A '''grab aerial''' ({{ja|空中ワイヤー|Kūchū waiyā}}, ''Midair wire''; also known as a '''grab air''' or '''zair''') is a [[Fighter ability|technique]] introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that allows a character to use their extended [[grab]] implement as an [[aerial attack]] or [[tether recovery]] ([[wall grapple]] in ''Melee''). Grab aerials are performed in the same way as grabs, either by simply pressing the grab button while in the air, or by holding a [[shield]] button and then pressing an [[attack]] button.

|[[Link]]||{{GameIcon|SSB}}{{GameIcon|SSBM}}[[Hookshot]]<br>{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}}[[Clawshot]]||In ''Melee'', it has high lag and low damage, but in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' it can be used to start combos and the final hit has much more [[knockback]]. In ''Brawl'' and early versions of the 3DS version of ''Smash 4'', it can combo into a [[DACUS]] at medium percentages. Link no longer has a grab aerial in ''Ultimate'', but both of his doppelgängers still do (see below).

|[[Lucas]]||[[Rope Snake]]||It deals no damage in ''Brawl'', but can be used to move Lucas a bit faster in the air. In ''Ultimate'', it is involved in a special [[double jump cancel zair|double jump cancel tech]] specific to Lucas.

|{{SSBU|Luigi}}||{{GameIcon|SSBU}}[[Poltergust 5000#As a grab|Poltergust G-00]]||It can damage opponents like all other grab aerials, but it is the only one that cannot tether to ledges. Unlike other grab aerials, Luigi's grab aerial acts like a projectile, as the plunger doesn't retract back into the Poltergust and instead stays out and slowly falls down, with its hitbox still active. Notably, the projectile will still be launched if Luigi lands before firing it in the air.

|[[Samus]]<br>{{SSBU|Dark Samus}}||[[Grapple Beam]]||Considered to be Samus's best spacing move in ''Brawl''. In ''Melee's'' [[NTSC]] versions, it can be canceled by dropping {{b|Bomb|Samus}}s. It acts as a strong combo tool in ''Ultimate'' thanks to leading into dash attack consistently.
