Question Down 2 + 3

[Billy Dha Kid]

Do any of you Grundy players ever use d2 + 3? Is it useful? Does it have a purpose? My theory is that NRS added it so you can get punished if you mess up d2xxWC(C) and accidentally do d2 + 3

 

[Mikemetroid]

Not really. Slow and unsafe i think.

I've seen Tyrant use it sometimes. Seems pretty worthless in my eyes though

The only time I do it is when I mess up on d2xxwc. I bet its another one of NRS' ways of cursing Grundy players

 

[Youphemism]

I occasionally use it for quick stand setups, like double uppercut combos, and mix it up by doing either d23, d2~WCC~either f1 or b1, etc

BUT I DON'T MAIN GRUNDY LOLOLOLOLOL

 

[Billy Dha Kid]

Even still if it is used for quickstand it still sucks

Took me a minute to remember which string it was, that probably answers your question. It looks awesome, but it's completely useless.

 

[PPJ]

the string is pretty neat, has some non-gimmicky uses.
you guys can figure it out

So basically after the 3 part of D2 + 3 you have a couple of mixup options.
1. B1 DB2(mb) overhead + low mixup
2. B1 DB1(mb) overhead + overhead
3. F1 DB2(mb) low + low
4. F1 DB1(mb) low + overhead
5. Trait unblockable
Nothing mind-blowing but it's something

F1 with bane is the most useless move in gaming history , if it helps.

F1 has armor and can punish backdashes or zoning

no it doesn't lol, that's f.2

F1 is the wimpy fucking push

He's got mid screen crossup f3 set-ups with it, not that they're worth attempting.

Oops, but it's still plus tho, something Grundy doesn't have.

 

[Catnip_Her0]

i use it after knock down in the corner followed by d2 11 swamp fingers and so on.

It breaks armor on lvl 3 doesn't it?

 

[Peckapowa]

No, nrs likes to continue to create moves without an intended purpose just to dissappoint me...


btw this should be postedin the grundy support group thread.

 

[RYX]

It breaks armor on lvl 3 doesn't it?

Again, that's f.2. It's the really long reaching punch move

F.1 is the very short shoving animation and it has little use outside of situational. I think I can understand the confusion because f.1 is so underused nobody really thinks twice about it.

Pretty sure the 2nd hit of D2+3 wasn't comboing. Looks blockable in these situations to me. Notice how it doesn't register with the combo counter.

YIKES
