'''Extended Grapple''', also known as '''The Extender''', is a technique in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that allows Samus to extend the length of her [[grab]]. It was removed in the [[PAL]] [[List of regional version differences (SSBM)|version of ''Melee'']].
'''Samus' extended grapple''' is a technique in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that allows Samus to extend her grab attack.

{{SSBM|Samus}} can extend the length of her Grapple Beam if the player presses {{Button|GCN|Z}}, then {{Button|GCN|D-Pad|U}}, {{Button|GCN|D-Pad|D}} and {{Button|GCN|D-Pad|U}} on the dpad, then {{Button|GCN|Z}} or {{Button|GCN|A}}. This input combination must be inputted between frames 8-39 of the grab (the part of the grab before the grapple becomes visible).  
[[Samus (SSBM)|Samus]] can extend the length of her grappling beam if her controller presses Z, then up, down, and up on the control pad, then Z again. This combo must be inputted between frames 8-39 of the grab (the part of the grab before the grapple becomes visible). Samus' grapple will extend to approximately 3 times its normal length. It can also home onto opponents by pressing L when she pulls it out. However, opposed to the normal grappling beam, one needs to press A or Z when the tip of the beam is over the enemy in order to grab their opponent.
 
If successful, the Grapple Beam will extend to approximately 3 times its normal length. It can also home onto opponents by pressing {{Button|GCN|L}} when she pulls it out. However, unlike the normal Grapple Beam, one needs to press {{Button|GCN|A}} or {{Button|GCN|Z}} when the tip of the beam is over the enemy in order to grab them. The grab range is also limited to the tip of the Grapple Beam with no close first hitbox, making it unable to grab airborne opponents. These effects will remain after doing the necessary inputs until Samus loses a stock.

Samus is not able to perform this technique in the [[PAL]] version of ''Melee''.
