I miss my Ice Climbers. What characters have the best grab range, and the best follow ups as far as grabs go. I'm looking to play characters that benefit from following up and combing from grabs frequently. Sheik comes to mind for obvious reasons, but who else? Why?

Dedede is a really solid pick with his great grab range and Nair / Fair follow up until mid high percents.

ZSS is much like Sheik in terms of grab options. The Mario Bros are surprisingly solid too.

I missed Ice Climbers too, so that's why I choose Rosalina as my main.

Throw anybody in the air or off the stage and they're easy pickings for their great aerial play.

Falcon's boosted grab range is pretty freaking ridiculous, and I'd say it's a pretty solid way to start chains/combos with him. He also can usually get (at minimum) a guaranteed uair on most of the cast with either a uthrow or a dthrow. There's a lot you can do off of a grab with Falcon, not too unlike previous installments of smash

Yeah Doctor Mario does seem to have a very good grab game and a pretty solid grab in general. I haven't played Dedede in this version yet.
