Team wobble

Team Wobble refers to a team of competitive players grab releasing or chain grabbing an opponent into one another. As long as both players grab correctly, this is a team infinite. Team wobbling is usually seen in brawl due to grab releases being efficient when teams become 2v1's. Two players stand on each side of their target, and use their grab and Pummel, constantly pressing the grab button (or the attack button to grab out of the shield, which is easier to use) to catch the opponent when they manage to escape from the other player's grab to continues to pummel. Although all characters can preform this, some characters with superior grabs (like Olimar) are better at the Team Wobble than other characters with slow or short grabs, such as (Bowser or Pikachu).

Although difficult, it is possible to escape this, as characters will sometimes randomly shoot into the air when they escape. This technique can be preformed with two players on a team, or two opposing players working together (although they must be sure not to get hit by each other's pummel). Because of Stale-Move Negation, this strategy takes a large amount of time to build up notable damage, so is mostly use for stalling the game, or annoying the other player.


Team Wobbling Examples

Smash 64

It is difficult to team wobble in smash 64 due to being forced to throw and the fact that there is no pummel in smash 64. However, DK is able to cargo release into another DK grabbing and with correct timing, 2 falcons can regrab into another grab.

Melee

This technique is usually at the end of doubles matches. Characters with quick grabs/pummels such as Fox, Ganondorf, and Marth are usually seen doing this. The beginning of the Wombo Combo is falcon and fox grab releasing the opponent. Video demonstating of Team wobbling in melee between a ganondorf and a falcon: [1]

Brawl

Team wobbling is much more common in brawl as you can grab release characters easily. However, it is possible for the grab release to mess up due to Prat Falling as seen here: [2] (warning, strong language). It is also possible to use D3's chain grab to down throw into one another.
