Captain Falcon (SSBB)/Grab

Overview

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Reaches forward with his right hand. While a tall stature might be compensated with a long grab range, here, Captain Falcon’s grab range is very short (the second shortest, behind Ganondorf,) while his pivot grab has absurdly slow startup for a non-tether pivot grab (the slowest to be precise). However, he can grab release characters such as Wario and Ness. By taking advantage of their unusual grab release animations, Falcon can follow up with a forward air (kill percentages) or up air (racking up damage).
