About (SML+MED) grapples

[abysswalker]

So guys im going to buy the game tomorrow, and i was checking guides to get ready but i saw there are sml+med grapples and they are quite important. I suck at pressing buttons at the same time, is there any way to map them to one key? Also i think im going to use my keyboard so keys are going to be z+x, is it easy to press them at the same time? If not, i want to map both of them to one key, how can i do it?

EDIT: Is it easy to do them with a controller? If yes, i'm going to use my controller.

As far as mapping the controller or keyboard, try Joy2Key or something similar for SML+MED grapples (LT and L2 aren't use so that may help). As far as controllers, from my experience, it's much easier to use the default controls to use the SML+MED grapples (X+A on XBox and Square+Cross on PS4) since I've never use a keyboard on this or most games in my library.

Yeah on most controllers SML and MED are set to the left and bottom face buttons, which I generally use my thumb to do, admittedly not with 100% success rate but its around 95%

Unfortunately whilst the game does let you remap buttons it doesn't let you map SML+MED to a button, but as suggested you could use controller emulation software (Steam has the ability, I personally use a program called Antimicro) the game only uses one of the trigger/second shoulder buttons which leaves one free you could map it to.

I myself use this technique, I don't press both (x+a) with my thumb. I switch my hand position temporarily and use my index and middle finger at the same time for those keys. Then I switch position again. This might help because you don't need to use it much often.

So, thanks for all the answers. I installed Joy2Key and mapped SML+MED to R1, it works flawlessly. If u are playing with a controller, u MUST do it imo.

You should map it to L2 because all the other buttons are used by default. You can see this if you find a button guide.

I remapped all of the buttons in keyboard.

I play with the xbox one controller. I'm not very good at button mashers or complex controls, and I find the game pretty playable as is. Just play the tutorials and you'll be fine. It's more about timing than button combination precision. If you don't play the tutorials, you'll be button mashing and wondering wtf is happening. It took me about an hour to not suck at it, so you should be able to do better in half the time. lol.

It's not about timing buddy, i'm quite alright with timing i guess. 11 hours passed and im playing at level 8 (its quite hard but competitive for me) It's about pressing buttons at same times, i can't do it, i don't know why but its too hard for me to press 2 different buttons at the same time and also timing the move. But thanks to other comments, i'm using Joy2Key and i mapped SML+MED to a button, now it's perfect.
The thing is, for example i'm trying to hit a Cutter (non-grapple one) i must move fast and keep the position, i know that i'm really bad at pressing to two different buttons at the same time so i'm panicking and everything gets ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, now the whole match build-up is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ because i messed up my final move. I wanted to prevent this.

I use XPadder so I made R1 the finish on my PS2 controller I use on my PC because it lets you combine two buttons to be one. Easier than than trying finishers on the GBA.

Well you can reconfigure the keys ingame; I set sml+med to left shift + left ctrl
