Clashable ChainThrows Hurt Grundy

Am I the only person losing more because of the chainthrows being clashable? It was nice finishing the throw and going for un-clashable setups in the corner. It was really helpful when I had low health, but now Grundy doesn't have that option anymore and has to uphill battle after the clash.

My training partner is adjusting nicely... Use f3, f3 after EX zombie hands for a hard knockdown which is unclashable and use that as your setup now. f3, b3 into stage interaction is very nice to close a match as well as it is huge unclashable damage.

I don't think it hurt him as much as people think it does.

i think it hurts his corner game the most more than the other uses for it,
especially since clash puts both chars mid screen.

unclashable chain throws were the main reason i started using grundy :(

Grundy's final throw in his chain becoming clashable is the weakest nerf in the history of nerfs. Oh no, you can no longer get the final bit of damage on one of the nine chain throws you will do in a match. Boo fckin Hoo.
It's not his final throw you can clash both the 2nd and 3rd parts of it.

He's slept on and people who don't use him don't see how well these buffs helped him.

Grundy had inescapable resets lol. I think he still does but now you can clash. :(

Oh, and he has Swamp hands

Thank you Konqrr for thinking outside the box.

Do you think that the other 25 characters don't have to change their gameplan when Clash is involved? Grundy was the only character who wasn't affected by clash to close out a round. Now he has to deal with it like every other character.

Adapt.
Ok. Dude. Chill the fuck down. Adaption has to happen I agree, but pretending like it doesn't hurt him hardcore is dumb. That was a massive nerf.

All I'm saying. Not even you can disagree with this.

Even before the nerf he would have still had problems in tournaments. The nerf was the nail in the coffin for me. So much potential but this games fundamental play does not help him at all.

I hope I'm wrong

It seems that the Grundy players are more hurt from this nerf than Grundy himself... you guys are so salty (there are three local Grundy players here)

EDIT: I hope they nerf him more... even if they nerf Frost along with him it will be worth it.
that vid made me laugh my ass off poor tenorman eating his parents lol.
