The '''grab release glitch''' is a [[glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' that deprives certain [[character]]s of their [[recovery]] move if they have used it and are released from a [[grab]] without touching the ground or [[flinching]]. As a result, grabbing and releasing the character without [[pummel]]ling or [[throw]]ing will leave them with no recovery move, effectively guaranteeing a KO if they've already used their double jump. | The '''grab release glitch''' is a [[glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

The glitch occurs because of the behaviour of each character's [[up special move]]. Most characters regain their up special move when they exit their [[helpless]] state in any way. But for characters that do not become helpless upon using their up special move, the restoration has to be done in a more case-by-case way. The glitch is a result of the situation "grabbed and released without being pummeled, being thrown, or landing" not being recognized as a way to interrupt recoveries, and so was not coded to restore recoveries in such situations. | The glitch occurs because of the behaviour of each character's [[up special move]].
