Kombos and Experience - All of your earned combos are displayed, as well as your current accumulated experience statistics.

Using Your Guns
If you have a gun in your inventory, press L2 to draw the weapon. If you have more than one gun in your inventory, you'll need to specify the gun you want to use before you can draw that gun (see Inventory, pg. 13).
Once you have your gun drawn, you can fire it at your opponents in the game's default view, or press and hold L1 to access Target Mode for a better aim. This is probably best used when your opponent is at a distance. He may be all over you if you wait until you're closer.
When using the Sniper Rifle, press and hold L1 for Target Mode, then try pressing and to zoom in and out. You can get a clean, more accurate shot using this feature.
