**Grandma Gertie** is a playable character in *Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2*, originating from Hey Arnold!. She was revealed by Comicbook.com on September 18th, 2023.

## Moveset

### Playstyle

Gertie is a mix-up bruiser character, focusing on dealing massive damage and using her unpredictable Gift Bag to overwhelm opponents. However, she has a buggy recovery and most of her moves are slow and risky.

### Light Attacks

* Spinning Yarn (Neutral Grounded): Gertie rapidly knits with sewing needles, with the finishing hit being a green sweater.
* Chopping Knife (Side Grounded): A forwards chop.
* Axe Kick (Up Grounded): Swings her leg downward. This move can spike.
* Sweep (Down Grounded): Sweeps the floor. Dashes Gertie forward a small distance.
* Twister (Neutral Aerial): Does a frenzy of kicks and punches all around her. Hits multiple times.
* The Knee (Forward Aerial): Thrusts her knee into the opponent. If connected properly, this move does massive knockback, but has a very bad sourspot.
* Frying Pain (Back Aerial): Swings a frying pan backwards.
* Head Smash (Up Aerial): Headbutts upward.
* Cleaning House (Down Aerial): Sweeps in a circle. Hits multiple times.

### Strong Attacks

* Home run (Side Grounded): Swings a halberd forward. Very good range.
* For the Empire (Up Grounded): Swings a halberd upward. Very good range.
* Kickulator (Down Grounded): Does a spinning kick on the ground.
* Flying Kick (Side Aerial): Does a flying kick. Gives her a horizontal and slight vertical boost.
* Rebellion (Up Aerial): Screams in a megaphone. Mostly diagonal hitbox.
* Freedom Swing (Down Aerial): Swings on a grappling hook like a vine. Great horizontal movement option.

### Special Attacks

* Calamity Strike (Neutral): A chargeable attack. The more you charge, the more damage and knockback it does. This uppercut is extremely powerful when fully charged, possibly the most powerful attack in the game. Shielding mid-charge will save the charge of this move.
	+ Slime Version: Charges instantly and rises higher.
* Blitz (Side): Gertie punches forward a set distance. Can be used as recovery. The move is strong on it's own, but slime cancelling makes it extremely powerful for combos.
	+ Slime Version:
* Getting Hooked (Up): Gertie throws a grappling hook upward. A tether recovery.
	+ Slime Version: Includes a small jump to increase height.
* Christmas Gift (Down): Gertie pulls a random gift from her gift bag. Each item has unique effects. Piano is the strongest, flying up before crashing down the size of 3/4 the stage, but can also hit Gertie. There are 16 items total, and only one can be on stage at a time. If she tries to throw another item, she throws paper, which does nothing.
	+ Slime Version: Allows Gertie to spawn an item even if there is already one on the stage.

### Throws

* Forward Throw: Gertie slams pancakes in the opponent's face.
* Back Throw: Gertie puts the opponents in a pot and does a German Suplex on them.
* Up Throw: Gertie "flips" the opponent three times with a frying pan.
* Down Throw: Gertie stirs the opponent in a pot, launching them upward.

### Other

* Take the Shoe! (Dash Attack): Does a dashing kick.
* **Super Attack**: Gertie sparks two wires together, causing a train to ram into the opponent, with Gertie finishing in a pose.
