Overview

Overview

Gran is a versatile ShotoShort for "shotokan"A character archetype defined by being similar in some way to Ryu or Ken Masters from Street Fighter. Shotos usually have a horizontal fireball, an invincible reversal, and a forward moving special move. character. Gran has a solid arsenal of moves which are fundamental to the fighting game genre. His reliable fireballA projectile which usually travels slowly across the screen in a horizontal path above the ground., DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion.s, and fast approaching moves combined with normals with few obvious flaws make Gran a very well rounded character who can play footsies well.

Perhaps Gran's most appealing aspect is the satisfaction of landing an attack in corner, as it nets significant reward for him. Meanwhile, his greatest shortcoming is also his greatest asset: his simplicity. His approach can often be predictable and he can struggle going into matchups that can keep him out of range.

Should you desire a straightforward-but-rewarding character wrapped in an anime protagonist package, Gran is the man.

Gran

Gran is a well-rounded character with an emphasis on close-range pressure.

Pros

Cons

Simple and Strong: Gran has all the tools he needs to win and is incredibly well-rounded. He has the classic shoto combo of fireball and DP, on top of generally solid buttons and specials that have few downsides.
Corner Controller: c.L, 66L, 2L his plus on block 2M, and his incredible reward on hit allow him to set up a strong strike/throw game in the corner. He has strong corner carry routes to bring opponents there as well.
Anti-Airs: Between 2HGuardMidStartup11Recovery24Advantage-13, 623HGuardMid×3, All×3Startup11Recovery32Advantage-30, and f.HGuardMidStartup9Recovery21Advantage-9, Gran can intercept jumping opponents quite easily at any range.
Damage: High damage off most hits and crushing damage in the corner further accentuates his strengths. Counterhits and anti-airs are especially brutal, typically breaking 5K for one cooldown near the corner.

Short Reach: The shortcomings of his quick normals are their relatively short reach compared to the rest of the cast.
Cooldown Cycling: Gran does not have reliable ways to cycle his cooldowns during combos without situational starters (antiairs, far wall bounces) often leading to low damage on the second hit.
Bad Supers: Tempest BladeGuardMidStartup6+5Recovery23Advantage-13 is incredibly slow, often not comboing from his far normals, and poor for punishing fireballs due to its very short invulnerability frames. CatastropheGuardAllStartup8+5RecoveryTotal 99Advantage-18 is similarly very slow, and often will not punish an enemy fireball even if it clashes from further out.

Gran's highest damage normal, the best choice for starting punishes or continuing combos when applicable. Massive hit stun on a grounded counter hit, allowing it to link into any normal other than 66H. The high reward can make this a tempting frame trap option from c.L but if the opponent doesn't take the bait Gran will be forced to use H Reginleiv to stay plus on block.

c.XX

Knee strike that moves Gran forward. Has poor scaling and high combo limit build, meaning reckless use of this move can result in shorter, lower damage combos. Safe on block and can frame trap into all versions of Reginleiv and Overdrive Surge (except their Ultimate versions) if the special cancel is delayed as much as possible. H Reginleiv is Gran's strongest option as it's plus on block and combos into f.M mid-screen or c.M in the corner.

c.XXX

Advancing sword slash with similar properties and uses as c.XX. If c.XX was used, then it is almost always canceled into this move unless the combo limit is about to trigger or if the opponent is too high up in the air during a juggle as this attack may whiff.

Launches the opponent away on air hit.

c.XX6M

Sweeping sword swing that can be used as a low mix-up. Rarely used in combos as it cannot be special canceled, will always whiff in juggles, and leads into less damage, meter gain, and corner carry than following up c.XXX with a special move. Decent combo ender if both Rising Sword and Overdrive Surge are on cooldown.

Grants hard knockdown on counter hit.

c.XX6H

Leaping sword slam that can be used as a high mix-up. Suffers from the same issues in combos as c.XX6M only now it is used exclusively in juggles. Gran's only standing high but it's never worth using due to it's high start-up and low reward.

Grants hard knockdown on counter hit.

