Dash grab vs standing grab

[jollypong]

I just started playing lucas today and i found that his grab is a tether. I don't really see a difference between the dash grab and standing grab and what advantageous each one has. Would anyone like to explain to me which grab is better to use?

Well for starters, the endlag on a missed dash grab lasts an eternity.

PMDT also fixed his grab hitboxes, so the hitboxes don't cover the entire snake for the whole grab animation (this was an issue in 3.02 because it was EXTREMELY hard to spotdodge Lucas' dash grab).

Standing/Jump-cancelled grabs are much better to use because it's quicker, and doesn't have massive amounts of end lag on it when whiffed.

To add to what Kipcom said, the best grab to go for is his pivot grab because even though his JC grab is a lot faster than the dash grab, the pivot grab is a lot faster than his JC grab. It is definitely harder to land the pivot grab but it's less punishable as well.
