Combo Assist

Performing combos can take a bit of knowhow in this game. You’ll need to string along different melee rush attacks (X/Square) and projectile Ki blasts (Y/Triangle) together. Using the same attack patterns will drop a combo, so you need to keep things fresh. Remembering what you haven’t used yet to keep the attacks coming can be surprisingly difficult at first. Though these basic combos are primarily just two buttons, it’s enough to create a sizeable difference in damage between those who know the systems and those who mash away.
From what I can tell, Combo Assist is supposed to help by outputting an ideal attack to keep the combo up. I believe it does this by switching between rush attacks and ki blasts for you. This is the only assist feature I don’t recommend using, since I could not consistently trigger it in my time of testing. Sometimes I could use one button to get a longer-than-usual combo out and at other times there was no difference. Attempting to trigger it by intentionally pressing the wrong button for a combo felt inconsistent as well.