A fast close range poke that is plus on block. Used in much the same way as c.L, to enact stagger pressure and interrupt the opponent's offense. Can cancel into most of Gran's special moves to round out a punish, but the cancel window is fairly tight so hit confirms are difficult.

Gran's fastest and farthest reaching poke. Can frame-trap the opponent with L Overdrive Surge or H Reginleiv if the special cancel is delayed. Also commonly used as mid-screen combo filler, such as after H Reginleiv or fully charged 5U. Combos into Tempest Blade even at max range though the cancel window is extremely tight and may fail entirely depending on combo scaling.

Has more start-up and recovery as well as less range than f.M, but does more damage, deals more hit stun, and pulls his hurtbox back during its recovery. Thus, it's great for counter poking. Rarely used in combos as f.M's faster start-up and c.H's range make either impossible to combo with or sub-optimal respectively.

Use it to set-up a tick throw on block, then go for frame traps into c.L once the opponent tries to avoid the throw. Can also catch opponents who were expecting an overhead after an empty jump.

Gran's dedicated anti-air. Its hitbox is huge, reaching high enough to catch opponents just as they start to descend from a normal jump. Its also wide enough to shut-down just about any cross-up. Canceling a successful anti-air into M Overdrive Surge can net a combo into f.M, even mid-screen without a counter hit. The massive untech time on counter hit always for several follow-ups, notably intentionally whiffing L Overdrive Surge allows for a link into c.H. While the slow start-up makes it difficult to use mid-combo, corner juggles into H Reginleiv can combo into it where it can then be canceled into 5U for a link into c.H.

Launches airborne opponents on hit.

Sword sweep that low profiles most projectiles and some pokes. Has much longer range and damage potential than 2L but must be special canceled to stay safe on block. Grants an auto-timed safe jump on a grounded hit, simply hold up to jump on the first possible frame and use j.H right before landing. Note that on a counter hit, a super jump must be used instead for the same effect.

Gran lunges forward with his sword sideways. Gap closing pressure reset tool, often used once Gran has been push too far away to continue pressure with light normals or 2M. Much like his other plus on block normals, this attack can either frame trap into additional plus frames or go into a throw to punish passivity.

Depending on the situation, slightly altering how Gran jumps can change whether or not this attack crosses-up.

A chargeable slash that moves Gran forward. Functions like a special move, meaning it can be canceled into from other normals but cannot be special canceled into other specials. Has 5 levels of charge with the current level indicated by the color of the wind around Gran when a new level is reached, the glow from his hand when canceling it, and the sparks emitting from his sword arm. In order of increasing level, the colors are: nothing (no effect visible), grey, green, blue, and purple.

The charge can be cancelled with L/M/H/G. This cancel will store Gran's current level, using the charge again will resume from the same point that the cancel was used. Gran will automatically cancel the charge after 2.5 seconds. The charge can still be used once level 5 has been reached which has some situational utility.

Used as a combo extender in the corner if the opponent is juggled high enough after 5H or 2H, regardless of charge level. At Level 3 and up, this attack will wall bounce the opponent in the corner, granting combo extensions that don't require a Heavy or Ultimate special move. Level 5 grants a mid-screen wall bounce, allowing Gran to get high damage outside of the corner. All levels wall bounce the opponent on counter hit in the corner, though frame trapping into this move is risky as it is unsafe on block if not spaced properly.

At level 5, the added range and invulnerability coupled with the guaranteed wall bounce turns this move into a terrifying neutral tool—one that can blow through any poke, projectile, and even some supers. The threat of Gran fully charging to Level 5 can urge an opponent to approach him and stop him from charging, allowing for potential mindgames in both neutral and pressure.

Launches opponents away on hit.
Wall bounces the opponent in the corner on counter hit.
Base damage increases with charge level.
Level 3 and 4 wall bounce the opponent in the corner.
Level 5 grants extra forward movement, start-up invincibility, and wall bounces the opponent on hit.

Forward throw knocks opponent far away, back throw switches sides and keeps the opponent close. The frame advantage from the knockdown is high enough to dash in and hit the opponent with meaty close normals. Grants auto timed safe jump-oki, simply hold up-forward and Gran will jump as soon as possible.As his light normals and 2M are all advantageous on block, Gran has many opportunities to tick throw the opponent. His throw range can be extended by plinking it with the dash button, making Gran's throws more likely to connect after extended pressure.

