Dash Grab - does it make a difference?

[eveningninja]

I've slowed down training mode to 1/4th speed, and tested out the dash grab mechanics. And I can clearly see when I AM doing it in 1/4th mode because the dash attack animation begins but is immediately cancelled by the grab animation. However, I don't really notice any increase in grab range. And I can't even tell if/when I'm doing a dash grab at normal 1x speed even when I'm using the same button input. It looks to me like I'm just doing a grab out of a dash.

Am I just not quick enough to be doing the dash grab at 1x speed? Or are there certain characters who don't even really benefit from the dash grab? Or am I just not observant enough to notice the range difference?

Some characters have better dash grabs than others, who are you using?

Try the exercise again with Captain Falcon.

Yeah some chracters benefit from dash-grabbing, others don't. Little mac and capt. falcon are two off the top that do. I'm a Dr. Mario main and have tried dash grabbing with 1/4 speed as well, and notice no grab range increase.

Okay thanks. I'll try with diff characters. Can you guys notice that initial frame of the dash attack animation in 1x normal speed? I can only really notice it in 1/4 and 1/2 speed. It seems to go too quick for my eyes in 1x speed, so I am only able to really judge whether I did it correctly or not based on a potential increased range I think.
