In [[Melee]] characters with a [[tether grab]] like, [[Samus (SSBM)|Samus]], [[Link (SSBM)|Link]] and [[Young Link (SSBM)|Young Link]] can extend their grab using this technique. To perform a '''Decagrab''' you must cancel the landing lag of a [[zair]] and [[dash attack]] using and holding a grab input (Z, R + A, L + A), keep holding the grab input after the dash attack, this will cause the dash attack to cancel into an extended grab after the tether despawns.

To perform a decagrab, the landing lag of a Zair needs to be canceled, followed immediately by a a dash attack while holding any grab input (Z, R + A, L + A). If done correctly, the dash attack will be canceled into a grab after the tether despawns with most of the momentum being maintained, significantly extending how far the tether grab reaches.

There are several ways to cancel landing lag, such as slipping off of an edge or being interrupted by an item. For Link and Young Link, the Boomerang is commonly used to to cancel landing lag, though it requires precise timing and some situational awareness.
