I'm thinking the perfect freeflow 2.0 might be the trophy that stumps people the most. The shear number of moves in the game might make it extremely tough to pull off without loosing the combo.

The challenges might be tough, but it doesn't look like there is a shock and awe type of challenge and that was the only one that ever gave me a lot of trouble.

Shock and Awe was a bitch. It took me 2 frustrating hours to complete it, the others no more than 15 minutes each. If there's nothing like it, then those trophies shouldn't be too bad.

That's true. That was definitely the most frustrating one back in Arkham Asylum.

In Arkham City the environment doesn't affect the Combat Challenges. I played through most of the Challenges already and from what I saw there are no electrified plates this time.

It'll be much easier without the plates. I had little trouble with any of the challenges outside of both Shock & Awe challenges. I only ever beat Shock & Awe Extreme (with the three medals score, anyway) something like 4 or 5 seconds after time expired. I had three or four guys alive when the timer expired and I just got lucky. The only reason that was challenging was the time limit. None of the other ones were particularly challenging.

If you are good at the combat system, then you can easily engineer a high score. It was almost trivial to build up your combo by exploiting the single punch / jump method. Once you were at 30, you could use the Batarang or the Batclaw to incapacitate a bunch of guys, use the ground pound (twice, if possible), and then repeat. The only annoyance (nothing major) was in the more difficult challenges when guys would shoot at you or throw things at you. Regular guys (even the knife-wielding ones and taser baton ones) presented no problem.

I love you PowerPyx for these videos.

Also, are they as tough as Arkham Asylum? I still haven't completed that one's combat challenges.
