Smash Wii U Can anyone explain tether grabs

[xDizxy]

Every one knows attacks beat grabs, grabs beat shield and shield beats attacks. Can an attack beat a tether grab from far range? I had it happen to me alot where I'm playing as lucas and I pull out my snake to grab them but somehow I get hit when I'm not close. I think it's online lag. Anyone got experience with these?

I do not have much experience with this maybe because R.O.B. does not have a tether grab.

Hmm... I'm pretty sure that tethers don't have hurtboxes. What character was the other person and what did he/she hit you with? Were you dash grabbing?

If he thought that then he should not have asked.

What I seem to have observed is that if you tether grab someone who is charging a smash attack that is not a projectile, they will have a few frames of releasing that smash attack, but still be tethered, and being pulled in.

I have not tested this, so that all could be wrong. If it helps, I play Mario.

That's interesting...it seems that the hitboxes of the smash attack linger for a few frames when they release it as soon as they get pulled in by the tether, thus causing the person who used the tether to get hit. Maybe that's what happened to Dizxy. Someone should test that and see if that's the case.

It is probably online lag.
