*'''Pivot grab''' (known as '''CatchTurn''' internally), introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', which is used by grabbing immediately after a [[pivot]]. This results in the character turning around and performing a grab with even longer range than the other grab types, allowing it to be used as an [[approach]] mixup. Pivot grabs tend to have more startup than both standing and dash grabs, and more ending lag than standing grabs but less than dash grabs. | *'''Pivot grab''' (known as '''CatchTurn''' internally), introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Upon a successful grab, the opponent is immobilized for a certain period, and the grabbing character has access to five possible attacks: a [[pummel]] by pressing an attack or grab button (except in ''Smash 64''), which racks up [[damage]] while keeping the opponent grabbed, or any of four [[throw]]s ([[forward throw|forward]], [[back throw|back]], [[up throw|up]], or [[down throw|down]]; only forward and back in ''Smash 64'') by tilting the [[control stick]] in the respective direction, which [[Knockback|launches]] the opponent and ends the grab. Characters can only be grabbed for a certain period of time, after which they break free in a phenomenon known as a [[grab release]], so the idea is that the grabber can throw them before this happens. This grab period is extended as the victim's [[damage]] percentage increases, but can be decreased by [[button mashing]] from their part. | ||
Several [[special moves]] are similarly able to grab and then throw opponents, which are similarly unblockable and put opponents in a unique state compared to normal grabs. These types of attacks are often referred to as '''command grabs'''. | Several [[special moves]] are similarly able to grab and then throw opponents, which are similarly unblockable and put opponents in a unique state compared to normal grabs.
