The '''Grapple Beam''' is the name of [[Samus]]'s extended [[grab]] in all five installments of ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' It is a bright blue energy beam that grabs onto opponents and reels them in so Samus can attack them up close, but when it misses, Samus is left vulnerable due to its high ending lag.

It is acquired in most [[Metroid (universe)|''Metroid'' games.]] When not acquired in a game, it is normally replaced with the Power Grip, allowing Samus to grab ledges. The [[Ledge|ledge grab]] takes on a very important role in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. The use of the Grapple Beam in Metroid games to attach to certain Grapple points is similar to its special ability in ''[[Melee]]'', ''[[Brawl]]'', ''[[SSB4]]'' and ''[[Ultimate]]'' of attaching to a ledge from afar (known as a [[wall-grapple]] in ''Melee'' and a [[tether recovery]] in ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''). | ||

In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the Grapple Beam can still be used to damage opponents in midair, but now the Grapple Beam's wall-grapple ability was replaced with the ability to perform a long range tether recovery. This gives Samus an advantage since she can recover from afar. On the ground however, the Grapple Beam is slow for a grab, with its traditional high ending lag when it fails to successfully grab. Missing with the Grapple Beam while standing or even while [[Pivot Grab|pivoting]] can result in ending lag lasting well over one second, which is easily punished. However, the dash grab version has much less ending lag than in previous games (though it is still rather high), which may surprise some opponents. The Grapple Beam | In ''Super Smash Bros.

The Grapple Beam played a cameo role in the [[Subspace Emissary]], as Samus used it to try to pull a [[R.O.B.]] from a [[Subspace Bomb]] when [[Ganondorf (SSBB)#Role in the Subspace Emissary|Ganondorf]] ordered the [[R.O.B. Squad]] to detonate all of the remaining Subspace Bombs. | ||

The Grapple Beam returns in ''SSB4'', having the same effect as Brawl's Grapple Beam. This move has been buffed overall, as it is much faster and has significantly reduced ending lag.

This move has been buffed overall, as it is much faster and has significantly reduced ending lag. As a tether recovery, it has longer range compared to Brawl. Its [[grab aerial]] attack now has two hitboxes, with a sweetspot located at the tip of the beam. | ||
