Best way to avoid Grand Lethal?

[Longfellow]

Some of you may be wondering, why Grand Lethal of all things and I would be happy to answer. First of all, I get that to avoid Grand Lethal one must be in a fair distance from the opponent, but it's not as simple. There are some really good Zidane mainers online and they know when to hit it. I tried my best to avoid it by dodging on the ground in all ways, by jumping over him, by dashing away, but either the way of the dodge is too slow or he follows me in striking precision if too close. I could really use some advice on how to get away from it in a bind.

[Speedy07]

actually dashing away should do the trick for you, just do it as soon as he says "you're not getting away!", and If you are zidane, I think "Free Energy" should stop it.

The only way I've seen it " hard to dodge is if you get rushed to the ground, and if that's the case just ExGuard.

[SilvaKairi]

its kinda hard if the person knows when to use it, wat i might do is either exguard, or multi slide(the one where you have to jump to highest point, then you dash)

[Proximately]

I suggest blocking it with another HP attack. As long as you're able to pull it off before he's started lunging at you it should be possible. Gotta' be melee though.

RDC as soon as Zidane reaches you during the "tracking" of the attack (make sure you have Evasion Time Boost equipped). This will "sink" your character below Zidane, as well as having enough invincibility frames of your dodge. Most of the time, Grand Lethal's hit frames will end before your dodge frames end.

It doesn't have much of a range, so unless they are particularly close to you, either interupt them with a quick bravery attack, or just dash and dodge.

[ZeRo_oVerLoaD]

TDC works very well against it... putting you behind Zidane and punish with Sneak.
I'm a TDC lover you know... :D

If you're in the ground, do a quick hop > TDC.

the best IMo is dodging backwards. it doesn't have that much horizontal tracking but homing has tremendous tracking sideways....

[533787655464]

It has vertical and horizontal tracking, to be exact, so you can't do a forward dodge, or a side dodge

[Spike]

^that's why you need to dodge backwards because it's forward tracking is not very good. A forward dodge and side dodge will get you because of its tremendou side tracking.

Sometimes, if he gets too close to me from a 30 - 90 degree angle, I dodge forward and sometimes, it works.

[533787655464]

Dodging over will just get you killed..... It doesn't matter what angle you are, it always points to you

[Spike]

practice dodging backward with it and you will almost always not be hit with GL you know (only in very tight places where it will hit you)..

[Kite]

or just use a decently quick character and run =P it works alot better than dodging. Hell, even falling sometimes if your character can fall quick enough

true but people who main zidane doesn't use GL in those situations where they can be easily avoided... They're quite picky in using this...

[Kite]

Ive never had a hard time avoiding it regardless of the situation placed really =/

[Spike]

Yeah but as I said, Zidane players are quite picky so in a sense, veteran players will rarely use it, but they will use it when they are almost 90% sure they will hit...

[Kite]

no, veterans dont even have it equipped

[Spike]

Yeah well I know dave doesn't use it, but everyone?

[Kite]

name all the top zidanes you can think of

The only Zidanes I find worth mentioning are Ehx and Dave, both of whom dont equip it

Is that so? Is shine not one of them? I think he is also good. But I don't see him use it also...

[Kite]

Shine is a golbez main......

[Spike]

Shine is a golbez main......

Is that so? Aw man... I thought he mains Zidane..

[ShineThatLight]

Nope, i main Golbez
Although Zidane used to be my main, and i still use him from time to time, i am halfway decent (but who with Zidane isn't)

I also regularly play nearly every character. So i kinda acquired knowledge for all of them :P

Wow that's awesome though my bad when I thought you main Zidane...

[ShineThatLight]

Nope, but it is a badass avi isn't it? haha
Also, for the record i don't have Grand Lethal equipped

[Spike]

You too? Man, maybe I need to remove it also... But it helps me sometimes (but not all the time...)

[funkyman02]

I have Grand Lethal equipped, but that is because my Zidane says "Fuck it" to links and prioritizes off of Wall Crashes. I'm probably the last person to take notice to since other play Zidane the "right way."

Well since you said it funky, I think I might agree with your "Fuck it!" and put it on if it helps me. Man you're awesome! :D

[Kite]

but funky says fuck it to all the common character stereotypes, hes just funky enough to do so
