Pivot grab

King Dedede using a pivot grab.

A pivot grab (ふりむきつかみ Furimuki tsukami, Turned-around grab) is a type of grab that any 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 longer reach than 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 generally have less ending lag than a character's dash grab, such as Yoshi's. Other pivot grabs that have noticeably less ending lag than the character's standing and dash grab include Lucas' and Ivysaur's.
