Name v.5.0

Literally the only two buffs he needs are:

Make trait startup 5 frames faster (to get those tricky combos down)

And make stampede cancels easier to do..

Boom he just became more than viable
Ok, say you get a knock down on your opponent...What are you going to pressure with?

Stampede cancels mixed in with b2 pounces/ grabs and staggers..
Grabs I understand. Brave to use Stampede cancels. Pounces are D2'd on reaction.

My point was you can't safely use your strings. That's why we need a bigger cancel window and the gap removed from 22

Is grodd difficult to use I am looking into him, he seems interesting to me.

D2 is supposed to be a good AA... It gets stuffed or trades all the time.
I think it works well on a lot of the cast but it does get stuffed a lot. He literally cannot D2 Flash or Harley.

I wouldn't call it bad though...it's an A tier anti air. Haha.

If 2,2,1+3 was overhead and his float could be canceled into from a leap or jump, Grodd would climb the ladder for sure. He has great damage ( when you can land a hit ) and he has several ways to get in on zoning. MB roll, leap, MB stampede, projectile invulnerability. The one question I have is what is the use of his ground pound after float?
 
You know what...You guys are right...after really labbing, all we need is that SC to be fixed and we gucci frfr...then let's take it from there

As far as I know there is absolutely zero use for his ground pound after float. Absolutely useless as far as I'm concerned.

My fear is once the SC does get fixed there will be a lot of new grodd players jumping on this Locomotive!!!
I kinda doubt it. He's no fan favorite like Batman and Superman, and his core gameplay doesn't have enough tricks to ever make him top 10 material.

Either way, more people would be nice. It seems like there are so few of us.

Got some gameplay for my Grodd Familia...hope to receive some pointers and maybe this may help some of you as well.



Was wondering why you do a combo like 221+3, B2~DF1B, J2, then go right into mix up when you can still add on another B2~DF1B, J3, D2, B2~DF1B, J2

Seems like you're losing a bunch of possible damage.

I like the cancels in the first vid though. Well done.

Life is a block string with no gaps.
Did you guys see Steve with that float blast ender into the primal leap grab reset? I haven't played much Grodd lately, but that was sick, although a little situational (must have trait active) and it requires a bar of meter.

Thank you my brethren, I will definitely lab more!!!

There's not a lot I wouldn't give to be able to play like my Grodd AI loadout. Them CRAZY combos using SC and B2 where I didn't even think was possible.
