Me and my friend messed around with this for a few hours last night using bombs as the item. I would throw a bomb, he would air dodge and then grab it using Z.
You would basically do this so that you dodge the item, that way there is no risk of getting hit, then hit Z to try to grab it as an added bonus. We are both Samus players, so we started out trying it with her, however, it seems that hitting Z while in Air Dodge state with Samus causes her to lose invulnerability and attempt to grapple. So since we both never play anyone else, I figured we would try Mario and see if Z would cause him to lose his air dodge invulneribility, but no, it didn't, and it was painstakingly easy to air dodge to item grab with Mario, however 9 times out of 10, with Samus, pressing Z in air dodge with an item within grab radius caused her to be hit by the item rather than grab it.
Is there something I'm missing, or is Samus simply at a disadvantage in this department due the fact that her grapple come out of air dodge when you press Z?
(I realize that Air Dodge to Grapple is great for returning to the stage, so no need to discuss that here)
