I think my thumb broke from shooting Stryker's gun constantly at the 5 Khans. I finished it (after many tries) before I read that you can touch Khan's head to stun him. I finally completed the challenge tower but I hated 70% of it. I hated the 2nd to last challenge with the big head Raiden (I never use him). I think I finally completed it with air torpedos on ground and in the air and teleports.
For Lilrican, I finished 95 (Rain vs the World ... of Ninjas) with basic forward jump kicks, then duck-uppercut when they block. Sometimes I'd throw in his fast roundhouse (D,B+4 I think) if they are close - they didn't really punish for that. Or teleport (D,U) when I felt a missile attack coming and uppercut them. Overall though, just lots of uppercuts (I'm just not a ninja player). I just did it again before this post to see and these (boring) tactics worked again first try.
For 147 (Kung Lao vs Armor Noob), I held the block button with the fingers of my left hand and rapid-tapped Noob with first 2-3 fingers of right hand and my left thumb, whatever could fit, haha! I couldn't see half of the screen but I just focused on tapping Noob while staying blocked. I ate about 30% health before he broke. Then it was mostly mid-screen dive-kicks followed immediately by hat toss until my X-ray was up.
Other than the big head missions (especially 149) and balance tests, I hated Kabal's missile dodge. I finally got it after memorizing a pattern from youtube. Still not fun.
