The '''Decagrab''' is an advanced technique in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. This techniques is exclusive to characters with a [[tether grab]], namely {{SSBM|Samus}}, {{SSBM|Link}} and {{SSBM|Young Link}}, that allows them to greatly extend their grab range.
''Young Link (and other tether characters) can boost grab farther into their dash attack due to boost grab shift. Once the grapple disappears, the boost grab window is shifted relative to the current frame. Grapple should be canceled very early in the animation so it returns later.''


==Overview==
''Normal boost grab window is frame 2-4 of dash attack, so the grapple must not disappear until frame 5+ of your dash attack in order to get the hitbox out and still be able to get the grab.''
All tether grabs can be performed while airborne with a standard hitbox, known colloquially as a [[Zair]] attack. To perform a decagrab, the landing lag of a Zair needs to be canceled, followed immediately by a a [[dash attack]] while holding any grab input (Z, R + A, L + A). If done correctly, the dash attack will be canceled into a grab after the tether despawns with most of the momentum being maintained, significantly extending how far the tether grab reaches.
 
There are several ways to cancel landing lag, such as slipping off of an [[edge]] or being interrupted by an item. For Link and Young Link, the [[Boomerang]] is commonly used to to cancel landing lag, though it requires precise timing and some situational awareness.
