So, I was having some matches with a friend a few days ago and discovered this pretty useful tech. I've called it Item Snatching for ease of conversation but *shrug*.
Pretty much all it is is after using Levin Sword's last use with Fair or Dair, airdodging immediately after the aerial is done will cause the item to be grabbed instantly. (EDIT: After further labbing, it appears that you can also immediately catch Thunder Tomes after Thunder, Elthunder, and Arcthunder with an air dodge. Thoron, Arcfire, and Nosferatu cannot be caught by an immediate airdodge, and this tech is impossible to do with Elwind due to free fall) Nair cannot be used to catch as it stalls the item discard. The airdodge can be executed with either the shield or grab button. Not really sure if this has been talked about before so thought I'd throw it here and see if anyone else can get some use out of it.
Here's an updated video with all the new info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhZMvYazGNE
Thanks!
