Don't kill me, but how do you Pivot Grab

[Venusdude21]

Any help would be appreciated. I can't seem to get it. IF it matters at all my two main characters are Lucas and Ike.

Well I was just looking at this yesterday.
The way you do it (I think) is that you run and then turn around, at the same time you turn around you press and hold grab and the character will grab.

all you have to do:

start dashing

once in dashing, press the opposite direction on the analog stick and your grab button at the same time

Its kind of sad you have to be scared to ask.

But, I was playing with it...It almost felt like i pushed grabbed before I turned, like a split second before. Try that with Lucas.

A video demonstrating Ike strats pivot grabbing included, as well as pivot aerials.

Don't kill me, but how do you Pivot Grab.

The fact that one has to frame a question like that is an indication of the sad state of affairs on SWF.
Funny thing on youtube is that so many people APOLOGIZE for "poor sound" or "bad video quality." Geez, why put up the video then?

Nope.. it's when you grab during the animation of dashing in the opposite direction you're going in. I think it's as fast as a normal grab.
