'''Grapple Canceling''' is a technique available to [[Samus]] and several other characters in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. The basis of it is the fact that midair Grapples are immediately canceled with no lag upon landing. | |||
'''Grapple Canceling''' is a technique available | |||
==Execution== | |||
The easiest way to use the Grapple Cancel is to short-hop. On the way down from the short-hop, press Z (or the equivilent Grab Button on a non-Gamecube Controller). If the character has a midair grapple move, it will extend quickly. Upon landing, there will be no lag, and any other move can be performed immediately. | |||
==Uses== | |||
This is most useful with [[Samus (SSBB)|Samus]], as her midair grapple (also known as a ''Z Aerial'' or ''Zair'') comes out quickly, has a long range, and has decent stun time on it. Samus can even short hop a Homing Missile and start her Zair upon completion of the Homing Missile, canceling when it hits the ground. This technique is great for pressuring, approaching, and stopping approaches. | |||
As of yet, no other character has been found to have a Grapple Cancel quite as useful as Samus's. | |||
==Characters Capable of Performing== | |||
The Grapple Cancel can be performed by any character with a Midair Grapple. | |||
*[[Samus (SSBB)|Samus]] | |||
*[[Link (SSBB)|Link]] | |||
*[[Toon Link (SSBB)|Toon Link]] | |||
*[[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]] | |||
However, Lucas's Midair Grapple cannot deal damage and only serves to grab the edge, making his Grapple Cancel ineffective. | |||
