TM2 Grimm is another one of my favorite Grimms. Unfortunately, TM1 is the only time Grimm was a truly good car, and he's particularly punishing in TM2.

I mentioned with Axel that the most efficient and consistently powerful way to kill someone is freezing someone and ramming them for major damage. Grimm is probably the worst car in the game for the freeze ram meta. His fantastic turning allows him to aim and avoid also owed to his small frame) freezes easier than many cars. However, his special weapon isn't consistently good at helping him land a freeze, especially since he cannot ram worth a damn, so he relies on his special or other powerful weapons for worthwhile freeze combos. And if he gets frozen? He gets utterly crippled or dies, simple as. And given that Grimm often has to get close to land his special a little more reliably, the risk vs reward is almost never in Grimm's favor.

All this, coupled with the fact that he has 15 fewer HP than in TM1, his special takes more than twice as long to regen (as well as being 2nd slowest regen in the game), most other cars are generally more beefy, and the fact that maps are much less flat in TM2... All of this means he is MUCH further limited and far more inconsistent and difficult to use.

But at the end of the day, as I said before; I love Mr. Grimm so much, and I love him in every game. I don't even care that he's a bad car, he's just so fun and will always be satisfying to find success with.

Played on Hard difficulty. Trying to go deathless.
