#REDIRECT [[Boost grab]]
{{Merge|Boost Grab|The same technique.}}
Discovered in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], the [[Grab]] Cancel, also known as a [[Boost Grab]], is the only form of [[L canceling]] that can be performed on the ground. Unlike the typical L Cancel, which has to be performed in the air prior to landing on the ground from an [[aerial attack]], the grab cancel can only be done when you do a [[Dash Attack]]. It can't be done if you do a [[smash attack]] or a [[jab]]. It doesn't cancel the lag of the attack, but it completely cancels the attack and turns it into a grab. To do this, you must dash, press A while dashing and press L,R, or Z immediately within the first [[frame]]. This move is more useful than a dash attack if you want to prevent yourself from getting hit.  But if you skip the first frame of the Dash Attack and then grab, then you won't do a grab cancel and you'll suffer due to the [[lag]] of the attack. If done correctly, you'll skip straight to a grab. Although this attack looks useless, leading you to think that you can just press Z to save time, the grab cancel is a very good mind game.
