Grab airs inflict little damage and have very little KO potential. However, they have long range, and can be used to surprise an opponent. A [[short hop]] followed by a grab air can be useful for [[spacing]]. They are also considerably more useful in ''Brawl'' and ''[[Smash 4]]'' than in ''[[Melee]]'' due to their lack of ending lag, the absence of [[L-canceling]] and the existence (only in ''Brawl'') of the [[landing lag glitch]] which affects other attacks. In all three games, characters with it can cancel an [[air dodge]] with zair, which in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', allows one to zair or tether recovery without dropping a held [[item]]. Another difference between ''Melee'' and the other two games is that zairs do not cause a character to go into a [[helpless]] state in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', allowing for repeated usage more easily, as well as being able to safely use the move off of the stage. | Grab airs inflict little damage and have very little KO potential.

In ''Smash 4'', all zairs have 8 frames of landing lag. If they are used by pressing a shield and attack button at the same time, however, they will instead have the landing lag of an air dodge (which lasts 21 frames); as such, using zairs to cancel air dodges is riskier close to the ground. | In ''Smash 4'', all zairs have 8 frames of landing lag.