Projectile. Gran's traditional fireball.

236L

Gran launches a standard fireball that travels fairly fast and across the screen. Serves as a safe ender for his block strings and pokes.

236M

Gran slashes upward before shooting out a projectile. Despite first hit being a slash, it can cancel out projectiles, which is useful to turn projectile wars more in your favor. The delay is also helpful in throwing off your opponent's timing when trying to dodge 236L. In blockstrings, it serves as a better ender than 236L due to the pushback and better advantage.

First slash knocks grounded enemies into the air and forces an air recovery.

236H

A grown man 3-hit fireball, primarily a combo and pressure tool.

H Reginleiv does NOT knockdown standing opponents, but instead leaves them standing. Depending on distance and the state of the opponent, it can be followed by c.M when close standing, c.H when close airborne, and f.M when far. It is also worth throwing out when applying pressure in the corner. H Reginleiv can also frame trap from cXX, albeit in a rather tight window.

Invincible rising uppercut. Useful both as a damaging combo ender and a tool to escape pressure, at the risk of being highly punishable on block or whiff.

623L

The L version is not invulnerable, so its main use is to anti-airing where 2H cannot consistently hit (Katalina j.U, for example). Also completely air blockable, but punishing for opponent can be difficult considering how fast the cooldown is after you can DP again.

Hitting this move high in the air will allow a combo afterwards due to its long untech. Depend on distance, a close normal is even possible.

623M

The M version is invulnerable, and is the fastest option for resourceless invincible reversal. As they recovers mid-air, it effectively resets you back to neutral.

M versions is air unblockable on the first two active frame intervals only.

623H

H version grants a techable knockdown, which can be useful for reversing a sticky situation. In combos, it can act as an ender, or as a combo filler after a juggled c.M if it hits high enough.

H version is air unblockable for the first rise of the move, but not the second. Note that there is a small gap in-between the two strikes where daring players can attempt a counter hit punish.

Gran's advancing move and main combo tool for knockdown and damage.

214L

Gran dashes forward with a slash. Safest version of 214X at point blank. Can cancel into 214M on hit or block, which can be used to test your opponent's willingness to mash after 214L lest they risk a Counter Hit 214M.

On hit, 214L > 214M serves as his standard meterless combo ender. On the first hit if grounded, you can sneak in a (meaty) reset throw.

214M

Gran dashes forward with his foot out and covers a lot of horizontal space in front of him. Minus on grounded hit, and as it does not knock down on grounded hit you'll lose your turn should you end grounded combos with this.

On block safety ranges depending on the range used: at point blank, Gran is extremely punishable, however at farther lengths it can be spaced out to be safe and at most be slightly plus on block. On Counter Hit causes extended hitstun for a follow-up combo, but doesn't allow for a combo at point blank. Doesn't reliably combo from far pokes without a counter hit.

214H

Similar to 214M, but Gran dashes forward faster, allowing far normals to combo into it. Causes a wall bounce in the corner on hit regardless of counter hit, allowing for additional follow ups.

Has slightly better on-block values but still punishable if used incorrectly.

Gran charges up his sword with energy and stabs the opponent, blasting them away. Deals big damage but the first hit has a short reach. Try using it when close to the opponent as the damage dropoff is drastic without the cinematic hit from close range.

Don't bother trying to bulldoze through projectiles with this super either, as the invul frames run out before then.

An enhanced finisher for Tempest Blade dealing significantly more damage, though still less than Catastrophe. Only useable when Gran is in SSA mode.

The wallbounce from the blast leaves the opponent right next to Gran, allowing for better okizeme From Japanese "起き攻め". Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups.. As it's a Super Skybound Art, it removes a second Bravery Point from the opponent on hit including if a first was removed by Tempest Blade, but does not restore a second for Gran himself.

Doing technical input only for this part will not affect the damage; only the input of Tempest Blade matters.

Removes 1 Bravery Point for the opponent.
