Crescent Slash is a guaranteed Grab Release Combo on short characters

[Thinkaman]

...except Wario and Jigglypuff. So:


Crescent Slash is Marth/Lucina's 12% sweetspot horizontal custom up-b 2. It is the exact same on both characters. (No tipper) This is the only non-Wario grab release combo in the game. Congrats, I guess.

Shouldn't Mega Man be in the list? I don't think he's tall, so does it work on him or no?

While he appears short, he's tall enough to touch the ground while grabbed so, a soft grab release will do that thing where both players slide back a little on the ground, thus it's not a guaranteed combo.

Actually something interesting I found in training, Megaman appears to be the only character in the game that grab release > Crecsent Slash won't connect with at all, not even sour spot it completely whiff's, even if he does a hard grab release. He must have some unusual physics or something? :V

EDIT: Forward throw > Crescent slash still sweet spot combo's on him, so it's not a big deal. Just the trajectory of Megaman's release is really strange

DOUBLE EDIT: It seems I can do different combo's unique to Megaman's unusual grab release, Up-tilt, forward tilt, Fsmash, short hop Fair, short hop Dancing Blade (strict timing), sh nair (even STRICTER timing x.x) and default dolphin slash all combo on Megaman if he goes for a hard release that I've found so far. I'd imagine that's all of them though....maybe sh uair? hmm...
