Resident Evil 5 Grabbing question

[chaosrhythm]

Well first of all i want to say thanks for letting me in the forum. This is going to be my first post here.

Anyways my question is about the majini grabs. Yeah they're pretty annoying but here's the thing i was watching a couple of youtube videos and i noticed that the person playing managed to get out of a grab pretty quickly...just like less than 2 seconds.

i was wondering if other poepple noticed it too and if there is a way to finish the grab faster.

there is. the instant you get grabbed, a quicktime-event is triggered. move the left analog stick(on x-360) as fast as you can, and the faster you do it, the faster the majini will release you.

Hope this helped, and welcome to the forum!

i tried something and i think im unto something. when i move the left stick left and right fast and when i mash the buttons at the same time as well, i can get out of the grab quicker.

its more obvious when you're grabbed from the front; you don't see the majini trying to take a bite at you. can you guys try it out as well and see what you get? im using a ps3 by the just in case you guys were interested.

Yeah, in RE4 (on GC) I use to be able to get outta grabs really fast haha pressing all the buttons does help but you do have to move the left stick how its promted you to. I have not noticed how to get out of grabs really fast... if it involves wearing down my pad then I wont bother with it lol

There is a simple trick really, just call for help and your partner might(assuming they aren't busy trying to heal you, or give you ammo, or pick up treasure across the map) knock them out.

Did anyone notice how much more aggressive the Majini were in the early RE5 trailers? They would actually grab your throat, put you in an armlock from behind and force you to the ground, kind of frightening actually, and it looked like we(Chris) could perorm a punch right after releasing from the grab...it seems like all that went away when Capcom trashed alot of the original stuff for a grand, spankin' new partnah', Sheva...
