Samus' extended grapple is a technique in Super Smash Bros. Melee that allows Samus to extend her grab attack.
[edit] Application
Samus can extend the length of her grappling beam if her controller presses Z, then up, down, and up on the control pad, then Z again. This combo must be inputted between frames 8-39 of the grab (the part of the grab before the grapple becomes visible). Samus' grapple will extend to approximately 3 times its normal length. It can also home onto opponents by pressing L when she pulls it out. However, opposed to the normal grappling beam, one needs to press A or Z when the tip of the beam is over the enemy in order to grab their opponent.
Samus is not able to perform this technique in the PAL version of SSBM.
