A '''Pivot Grab''' is a type of [[grab]] that a character can use. While [[dash]]ing, a character can pivot in the other direction, but at that exact same moment of pivoting, the player can press the grab button. This results in a grab that has a longer reach then most normal grabs. The Pivot Grab can help grab opponents that constantly roll behind opponents that are [[dash]]ing.

A Pivot Grab is a type of grab that a character can use. While dashing, a character can pivot in the other direction, but at that exact same moment of pivoting, the player can press the grab button. This results in a grab that has a longer reach then most normal grabs, with an invisible grab box for most characters. The Pivot Grab can help grab opponents that constantly roll behind opponents that are dashing, and is useful as well as if a character predicts an unsafe approach.

Pivot Grabs are generally faster (in cooldown) than a character's running grab, some exceptions that are faster than standing grab include Yoshi's one. Other Pivot Grabs that are significantly faster than "regular" grabs in cooldown include Lucas' and Ivysaur's.
