-The '''grab release glitch''' is a [[glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' that deprives certain [[character]]s of their [[recovery]] move if they have used it and are released from a [[grab]] without touching the ground or [[flinching]]. The opponent also cannot be [[pummel]]ed before the grab release ends or this glitch will not work. The glitch is a result of the programming, which used to allow these characters to act after using their [[up special move]] instead of becoming [[helpless]].

+The '''grab release glitch''' is a [[glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' that deprives certain [[character]]s of their [[recovery]] move if they have used it and are released from a [[grab]] without touching the ground or [[flinching]]. As a result, grabbing and releasing the character without [[pummel]]ling or [[throw]]ing will leave them with no recovery move, effectively guaranteeing a KO if they've already used their double jump.
-In competitive play, the grab release glitch is a viable [[edge guard]]ing tactic against these characters, most notably against {{SSBB|Snake}}, who must time a precise [[C4]] explosion on himself to recover after being grabbed out of [[Cypher]].
+The glitch occurs because of the behaviour of each character's [[up special move]]. Most characters regain their up special move when they exit their [[helpless]] state in any way. But for characters that do not become helpless upon using their up special move, the restoration has to be done in a more case-by-case way. The glitch is a result of the situation "grabbed and released without being pummeled, being thrown, or landing" not being recognized as a way to interrupt recoveries, and so was not coded to restore recoveries in such situations.
+In competitive play, the grab release glitch is a viable [[edge-guarding]] tactic against these characters, most notably against {{SSBB|Snake}} in ''Brawl'', who must use [[C4]] as a [[bomb recovery]] after being grabbed out of [[Cypher]]. As a result, characters must be careful when recovering low or aiming for the edge, as a single grab against a wary opponent will instantly [[gimp]] them.
