Trouble with King's Chain grabs

[Dave]

I'm having way too much trouble with King's chain grabs, especially the Rolling Death Cradle. Any way on how I can do this on pad?

I'd tell you not to bother, they are generally unviable and easy to break. Even easier in this version of the game.

But if you absolutely insist on learning it just for the fun of it then the easiest way is to map the shoulder buttons all to combinations, especially the 1+4 and 2+3 combination. Then you should be able to one button the lot of inputs. The trick is not to rush or mash the inputs either, do them precisely with a defined rhythm.

That's not my biggest problem right now, though. There's one grab chain I can do entirely, but the rest I can't do because I have to press 3 buttons at once.

You don't need to press 3 buttons at the same time, just hold previous input and press third button that you need.
If you bind
1+2 on LB,
3+4 on RB,
1+3 on LT
2+4 on RT

Do Arm Breaker (f,N,d,D/F+1+4)
-2,LB(hold),3
-LT,RB, RT,LB(hold),3
Do it slowly, so you won't mess your inputs

Dragon Sleeper Finish is the only one exception there you need to press 3 buttons at the same time (can be done by pressing LB+4)

Three buttons at once can always be healed by combining two buttons to R2.. Such as A and X, now all you need to do is press B +R2.

Edit:too late, I've also mixed PlayStation inputs with xbox ones...

learn button buffering

[Shirakani]

The '3 buttons at once' is easily handled by determining which button gives you 2, then manually adding the +1 on the face. For example if I had R1 mapped to both punches 1+2 and i need to press 1+2+4, I'd simply press R1+4.

If I had to press 4 buttons at once, then I'd press R1+R2 or R1+L1 or whatever is mapped to 1+2 and 3+4.

Also, inputs can be buffered. Just don't RUSH them. Tekken has the most LENIENT input window of ALL fighting games in existence EVER.
