I got better at the fights by turning the difficulty all the way down (not really here for those anyway) and by switching from keyboard to gamepad control. That helped me discover the "shake control stick back and forth" method to breaking free of a man or monster hold.No, not really. You actually have to abuse the combat system. Use your flying knee. If you're quitting on the robots because you cannot beat them, you're gonna smash your computer on a boss like wowza or whatever his name is.
