Overview

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Falcon's grab release can sometimes be followed up by a forward aerial, another grab, among other options depending on the character. This can make his grab extremely rewarding, as the foe's placement on the stage can be manipulated before having a guaranteed follow up of the player's choice.

Trivia

• There's a technical oversight in Captain Falcon's pivot grab where the two near grabboxes share the same ID. This results in the middle grabbox never appearing in game.
