Does anyone think that Catwoman beat Grundy 6-4 besides billy dha kid?

How do u approach the grundy match-up? I know cat stance is grab immune but I really have a hard time against a good grundy.

Yeah I do a lot of j2 because Grundy can't really do nothing about it. His wake ups whiff when Cat-woman does a f3 up close which can lead to grundy to respect Catwoman up close which will lead to Mix ups.

Grundy cannot play footsies in this mu, the only thing he can do is try punishing careless j2 but even then if you walking corpse on reaction CW can do f1 which is grab immune. You also cannot do swamp hands to keep her in check because if she jumps it she can pretty much j2 fullscreen

Dodge and catch them with swamp hands on the way down

If it only was as easy as that

Grundy negates all Footsie period.

He can punish all Jump back and Jump in 2's with MB SH's.
If you don't have meter, just block and THEN WCC.

There are also spaces where if she jumps you can dash under her and D2 the J2. This is much more risky and requires some huge ballz.

If she presses a button on my wakeup i'm doing a WCC and reacting accordingly.

There is absolutely ZERO reason to ever do WC outside of a corner combo.... or to catch a true projectile. And even then, cancelling leads to much greater damage.

Her f3 beats all of Grundy's wakeups

how would it beat WC?

Am i missing something?

It goes right through it and makes it weird to cancel

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

ahh ok

i thought you meant it "stuffed" it.... and I had this face like your avatar on.

What Bit said also.

As a Grundy you gotta learn to live with the fact that you might lose 90% of your life to take an entire life bar. Thems the breaks.

when i played this MU...... i personally would always try to go for damage trait FIRST.... then health trait. Personal preference.... but typically having the power trait makes shorter combo's worth way more than typical. Then Health trait can cover the damage you'd take from doing WCC.
Granted most people swear by the health trait and that is fine too. I just don't see the benefit of the chip trait in THIS particular matchup (for now).
Too bad we dont' really get to see anyone but Tyrant offline

Can we talk about superman again? I feel like the neutral is never in my favor with grundy because f2 is so dominant

It is still a tough match, wcc is basically all you've got. The thing is superman is played in different ways, a zoner, can be anticipated and broken with patience, whilst when it comes to a rushdown type you're going to have more problems. I use a lot of d2 and standing 2 to try and get the footsies in where possible. Jumping 3 counter and hard knock down work well to keep them guessing. Superman's trait is a nightmare though...

you gotta get a read on how they like to air dash , when you think its a dash forward do a reverse WCC and punish with standing 2 whatever , just adding my 2 cents

 

[juicepouch]

Interesting... I'm just sick of getting jaw jacked all day lol. I agree with Klesk, I'd rather fight a zoner supes than a rushdown supes any day

 

[JTB123]

Make sure you practice blowing up his wake up attacks, all of his viable ones are punishable with full combos.

Waaaah I wish you were on Xbawkz. Would love to explore this. Think everyone jumped on the 8-2 train too early.

Black Adam: Discuss.

I've taken 2 games off of 2 good adam players out of 25 games total, and I know the matchup can't be that bad. I just don't know what I'm supposed to be doing when he's just jumping around like a jackalope lol

You aren't the only one. I feel like in this mu you have to wait until he does a mistake (divekick on wcc for example) to get your damage but at the same time you have to be always moving towards him or else you'll achieve nothing which makes it super annoying. Combine that with his African legged j2 into guaranteed pressure I just don't know what to do myself @Clark Luthor
