A '''pummel''' is the attack usable while an opponent remains trapped in the player's [[grab]]. Any character can pummel by pressing the attack or grab buttons after a successful grab. Since that character will already be holding the other using their arms, most pummels are knee jabs or head butts, which tend to cause around 1-3% damage. Pummeling is primarily used to rack up extra damage before a throw, and in ''Brawl'', to restore more critical moves from [[stale-move negation]] while chaingrabbing. The higher an opponent's [[damage]], the longer one can pummel before they're able to [[Button mashing|break free]] from the grab. If not executed swiftly, an adept fighter may escape before even a single blow is landed. Pummeling was first introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It can be performed much more quickly in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and most usually have a specific rhythm that affects its speed. | A '''pummel''' is the attack usable while an opponent remains trapped in the player's [[grab]].
