You see the problem is that when I do the Jab "Gentlemen" it does the start up jabs but when I grab with the "Z" button it continues to do the jabs instead of a Grab. The reason I say this is because when I do grab it seems im waiting way to long giving the opponent time to shield, dodge etc.
Anytips? Much would be appeciated. Like this =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoADaj20soI

The jabs have IASA frames, you have to interrupt the jabs with something else like a crouch, shield, walk, dash, whatever before you hit Z.

when you try the gentleman, you only need to press the 'A' button 3 times, may I add that you shouldn't press it 3 times fast. But rather slow like 1....2...3, just experiment to get the fastest gentleman and remember only press 3 times and it won't end up a rapid punch, also this timing has potential mind games where you can stop half way through the combo for a split second and do the last hit which is a knee. afterwards go for a grab etc. even try it.

If I'm going from jab to grab, I usually only do one or two jab hits. I don't like using the gentleman. I don't know why. The risk of getting stuck in the long animation of the other jabs, i guess.

same here. if you wait a little after the second jab, the jabs reset, and you can jab juggle them for a while if you're good. i've gotten off like 8 jabs before. and then dsmash.
