Tekken 8 King combo guide: Heat Moves, Rage Art, combo examples

King is a force to be reckoned with in Tekken 8, as his moves are simply too difficult to evade. Not to forget, his grab game is menacingly strong. This jaguar-masked character incorporates both Lucha Libre and Pro Wrestling in his fighting style. For these reasons, he has been appearing more frequently in online matches.

This guide outlines a few King combos in Tekken 8 and details his Heat Moves.

When it comes to character moves, every Tekken title follows a traditional notation consisting of alphabets and numericals. For instance, the "u, d, b, f" (up, down, back, forward) denotes directional inputs, and the "1, 2, 3, 4" (left-punch, right-punch, left-kick, right-kick) buttons are used for action.

A lot of King moves require a forward hold action, which is indicated by the “F” input.

Let’s start with a King combo that any Tekken 8 beginner should be able to execute. All it takes is a successful Jumping Knee Lift into Brutal Sting to unleash this easy 60 damage move string.

To get some extra juggle on your opponent, you can always go for a Heat-driven King combo. While the initial inputs aren't difficult to perform, you have to be careful in the end, as the consecutive grabs can be tricky.

This King combo in Tekken 8 can be a game changer when you land the perfect Capital Punishment. Once the target is knocked down, make sure to execute the Mincer cancel to get the perfect wallcarry.
