Grapple canceling: Difference between revisions

'''Grapple Canceling''' is a technique available to [[Samus]] and several other characters in ''[[Super Smash Brothers Brawl]]''. The basis of it is the fact that midair Grapples are immediately canceled with no lag upon landing.

The easiest way to use the Grapple Cancel is to short-hop. On the way down from the short-hop, press Z (or the equivalent Grab Button on a non-Gamecube Controller). If the character has a midair grapple move, it will extend quickly. Upon landing, there will be no lag, and any other move can be performed immediately.

This is very useful with [[Samus (SSBB)|Samus]], as her midair grapple (also known as a ''Z Aerial'' or ''Zair'') comes out quickly, has a long range, and has decent stun time on it. Samus can even short hop a Homing Missile and start her Zair upon completion of the Homing Missile, canceling when it hits the ground. This technique is great for pressuring, approaching, and stopping approaches.

==Characters Capable of Performing==

The Grapple Cancel can be performed by any character with a Midair Grapple.

*[[Samus (SSBB)|Samus]]
