| | Performed by [[Jump cancel]]ling a run or dash, and pressing Z or L/R and the A button. The character performs the standing grab animation while sliding forward slightly (depending on traction). For most characters, JC'd grabs have less startup and/or cooldown lag than standard dash-grabs. |

| A '''jump-canceled grab''' (or '''JC'd grab''') is a technique in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' where a character [[interrupt]]s a [[dash]] or run with a [[jump]], which itself is then [[jump-cancel]]ed with a [[grab]] during the [[jumpsquat]] animation. This results in the character using their standing grab while maintaining some momentum from their dash, the amount of which is based on their current speed and [[traction]].
| | Jump-Cancelled grabs have slightly larger hitboxes than standard (though still smaller than actual dash-) grabs, and are primarily used in [[chain-grab]]s (though not in Peach's chaingrab). |

| Jump-canceled grabs are used for two main reasons. Firstly, essentially all characters' [[dash grab]]s are much slower and laggier in comparison to their standing grabs; being able to use a standing grab while still keeping some forward movement therefore results in a much faster and safer grab. Secondly, the forward movement effectively increases the range of the grab compared to a stationary grab, making it easier to keep opponents in [[chaingrab]]s with throws of forward trajectory (such as {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}'s [[down throw]]) or involving enemy [[DI]] (such as {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s [[up throw]]).
| | Abbreviated JC'd grab. |
| | |
| This technique is not possible in other games, as grabs cannot be used out of a jumpsquat in them. However, dash grabs in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' are generally faster and more reliable than in ''Melee'', while the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' allows characters to use their regular grab directly out of a dash or run, due to the lack of dash grabs in said game.
