Gran's fastest button for pressure, great for frame traps and tick throws. It can link into {{clr|3|c.M}} on regular hit for a hitconfirm. When done meaty, it can avoid some of the slower reversals.

Has slightly less range than his {{clr|3|f.M}}, but pulls his hurtbox back a bit. Great for counter poking. It has enough range to hit after you end your string with a fireball and doing so can catch mashing, but it's not recommended to do all the time because there are moves that will beat it.

Really strong anti-air with a good hitbox in front and behind Gran, allowing him to beat out opponents jumping behind him. On CH, whiff {{clr|1|214L}}>{{clr|4|2H}}>{{clr|3|214M}} is a good damage combo with great corner carry, but when they're closer to the ground/to you you'll need to go for an alternate route. Also has great application in corner combos due to its hitstun.

As of 2.0 Patch the increased start-up and the nerfs to many of Gran's other moves have made many corner combos unreliable at best or impossible to do. Notably corner {{clr|3|2H}}>{{clr|4|5U}} is not only harder to go into but can't loop into itself reliably anymore.

Gran's sweep is very fast and very evasive. It goes under a lot more things than even it's animation would suggest. Sets up for a safejump on its own and after combos. {{clr|2|2U}} > SSBA is safe on block up close (or after a dash), making it a safe poke into 5k damage. Make sure you're close, because if you're a little too far away the SSBA can be dodged and you're going to get punished hard.
Gran's sweep. 2nd farthest normal poke. It low profiles normal projectiles. Sets up for a safejump on its own and sets up for high damage combos.

Gran's {{clr|2|j.U}} is a ridiculous jump-in and crossup attack. It hits all around him, which makes it by far his best jump in and arguably the best jump-in attack in the game. Use it after safejumps, use it whenever you're in the air. It's just that good. It's only real fault is that it's slower than most air normals, so you will have to use something else to air-to-air.

A chargable slash attack. Can be charged up to five levels and gains invulnerability at level five. Each level will also increase in damage and range.
A chargable slash attack. Can be charged up to four levels and gains invulnerability at level four. Each level will also increase in damage and range.


Charge can be cancelled with L/M/H. Level is stored and resumes charging from the same level when using {{clr|2|5U}} again. Gran will auto cancel charge after Level 5, and once he's at Level 5, he can still delay the attack by holding {{clr|2|5U}} or cancel it like normal.

Level 4 and 5 will cause a wallbounce in the corner allowing for combo extensions.
On normal hit at Level 2 it will cause a wallbounce in the corner allowing for combo extensions. On counter hit all versions will wallbounce on hit in the corner.


It's also a decent pressure tool as it's 0 on block when spaced at the tip and also pulls Gran's hurtbox back a bit.
The knockback at Level 4 can wallbounce midscreen   


Can be used in some corner combos if an opponent is high enough after {{clr|4|2H}}.

Between buttons such as {{clr|1|c.L}}, {{clr|1|2L}}, {{clr|3|c.M}}, and {{clr|3|2M}}, throw is a particularly strong mix-up option for Gran as it offers many tick throw opportunities. Gran's ability to convert the opponent's whiffed throw techs into enormous damage also serves to make his throw mix up game all the more scary.

Same use as most overheads, checking for low blocks and getting counter hits on late buttons or throws. Gran gets really good reward off of CH Overhead in the corner due to his explosive corner damage, enough to end the round from half health with all specials and super.

Gran gets really good reward off of CH Overhead in the corner due to his explosive corner damage, enough to end the round from half health with all specials and super. As of 2.0 Patch Gran can get a stronger Midscreen combo thanks to the changes to H Reginleiv, allowing for follow-ups and better damage.

Projectile. Gran's traditional fireball.
Projectile. Gran's traditional fireball.
* '''L version''' - Standard fireball. Travels fairly fast and across the screen. Serves as a safe ender for his block strings and pokes
----
* '''M version''' - Gran slashes upward before shooting out a projectile. The first slash cancels out projectiles. Useful to turn projectile wars more in your favor as you can cancel out incoming projectiles with the upward slash  before throwing out a projectile of your own. Also is helpful in throwing off your opponent's timing when trying to dodge {{clr|1|236L}}. Serves as a better blockstring ender than {{clr|1|236L}}, but the gap between the upward slash and the fireball is enough to be interrupted in.
;L Fireball
* '''H version''' - A grown man 3-hit fireball. On hit it knocks your opponent down for a hard knockdown. Has advantage on block and deals virtually no pushback allowing you to extend pressure in the corner. Useful in winning fireball wars since it can mow down other projectiles, and the long untech time can allow you to advance closer. However, exercise caution in doing so as a whiff from full screen will leave you without a projectile for some time.

