A jump-canceled grab (or JC'd grab) is a technique where a character interrupts a dash or run with a jump, which itself is then jump-canceled with a grab during the pre-jump squat. This results in the character using their standing grab while maintaining some of their running momentum, the amount of which is based on their current speed and traction.
