A team wobble is when two players on a team continuously grab a single opponent just as they escape from the other's grab (or throw). Two players stand on each side of their target, with one grabbing and pummelling, the other waiting to catch the opponent when they manage to escape; they then trade duties and repeat.

As long as both players grab correctly, this is a team infinite.

Team wobbling examples
In Super Smash Bros.
It is difficult to team wobble in Super Smash Bros., as pummels do not exist and grabs cannot be escaped without a throw. However, Donkey Kong is able to cargo release into another DK grabbing, and with correct timing, certain characters can regrab repeatedly by using a forward throw in place of a grab release, including Captain Falcon and Ness.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
This technique is usually used at the end of doubles matches. Characters with quick grabs and pummels such as Fox, Ganondorf, and Marth are usually seen doing this. The beginning of the Wombo Combo, for example, involves Captain Falcon and Fox grab releasing another Fox.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Team wobbling is much more common in Brawl as it is possible to grab release characters easily. However, the throwers must be careful to not unnecessarily tap and risk a trip. It is also possible to use King Dedede's chain grab to down throw into one another.
