44A LH - 3B - SA6 (74 dmg)

I never thought a Soul Attack video could have me jamming and bopping my head. The grabs into SA force blocks were dope!!! Very informative video, awesome music and great editing too!

[@NorthDelhiFighter]

What an awesome vid wiyh tracks.

[@less-than-lee]

I don't even play groh and I found this entertaining and informative 👍

[@SlagBro]

Great video man! I just got into the game recently and your videos have helped a lot. No matter what the tier lists say, Groh is a fun character to play.

[@zachfriedman92]

Nice music and editing. Just wanted to add that 44A > SA6 may be another force block, since normal +10 situations seem to make most i16 unsteppable, and +8 with opponent BT is arguably better.

[@Solioxrz362]

It's close to a forceblock - you can only step in one direction or Soul Charge out. So you could use it in that situation and probably get them to block or eat the hit.

[@khknight]

Oh wow i just recognized your name, im pretty sure i played you back in nov 2018. I think ive even messaged you on ps4, thanking you for dropping a spot in the ranks so i could take the top 20 spot lol. Small world. Great video bro, definitely helped me jump back into the game after taking a near 2 year break.

[@Solioxrz362]

TBH I can't remember anything from the game that long ago, but glad you're back in the scene! It's a much different game after all the updates, feel free to hmu for some more games if you want.

[@andyroosc3426]

Awesome video homie! Skeleton heads for dead traps was genius xD

[@lw575]

Awesome video ! Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, in my opinion, Groh is still in bottom tier due to the mid risk and slightly low reward comparing to other characters, so he definitely needs some buffs. And I wish your video can promote the tier on Groh because the video really contains some deadly sick set-ups and combos. GOOD JOB !

[@JarlSwagDog]

nicely done.

[@Aleister916]

Sweet job

[@MultiModio]

Can you upload a combo video? Normal, lethal hit etc. Please.

[@cubanknightmare4126]

Most of these arent follow by 8 B+K why?

[@SiebeSC]

Hi do you still play today? And if yes do you play on PS and if yes would you like to play sometime? I just started playing Grøh

[@Solioxrz362]

I do, add me on discord Solio#5618 and we'll find a time

[@SiebeSC]

@@Solioxrz362 I added you :p I’m Siebe
