In all games, most characters cannot be grabbed by less central parts of their bodies, such as lower arms, legs, or tails, which can lead to some unusual results against characters with extreme proportions. This varies depending on character; for instance, in ''Melee'', all of Kirby's hurtboxes can be grabbed, but only Jigglypuff's body is grabbable, while its hands, feet and hair curl are not<ref>https://twitter.com/UnclePunch_/status/1166922159542980608</ref>. From ''Brawl'' onward, ungrabbable limbs tend to be only arms, with a few exceptions. Furthermore, from ''Brawl'' onward, characters cannot grab opponents behind them, even if the grab [[hitbox]]es connect with a grabbable part of their body that extends in front of them; this is unlike in ''Melee'', where not only this is possible, but certain dash grabs have some grabboxes intentionally placed behind the user. | In all games, most characters cannot be grabbed by less central parts of their bodies, such as lower arms, legs, or tails, which can lead to some unusual results against characters with extreme proportions.

Lastly, Mr. Game & Watch's arms and hands possess ungrabbability from ''Brawl'' to ''Ultimate''. | ||
A particular character can grab only one opponent at once, and similarly, neither the user nor the victim can be grabbed by another character before the grab ends. Prior to ''Ultimate'', the [[Ice Climbers]] are able to grab two opponents at once, with each climber grabbing one opponent. In ''Melee'', Nana becomes [[CPU]]-controlled when grabbing an opponent, whereas in ''Brawl'', she can be controlled by the player during the grab, enabling [[zero-to-death combo]]s as each Ice Climber regrabs the opponent immediately after the partner's throw. In ''Ultimate'', Nana cannot grab at all, nor act while Popo is grabbing and throwing an opponent. | A particular character can grab only one opponent at once, and similarly, neither the user nor the victim can be grabbed by another character before the grab ends.

*In ''Melee'', characters hanging on [[ledge]]s cannot be grabbed, but in every other game they can. This can be done if a certain character's grab animation is low enough to be able to grab a character hanging from a ledge if the latter character's head is above the ledge. An example video for ''SSB4'' can be seen [https://youtube.com/watch?v=n1bnkhmTbgI here].

*Grabs are the only non-special moves to not cause the player's controller to [[rumble]] (should the feature be turned on) when used, only doing so if the grab connects with an opponent. | *Grabs are the only non-special moves to not cause the player's controller to [[rumble]] (should the feature be turned on) when used, only doing so if the grab connects with an opponent. | ||
*Previously in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', [[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s grab was one of the [[reach|shortest-reaching]] in the game, and it possessed below-average [[range]]. In ''Ultimate'', Mr. Game & Watch sported an incredibly disjointed range in his [[dash grab|dashing]] and [[pivot grab]]; even larger than most of the playable roster. Due to this unique property, Mr. Game & Watch's grab is one of the longest in the game (but his standing grab possesses poor range for a favorable disjoint). | |||
