Tekken 7: Armor King Staple Combos

[@legendaryMihawk]

I forgot to mention something, the iSW is his while running 2+4. So you wanna do a running 2+4 in order to get the shining wizard! Hope you guys like the video!

[@madvillainfgc1953]

Im getting 80 damage on that first combo constantly is something itherem doing wrong?

[@voidzerorgable]

For the combo at 10:00 if you do a ws 4 instead of the up input you'll get 3 more damage on the combo

[@OldManNutcakez]

The reason you may not want to do a ws4 is if the CH db3 hits off axis. Which it sometimes does vs side stepping opponents who hit a button. Also, I think at max distance, the ws4 will also whiff.

Thank you Mihawk, your content helped a lot of beginners and intermediates players during a long year !

[@DontKnowNoGood]

I know this is lasy of me, but I was most definitely waiting for you to upload this before I started playing with Armor King lol

[@FredM8Beats]

you didn't even try it by yourself in the lab??? that's the fun part of new characters imo

[@DontKnowNoGood]

Fred M8Beats I tried out his normals but those sample combos aren't as practical as the one's in these videos so I waited.

[@FredM8Beats]

@@DontKnowNoGood i don't mean the sample combos, i mean to look through the movelist, and combinate the launchers, with screws and stuff on your own, i think this is the most fun part, but you're right, these are much better combos, as i did find myself ':D

Thank You Mihawk! AK was always one of my original mains. Glad to have him back.

For the ended off of the ff3 combo @ 3:20 you can also do ssl dash 1+2,2 f1+4

[@happ0bapp0]

Actually you might not need to dash

[@ShadowCeltic]

If mihawk makes a combo video, its legit... Thanks man

[@jonaswinters6489]

0:48 how do you do the cd2 directly after cd1?

[@luka-od5el]

There's a setting in practice mode called "recovery ..." (sorry I forgot the name lol) and what it does is show you when your character is free to do an action. *Turn that on.* Start the combo with the cd2 and look at Armor King, the moment he stops flashing blue, you have to input cd1 really fast. Start inputting the cd1 AFTER he turned back no normal. The timing is really tight and you will have to practice it for some time. After a while the timing will be muscle memory to you. Any more questions, stoner?

Atm 5:56 you can do 2 df1 for extra 3 dmg also no need to dash after ss 2,1

[@Kimcirac]

for anyone having trouble doing CD1 after CD2 like I had: you have to press 1 FAST when doing CD1, don't do CD slowly like other movements. AK wavedash cancels as soon as you press the button, that lets you do some stuff superfast, like his chain throws. I didn't know that and I was hitting the CD1 off axis all the time. Hope this helps some people.

[@billyhoyle8257]

Hey mate im having trouble as well, so press it like an electric? On the frame? Or is their a cancel animation im unaware of haha

[@Kimcirac]

@@billyhoyle8257 it's a bit weird to explain, you do the CD1 motion but as soon as you get to DF press 1 as soon as possible without letting go of DF

[@Drstark1]

I'll try that, thanks for the tip, I always either go off axis or cross up with it

[@martinithechobit]

ty for the breakdowns and give me idea on combos based on damage, ease, and flashy styling and profiling.

[@jinkazama7587]

Rage art has the potential for big damage like a giant swing when AK is cornered. Normal usage is just normal throws (for now)

[@someguy1000009]

You mean rage drive? Cuz you can do RD into giant swing in the open

[@OldManNutcakez]

His RD is mediocre. Range isnt good, the priority is inferior to most RDs and it is a high from CD. And that remains AK's key flaw, his best moves are highs & lows, so opponents do tend to duck a lot.

[@someguy1000009]

Can always do cd into wr1 when they start ducking to launch

[@jeromios]

Can't even do the first combo. Man, cd2 into cd2 again is too fast for me, even though I'm playing on a damn keyboard, I'd never do this on a fightstick

[@hbarlowe39]

A good wall combo to try is cd2 f1+4 fhcf1 (not sure if my last notation is correct but the move is Muscle Driver)

[@rusekitten745]

Found a good one, probably been done but I haven't seen it. CD2, 4, CD1, DF1, DB+2,4 , ISW ends up being 84 dmg. and the isw isn't too hard to hit.