;H Fireball
* 3-hit fireball.
* Hard knockdown on airhit.
A grown man 3-hit fireball. As of the 2.0 Patch H Reginleiv does NOT knockdown, but instead leaves them standing. Depending on distance and the state of the opponent, it allows for combos afterwards. At least +7 on hit, allowing for follow-ups even midscreen provided that the opponent is close enough to be hit. Primarily a combo and pressure tool, as it has lost a lot of its neutral prowess due to the nerf. Worth throwing out when applying pressure in the corner, however. H Reginleiv can also frame trap from cXX, albeit in a rather tight window.

On hit, {{clr|1|214L}} > {{clr|3|214M}} serves as his standard meterless combo ender. On block can be used to test your opponent's willingness to mash after {{clr|1|214L}} lest they risk a counter hit {{clr|3|214M}}.
;L Version
* '''M Version''': Gran dashes forward with his foot out. Covers a lot of horizontal space in front of him. Punishable on hit after his autocombo. Safety ranges depending on the range used. At point blank, Gran is punishable. However at farther lengths it can be spaced out to be safe and even plus at the very tip of Gran's boot. On counter hit it causes a wall bounce in the corner allowing for additional follows up.  
* Has a follow-up version of 214M that knocks down.

On hit, {{clr|1|214L}} > {{clr|2|214M}} serves as his standard meterless combo ender. On block can be used to test your opponent's willingness to mash after {{clr|1|214L}} lest they risk a Counter Hit {{clr|2|214M}}. As of 2.0 Patch follow-up causes no Wall Bounce on Counter Hit, only knocks down.
* '''H Version''': Similar to {{clr|3|214M}}, but Gran dashes forward faster. Cannot be canceled into from {{clr|1|214L}}. Causes a wall bounce in the corner on hit regardless of counter hit, allowing for additional follow ups. Exercise caution as depending on the opponent's height when used, it can cause them to fall behind Gran after the wall bounce, possibly causing a side switch with yourself in the corner.  
----
;M Version
* Does not knock down.
Gran dashes forward with his foot out. Covers a lot of horizontal space in front of him. Minus on hit, so 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 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 and the reduced hitbox and increased hurtbox with weak reward on hit makes it in the current meta a very mediocre move.
----
;H Version
* Wallbounces in the corner.
* Gran's primary juggle starter.
Similar to {{clr|2|214M}}, but Gran dashes forward faster. Cannot be canceled into from {{clr|1|214L}}. Causes a wall bounce in the corner on hit regardless of counter hit, allowing for additional follow ups. Exercise caution as depending on the opponent's height when used, it can cause them to fall behind Gran after the wall bounce, possibly causing a side switch with yourself in the corner.

Gran charges and throws out an invulnerable projectile move. It can travel across the screen, however if used at point blank it will be followed by a massive blast by the summoned Proto Bahamut. Deals a lot of chip damage on block which can setup for a chip kill afterwards. This move is safe on block, but can be rolled or spot dodged on reaction.

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 and get rewarding punishes.

 Gran  Gran is a well-rounded character with many solid tools.

Pros
Cons
  • Simple moveset: Gran's tools as the designated Ken are well rounded and strong.
  • Damage: Average Midscreen damage, but devastating Corner Damage.
  • Good fireball game: projectiles and strong normals allow him to play effectively at any range.
  • Rising Sword is both a strong anti-air and an invulnerable move for escaping pressure.
  • H Reginleiv is plus on block and has very little pushback, making it a very powerful pressure tool.
  • Level 5 Power Raise is an amazing frame trap, thanks to its invincibility.
  • His far-reaching normals are highly committal due to some of them being negative on block.
  • Gets little to no reward from long range pokes without committing to 214X.
  • Getting Power Raise to Level 4 requires the player to be properly positioned due to its long startup and may require sacrificing oki on a knockdown.

Auto Combo

Version Damage GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead. StartupShows how many frame that the corresponding move needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. ActiveShows how many frames where there is a hurtbox, AKA the hitbox where if the opponent touches it, he/she will take damage. Occurs after Startup. RecoveryShows how many frames that the character must go through after its active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance. On BlockThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Throws list the amount of Frame Advantage upon successfully throwing the opponent. On Hit Invuln
c.XX 350 Mid 9 3 15 -3 +1
c.XXX 350 Mid 12 4 17 -4 0

Despite being airborne, the second hit can be canceled into grounded attacks on the first few active frames. On clash, Gran can delay his button to get c.XX > j.L, but this is slower than c.XX > c.XXX.

Because of his speed, the second hit of Gran's autocombo can also be used as a soft reset point. While pausing here isn't safe, you are left close enough to your opponent to go into a low, throw, or overhead mixup if you're willing to take the risk that your opponent is mashing here or buffering DP. You can also use this point in the autocombo to stop and block(to bait a DP) or insert your own DP here to punish mashers. Against stronger or more paitent players, this point can also be used to transition into 2L pressure.

