Gameplay Overview
Grant is a beast. His attacks do large amounts of damage, his stamina is tied with Tizoc as the highest, his kick super is one of the best in the game, and a single mistake from the opponent can all but seal the round for Grant.
With that said, Grant has his drawbacks. Many of his normals are almost useless, leaving him very open to counter attack if used improperly. None of Grant's ground based normals can be canceled (d+AB evasion attack is the only exception), meaning every single ground combo must be a link or a juggle. Grant cannot feint cancel any of his normal moves what so ever. The only reliable anti-air Grant has from the ground is a punch super, meaning Grant relies very heavily on meter. If you have the patience to turtle, and don't mind having a very limited toolset of options at any time, Grant can be a great character to play. Grant can also be a great rushdown character as well, since he has a very quick dash to help him get in on opponents a lot quicker.

T.O.P. Notes
Grant's TOP attack is pretty strong. For some characters, two blocked TOP attacks will Guard Crush. His TOP attack hits up to 3 times. Overall, his TOP attack is a great poke for once in a while, can even work as a anti-air at times. Just remember to use it wisely and don't become predictable with it.
Grant's reliance on meter and his turtling playstyle benefit greatly from being in TOP. Placing the TOP at the beginning of his lifebar is the best choice.