[@Tyreinn]

too bad you were in rage when you found that sick combo, and it actually does 77 damage

[@MrTBass11]

can't connect CD2 with CD2 or CD1 with a keyboard, i always whiff... maybe i just have to practice more

[@prototyrant369]

you have to do it on the earlier frames after you recover, it's pretty difficult tbh

[@pemimpiradikall]

Yeah as hard as landing EWGF twice in a row

[@men-dio-blo6]

So ws2(ch) gives me more time while opponent is in crumple or is it strickly timing? I'm just having a hard time understanding how cd2 is coming out that quick. Are you inputting cd while charging again and hitting 2 once it's over? Edit: at 7:14

[@Oomze]

You really are the real mvp

[@grimmover]

In the 8:54 combo you can fit in DF 2s after DF3 for 69 DMG total. In 10:12 combo after CH DF3 do WR4 then DB2,4 But cool vid as always

[@mathiasprudhomme6495]

I can't hit the df3 at 8:54, is there like a hard timing or am i missing sum ?

[@xoz2311]

Yo guys 6:47 i have no clue on what to do after his first ki charge hit , its the u cd:2 i dont know what to press even when i tried its not the same hit in the video

When you get the 2nd ki charge, do the cd:2 by doing a cd but hold the d/f and then press 2.

[@ZiyaB3ast]

Best wall combo I've found is a simple 1,2 Jab into ground grab (2+4) which gets you a free gaint swing.

[@egrassa1480]

But ground throw is a mixup and 1,2 into ground throw works only with highsplatted opponents, in every other case you do 1 or 2 jab into ground throw.

I have a question about that part of a combo, when you do a db2,4 then running towards the opponent and doing a mid-air grab fff2+4. How do you time your grab, or run to be able to catch him mid-air? I tried the combos with that mid-air grab in the end and i was failing all the time to grab him mid-air in the end.

can someone explain how first combo works? there has to be a trick or a cancel df1 wont connect and when it does there is no enough time for the iws4 let, also the cd2 cd2 doesnt carry him that high like in the video

[@bobatea6682]

The combo works. Use recovery mode in practice. It shows when the character is done executing the love and when the character is ready to do another move. (This mode solves both problems: "df1 ws4" and "cd2 cd2") The cd2 is literally like the EWGF (Electric Wind Godfist) of Kazuya. There's a tutorial for it.

[@jonttuvincent5396]

I just picked up AK and after playng mostly Claudio and Kat his best combos seem pretty tough, especially The ones where you need to do cd1 after launcher. Also, regarding the first Combo; After I do 2 dark uppers in a row the df1 always whiffs. What am I doing wrong? Anyways,thanks for the vid man, really enjoying the character so far!

[@jujumack94]

JonttuVincent idk how you input the down forward but press forward and hold down instead of all the commands

[@zipzip070]

Linking his cd2 into a cd1 or another cd2 takes some practice. You must input the cd1 or 2 quickly, but at the right time. The timing is less lenient on cd2 into another cd2. If you mess that up, some followups can miss like your df1 and the db2,4. Try turning on recovery mode in training to see when AK is actionable after a cd2. A visual cue that helped me was to try inputting when AK's elbow just about returns to his torso. Also, practice. Took me like 5 days to make cd2 into cd1 into muscle memory. cd1 in general is a very powerful followup after launcher. Try doing it after CH df3 and now uf3. You can even try it from normal and delayed hopkicks but the timing is extremely strict.

[@GP-tt2te]

Yeah I tried picking him up cause he's such a cool character but his execution is on the tough side.He's not even a strong character either so it feels like the reward isn't even that great.

The inputs are fine, but you don't even have to tap forward 3 times. As long as you're running, you should be able to grapple him. I can even do the d/f1 twice after the u/f3 move and it will still connect. You're probably trying to grapple him too early. I really wouldn't know otherwise. Good luck bro.

[@dempkuun9253]

I'm having a problem with the b1(ch) combo being inconsistent. Any tips?

[@zipzip070]

After b1(ch), you need to delay the vault over (3+4) until just a bit after the opponent's knees hit the ground. Too early or too late and you will not get the pop-up for the follow-up. Take it into practice mode to get a feel for the timing. b1 is one of his best ch tools. You can get a bit more damage by adding a df1. Example: b1(ch), 3+4, 2, df1, db2,4, iSW (or wr2,1) Alternative wall carry: b1(ch), 3+4, 2, df1, db2,4, dash cd1, f1+4
