Grapple canceling
Grapple canceling is a technique available to Samus, Link, Toon Link, and Lucas (the characters whose grabs are grapples) in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The technique allows a midair grapple to be canceled, with no landing lag. Execution[edit]The easiest way to grapple cancel is to short hop, then press the grab button on the way down. If the character has a midair grapple move, it will extend quickly, lightly damaging those who touch it. Upon landing, there will be no lag, and any other move can be performed immediately. Uses[edit]Grapple canceling is most useful with Samus, as her aerial Grapple Beam ("zair") comes out quickly, has a long range, and has decent stun time on it. Samus can also short hop a Homing Missile and start her zair upon completion of the Homing Missile, canceling when it hits the ground. This technique is useful for pressuring, approaching, and stopping approaches. External links[edit] |
