Tech Beating Grundy's Grabs: Walking Korpse, Trait, Etc.

Ok. So for the longest I've hated this character. The reasons I hate this character are numerous so I won't really even dabble into that but what I will do is investigate what things kan beat Walking Korpse. For all people that hate Grundy, and even Grundy Mains themselves that want to learn their match ups, post up any normals or specials that make Grundy wiff his grabs.

Make sure you tag me when you post a move so I kan add it to the list!

B3 or F3 is generally a universal way to beat the grab so instead I'll take note of the ones that don't have B3 or F3 as an option instead.

For strings: [ ] means that's the part of the string that makes the grab wiff.

The order of things is Specials first then normals. Everything is in order of usefulness. (Subjective of kourse.)

Everything I post here, unless otherwise noted, has been checked by me.

Additional Info by Sami
Raven:
  • b23 causes Walking Corpse (and pretty much any move that requires you to be on the ground) to wiff as Raven is treated as being in the air when 3 starts up. If the move is done too late she'll still be on the ground and grabbed. If done at the right time it'll not only cause the grab to wiff but will hit just as the armour ends, putting Grundy full screen. Raven can cancel f23 into trait as well, and Grundy no like demon stance.
  • Teleport causes WC to wiff as again her hitbox isn't touching the ground (she levitates slightly during the animation). Teleport is very punishable so needs to be done just as Grundy passes the point where he can no longer cancel WC.
  • f2233 will cause WC to wiff as Raven's hitbox is off the ground when the first 3 is active. However, the string is so long that unless done right at the start of WC, she'll be grabbed before the 3 is reached. The final 3 should become active after the grab has wiffed, the armour has ended and Grundy is in recovery frames, and will cause an overhead knockdown. b23 is a far superior string for stuffing WC than f2233 as it's quicker, puts Grundy full screen and gives you free trait.
  • This might have changed with WC's hitbox adjustment in the latest patch, but if Raven was to be grabbed at the edge of the hitbox (i.e. his hands would only just clip her), the armour had expired by then and a well timed special (Singularity, Soul Crush, Event Horizon, pillar) would knock him out of it. This *should* apply to anyone getting hit after the first active frame of WC. Again, no idea of this still works in the latest patch.

if this gets filled out I can sticky it! Useful info for Grundy players to know as well as people who face Grundy

Red Reaper Lex's trait renders his grabs useless, especially since they're all SUPER negative on whiff (which is essentially what happens when you hit Lex with trait) and since all the grabs are also only one hit, well, GG

Should add that moves with ungrabable frames must be timed right against Grundy. Ink is in some cases if the walking comes out in reaction to the string the walking corpse will hit when the ungrabable frames end

What a day. What a lovely day.
Oddly enough, last time I played Grundy, Catwoman's df3 made his grab whiff. I haven't actually tested it much though.

Hawkgirl's back 2, 3 (the 3) makes Grundy's walking corpse whiff while she gets the launch into combo.

Thanx. Added this info to the Raven Section.

Wonder Woman and Arrow can both D3 if timed properly, easier for WonderWoman to do it, and useless for arrow to do it since Savage Blast is such a good option.

Edit: Awesome thread by the way.

You're right though. Both of these are kinda useless since Wonderwoman has B2 and Arrow has Savage Blast.

Against lex you do a hit then wc to break the armor and then go for either a cancel or a throw off it. confuses the lex's.


Grundy f13 has significant unthrowable frames during the 3. Walking corpse also has unthrowable frames though it should go without saying and grundy's super renders him unthrowable.

doomsday 33 has significant unthrowable frames and his hopping knee combo is ground throw immune but you can aa grab him.
