Does anyone actually know to escape his grab? I mean literally we all had to run to this problem sooner or later. So is it possible at least to dodge the second one or something? Need advice if you have some.

If you go read the thread on the infinite grab, it's actually quite interesting. I'll sum it up for you though:

1. First off, it doesn't work on everyone. Characters with large hitboxes (Bowser, DK, Samus, another DDD) are the only ones truly subject to it because even if they do DI they can still be grabbed.
2. ORIGINALLY: It was shown that DDD could only do the infinite grab 5 times before it got stale and the opponent would go far enough away to avoid it.
3. NOW: Debunked! DDD can infinite grab large characters forever provided he grab-punches them before he grabs again, thus taking up queues in the stale move list.

As for us, we don't need to worry about it. ZSS is small enough that DI'ing will keep DDD's infinite grab at bay.
