The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

King Dedede using a Pivot grab.

A pivot grab is a type of grab that a character can use. While dashing, a character can pivot in the other direction, but at that exact same moment of pivoting, the player can press the grab button. This results in a grab that has a longer reach then most normal grabs, with an invisible grab box for most characters. The Pivot Grab can help grab opponents that constantly roll behind opponents that are dashing, and is useful as well as if a character predicts an unsafe approach.

Pivot grabs are generally faster (in cooldown) than a character's running grab, some exceptions that are faster than standing grab include Yoshi's one. Other pivot grabs that are significantly faster than "regular" grabs in cooldown include Lucas' and Ivysaur's.
