221 isn't a string.
Okay so u do 22 SC ur like minus 1 then what? A poke which leads to nothing or any other string they can mash poke out of?
Grodd is good at a few things. His d2 is top tier. His d1 is the best in the game hands down. Stampede as a standalone move is the best special in the game. His damage is probably top 5 also
His normals however do not force respect like other characters where you are forced to guess a 50/50 or if you want to disrespect their endless plus frames you can eat 400 damage for it off a d1. Put this together with the fact he has to get in on the person and will be eating dick the whole time then when he gets in the person has longer range more threatening normals.
Then you throw in his complete fucking aids matchups like Aquaman Robin scarecrow etc
Do you play grodd out of curiosity?
I don't think he's like shit tier but the only characters i think he's definitely better than are captain cold joker Don and raiden.
I'm guna take your opinion with a huge pinch of salt as I remember you saying drunken master isn't bad.
