Best way to escape getting grabbed??

[ssbstreak]

Hey I've been playing smash for over a year on kaillera and well getting grabbed is still an issue. I've heard that shield jumping helps avoid it and just having good spacing does too, but anytime someone gets grab happy I always get grabbed like 4-5 times before I manage to find away around it sometimes more.

Is there a better way to avoid getting grabbed??

I understand that how u approach is everything, but its easy for me to still get grabbed even if i get the first hit in an approach.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Use aerial attacks, land BEHIND your opponent.

know the damage they're at before you decide your approach. If they are at very low damage, approaching with a low kb aerial may be difficult to avoid getting grabbed. But yea, land behind your opponent, do aerials just before you land, z cancel and then follow up with a tilt/grab w/e

Sounds good.

Also what does kb in "low kb aerial" stand for?

It means "low knockback aerial".
