Any challenges for AE characters?

I was hoping to get a basic grasp on some of the AE characters but it looks like there are no combo challenges for any of the new characters in AE. Does anyone know if there are plans for that?

No go one eventhubs or SRK they will get you going.

I took a look, and it doesn't seem to be happening. But honestly, most of the challenges trials don't tell you anything helpful, and combos ain't everything.

True, but if you don't know any how do you expect to land decent damage?

Solid fundamentals and a few hit-confirms/strong punishers and you're better than the vast majority or online players.

I think that used to be true but as the majority of people who are playing AE have been playing since SFIV, there aren't that many bad players around.

@StaticFalconar I know some of the combos in trials aren't too practical but it helps me grasp the fundamentals of a character. What goes into what, and how I should be approaching the opponent in a match.

I agree. The trials are a good place to start if your leaning a new character, it's a shame the AE guys don't have any.

Maybe I should make myself more clear. No trial has ever helped me learn a combo. For all intents and purposes, the trials combos are about as helpful as seeing the writing notation for combos on SRK. Which brings me to, SRK and other sites ain't exactly a secret, and they usually have a youtube link showing me how a combo looks as well as some tips on getting the timing down if its tricky. I probably learned more about how to approach an opponent in a match up with the replay system (as well as youtube vids ans such), then I ever did with the trials.

I'm a bit bummed that there aren't challenges for the new characters. I mean, they don't help all that much, but I've always found them fun. And clearing those higher level combos feels good.