1000 Mid 10 6 24 -13 -9

Really strong anti-air with a good hitbox in front and behind Gran, allowing him to beat out opponents jumping behind him. On CH, whiff 214L>2H>214M is a good damage combo with great corner carry, but when they're closer to the ground/to you you'll need to go for an alternate route. As of 2.0 Patch the increased start-up and the nerfs to many of Gran's other moves have made many corner combos unreliable at best or impossible to do. Notably corner 2H>5U is not only harder to go into but can't loop into itself reliably anymore.

On Hit Invuln
1000/1200/1400/1600/2000 Mid 20 9 13 -5

A chargable slash attack. Can be charged up to four levels and gains invulnerability at level four. Each level will also increase in damage and range.

Charge can be cancelled with L/M/H/G. Level is stored and resumes charging from the same level when using 5U again. Gran will auto cancel charge after Level 4, and once he's at Level 4, he can still delay the attack by holding 5U or cancel it like normal.

On normal hit at Level 2 it will cause a wallbounce in the corner allowing for combo extensions. On counter hit all versions will wallbounce on hit in the corner.

The knockback at Level 4 can wallbounce midscreen  

It's also a decent pressure tool as it's -2 on block when spaced at the tip and also pulls Gran's hurtbox back a bit.

Can be used in some corner combos if an opponent is high enough after 2H.

1500 Throw 7 3 31 HKD

Forward throw knocks opponent far away, but untech time is long enough so you can run in for a meaty or jump in. Great for driving your opponent towards the corner.

Back throw switches sides. Useful if you want to stick close to your opponent after as you will recover closer up than if you were to forward throw.

Between buttons such as c.L, 2L, c.M, and 2M, throw is a particularly strong mix-up option for Gran as it offers many tick throw opportunities. Gran's ability to convert the opponent's whiffed throw techs into enormous damage also serves to make his throw mix up game all the more scary.

Projectile. Gran's traditional fireball.


L Fireball
  • Standard fireball.

Travels fairly fast and across the screen. Serves as a safe ender for his block strings and pokes.


M Fireball
  • Gran slashes upward before shooting out a projectile.
  • First slash cancels out projectiles.

Useful to turn projectile wars more in your favor as you can cancel out incoming projectiles with the upward slash before throwing out a projectile of your own. Also is helpful in throwing off your opponent's timing when trying to dodge 236L. Serves as a better blockstring ender than 236L, and as of the 2.0 Patch there's no Gap in-between the two hits.


H Fireball
  • 3-hit fireball.
  • Hard knockdown on airhit.

A grown man 3-hit fireball. As of the 2.0 Patch H Reginleiv does NOT knockdown, but instead leaves them standing. Depending on distance and the state of the opponent, it allows for combos afterwards. At least +7 on hit, allowing for follow-ups even midscreen provided that the opponent is close enough to be hit. Primarily a combo and pressure tool, as it has lost a lot of its neutral prowess due to the nerf. Worth throwing out when applying pressure in the corner, however. 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.


L DP
  • Invincible reversal.

Air unblockable during the early active frames. Technically the least unsafe on block and can be difficult to punish at far ranges due to the pushback and shorter recovery than the other versions, but don't count on it. As of 2.0 Patch L version is slower and has increased Recovery, making it much easier punish.


M DP
  • Also an invincible reversal.

Standard non-H combo ender for damage. Also air unblockable during the early active frames.


H DP
  • Oops, all reversals.

Double the uppercuts. Hard knockdown. There is a small gap in-between the two strikes. The entire first strike is air unblockable, however invincibility wears off before the second strike.

214H 1200 Mid 13 13 12 +4 to -8 HKD

Gran's advancing move.


L Version
  • Has a follow-up version of 214M that knocks down.

Gran dashes forward with a slash. Safest version of 214X at point blank. Can cancel into 214M on hit or block. On hit, 214L > 214M serves as his standard meterless combo ender. On block can be used to test your opponent's willingness to mash after 214L lest they risk a Counter Hit 214M. As of 2.0 Patch follow-up causes no Wall Bounce on Counter Hit, only knocks down.


M Version
  • Does not knock down.

Gran dashes forward with his foot out. Covers a lot of horizontal space in front of him. Minus on hit, so 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 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 and the reduced hitbox and increased hurtbox with weak reward on hit makes it in the current meta a very mediocre move.


H Version
  • Wallbounces in the corner.
  • Gran's primary juggle starter.

Similar to 214M, but Gran dashes forward faster. Cannot be canceled into from 214L. Causes a wall bounce in the corner on hit regardless of counter hit, allowing for additional follow ups. Exercise caution as depending on the opponent's height when used, it can cause them to fall behind Gran after the wall bounce, possibly causing a side switch with yourself in the corner.
