Yeah, that's the exact reason I didn't upgrade my melee damage. Wasn't sure how long we'd have to wait for NG+ so I didn't want to upgrade and not be able to do longer combos.
Awesome combos bro. How are you pulling the up into the air to start with? Are you using the swing kik to launch, if so how do you do the swing kick? I seem to not be able to nail it down.
If the enemy is on the ground and you're in the air, you can hold triangle to pull them up to you. Once they are in the air, you just hold square and you will kick them. If you click triangle right as the kick lands, you can push them higher up into the air. Easiest ways to get enemy in the air is hold square when you're on the ground to punch them up, or click square then X and it will send you up into the air and you can pull them to you.
broo does anyone know how to get the animation where he goes under and behind them in the air and uses both hands to smack the enemy down and they fly back up?
