How to get out of king grabs

[Aldrakir]

It doesn't matter what I press it never seems to work. While I can get out of normal grabs fairly easy. Is the timing just stupid hard or what

Or this one.

Also i recommend mashing the button you are supposed to press and not just press it once in the right moment. The time window is very slim.

So i was right. They are 1 or 2. Suck it people calling me wrong :D

Do you even understand what a command throw is? Go to a practice and set AI to do a grab called for example " Muscle Buster", and try to break it with 1 or 2.

There are 2 videos showing using 1 or 2 to break king grabs. Aris even said giant swing (a command throw) is broken with 1.

King works differently to other characters. And to escape his chain grab you use 1 or 2.

Watch both videos posted please

And he is absolutly correct, however kings has a lot of different command grabs.

And again go to a practice room set to AI to do a "King's Bridge" (one of his chain grabs), try to break it with 1 or 2 after the initial throw xDDD

Just tried breaking kings bridge and muscle buster. Sinced you named them.

Muscle buster- all throws but the last one are broken with 1, the last is broken with 2

Kings bridge- initially broken with 2, then 1+2.

So basicly @op the answer is learn the throws or guess

I meant muscle buster as a single command throw d,d/b,b 1+2 not in a chain throw combo. You have to break it with 1+2, so is the iSW or tombstone. You dont need to guess all the time you should just look at the animation. If its a right hand then you should press 2, if left press 1, if a character reaches both hands then its a 1+2 grab. The 1 exeption is the giant swing, it looks like a 1+2 throw but you need to break it with 1.

Your welcome :) You can also test "executioner drop", isw (called tomahawk), "clothline press". Just a few that came to my mind.

Yeah, but these things are still important cuz almost every character in the game has at least 1 command grab. So just keep practicing ;)

True, i have awful reactions to throws. Even knowing the buttons im awful at breaking them XD

My only issue with king's grab chains is they are a little too safe as in even if you get out of one you don't get much if any room to punish him for it where as with other characters if they drop a combo you usually have a tiny window to punish them for it.
