This is the Most Busted Throw of King - Tekken 8

[@wittyag]

Ive absolutely had someone ragequit on me during the animation of RDC before they lost.

[@ProxyFox45]

Advice from a King player: Once the animation starts just start mashing 2. You’ll get out of the last part which is where the huge damage happens, you’ll eat a little bit from the first two parts but comparatively it’s worth not losing most of your life bar.

[@Saili_Orig]

No way a nice king player??

[@nexgen.graphics]

what if we changed the combo?

[@enriquesainz-pardoramirez9014]

You can change the last one and not do RDC but a nice damage variation grab. You can hold 2 all the time since the grab starts and it will tech the RDC

[@videogamesareforever]

RDC is not busted dude. You can opportunity to break it 3 times. And if you cannot, it's your fault. Remember that breaking throws is as important in tekken as learning combos or learning movement options.

[@ahmadmirzatappi8142]

Us grapple player either make or break depend on the opponent.... At the end of the days is just a knowledge check as countering a frame move, but in this game even grappler has combos so we dont need to sniff too much glue... Just enough

[@ImChiefinDis1]

That break window is small as hell remember that too lol

[@albrot123]

wym not busted look at the damage for completing it

[@Disquiet925]

Touching grass is important too

[@westwud8995]

Right

[@truth-12345.]

Man, it must be embarrassing with all this Mishima drama and in the final battles King defeated them with that move 1:30 🤣

[@azazel166]

His rage art in Tekken 2 was a one hit KO. Jack 2 also had a throw in Tekken Tag where he folded the spine which was also a one hit KO.

[@JohnThor13]

Seems like something Tony Ferguson would do.

[@VersShadow]

roling and jump is from tekken1- 3 see the intro of tekken 3 ( namco never seys rolling but it is)

[@ashtonjohnston6264]

That kick jin did near the end was sick ad fuck the like back flip thing i havent played yet im so excited

[@VersShadow]

do the v jump in the tekken 1, it is possible

[@vayolence]

Can you roll on the ground infinitely if you're skilled enough? I'm asking for a friend.

[@zaicheg_games]

No. It's a fixed duration and fixed damage

[@uncleiroh259]

Watching both you and lil majin NOT use the heat smash combo extension after back 1,2 (usually opt for forward 2,1 or forward 2, down 1,2 instead) makes me 90% sure I am missing something. Can you please explain why you wouldn’t or can’t do the heat-smash extension?

[@Vyomesh839]

Probably not used to his new tools so they use his old ones which they KNOW to work.

[@jasonnash4452]

because its a new game?

[@uncleiroh259]

@@jasonnash4452 true but these high level players know the combos and meta game sooooo well. The addition of a single hit that triggers a powerful new mechanic seems like something that would be obvious to them.

[@tonson5214]

I'm not quite sure what you mean. In what situation? Got a timestamp as an example?

[@ilusha2447]

because there are better ways to spend your meter

[@Nevertheless196]

can someone explain how he did this grappling move with king at the beginning

[@LouBanga47]

It’s move 188 on his combo list, I forgot the name lol

Rolling Death Cradle or RDC. Been around for a while since Tekken 2?

[@ZakColeman-uu8vv]

Ive been using king for years and years to memorize all the commands and timing for his chain throws. Now there like one or two buttons!. No fair

[@keystonelyte]

I don't remember which chain actually has simple inputs, but you can still do the classic inputs for proper damage.

[@quincyjacobs6994]

@@keystonelyteNo, it’s the same damage. King has a couple moves that have blue spark, and it changes the damage. But rdc being changed from double button inputs, to single button inputs have the same damage.

[@keystonelyte]

@@quincyjacobs6994 I mean, RDC is infamous because the input was always easy. It's literally 2, 1, 1+2+3 for the Chicken Wing Face Lock, and then 1+3, 3+4, 2+4, 1+2, 1+2+3. You can actually just hit 2, KC, KC and then 1+3, mash KC. KC = ki charge. The new input isn't much easier tbh. What I meant by simple inputs is one of his chain throws (I think it might be Mexican Magma Drive) literally just has you pressing 1 or 2 if I'm not mistaken. Idk, I've never really used that throw series as my Hail Mary, I won't start using it now lol

[@quincyjacobs6994]

@@keystonelyte Are you mental? It’s never been infamously easy, the rdc input has to be done correctly or it doesn’t come out. Personally I grew up in arcades, there’s no mashing all four buttons to make it work, and I don’t use shoulder buttons for the input. It’s like freaking child’s play right now, I’m not sure what you’re on, but you’re wrong lol. I’ve been a king main since Tekken 1, so thanks for the tutorial, but I’ve forgotten more about king than most of you knows have learned.

[@keystonelyte]

@@quincyjacobs6994 my Tekken 8 username is KeystoneLight, I'll be on tomorrow after like 4PM EST, I wanna see this. Steam btw, if you're a PS5 player I'm sure we can figure out something to get a player match going

[@KurikintonFlavor]

honestly, I cant tell which throw your talking about

How to block / counter king heat smash ?

[@AtaIarion]

Know what his options out of his stances are. Its a rly strong stance tho

[@yourvenparianen5390]

He has great 50/50 with it. Just a guessing game at this point...but then again every Mishima also have great 50/50 so instead of trying to guess. Make yourself some distance and let them wiff it to punish

[@solomone94]

how do i do this

[@DLV_8]

No idea I am searching how too

[@Dan-kr6to]

they nerfed the dmg from t7 lol

[@therealanbhv]

Not really. There are 2 inputs for the throws. If you use the new t8 input it gives that damage but if you do the old hard inputs it gives you max damage versions

[@dood_del5481]

it has blue sparks if u do the old input

[@therealanbhv]

@@dood_del5481 historically blue sparks represent the old just frame inputs/versions of moves that do more damage or give more advantage

[@nurdauletpolatbek2681]

Tbf, that is unrecoverable health

[@HWVIKTURUS]

@@therealanbhvi think RDC does less even with legacy input(?) unfortunately

[@ryanreliford4738]

I dont even know what throw you were referring to in the title. Good job 🤦‍♂️

[@aprilsasd]

it's the damn RDC,isnt it obvious?

[@Chonkyexp]

​@@aprilsasd you can break out of it 3 times if you cant thats a skill issue

[@tekkenizam]

Busted? You can escape it in three places, so no, it's not busted.

[@pat2rick26]

Well it's kinda busted. You forgot there can be newbies that could get matchups against pro players and don't know how to escape y'know? And there are some people who don't know the inputs to escape it and the inputs are very timey and precise, and finally that dmg is very insane you have to admit

[@tekkenizam]

@@pat2rick26 again, easy to esacape in several places. And tbh ppl who don't know how to escape and are too lazy to learn should eat all of it. Move is not broken, git good.
