Boost grab: Difference between revisions

'''Boost grabbing''' is a [[technique]] in which the momentum from a character's [[dash attack]] is transferred into a dash [[grab]]. The result is a longer ranged dash grab, which is most noticeable with [[Sheik]] (whose dash grab [[range]] is nearly tripled) and [[Fox (SSBM)|Fox]] while in ''Brawl'', it is notable with Snake which he is required to use to regrab certain characters when they roll away from his dthrow and also required to regrab characters like Falco out of grab release. Discovered in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the boost grab is a very quick and useful form of [[dash attack canceling]]. By completely canceling the dash attack, the user suffers far less [[lag]]. This move is more useful than a dash attack if the player wants to prevent themself from getting hit. Although this attack looks useless, leading the player to think that he/she can just press Z to save time, the Boost Grab is a very good [[Mindgame]].
