Game and Watch tech: is the Dash Attack Cancel Grab changing the meta?

[Pablo's Combo's]

I've been playing PM since 3.0. I'm starting to basically master this character, trying to DACUS as many times in a row. doing the same combo for an hour, playing friendlies with people, you know, stuff like that. Until I came across this new useful tech I found COMPLETELY BY ACCIDENT! I was playing friendlies at one of my locals. What I wanted to do was to DACUS as soon as I hit them with my dash attack so I can get the guarantee combo. Instead this is what happed: My friend was holding shield, I dashed attack his shield, I accidentally pressed Z, and grabbed him as soon as I touched his shield with my dash attack. We both looked at each other in confusion. I couldn't get over what just happened that day.

I call this new tech: Dash Attack Cancel Grab (DACG)

To do this technique, all you need to do is simple. as soon as you hit your opponent with the dash attack. quickly press Z and he'll a grab the opponent (at low %'s) What's crazy is that if your opponent is shielding and if you hit their shield with the dash attack, G&W can follow up with an immediate grab. I know, it's INSANE!!!

The next day I wanted to test this new tech on every character. these were what I found as of now. It may not be a lot but it's something. This is however my first Thread.

Note: Game & Watch can only do this technique.

• Game & Watch can Dash Attack Cancel Grab every character at low %'s.
• Game & Watch can Dash Attack Cancel Grab every chracters shields.

If anyone has questions, concerns or things I should be clear of. Please ask me, I will try to reply ASAP.
let me know guys, Is this new tech helpful? or broken? lol.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this tech has been around for a while. It is super useful though. Sonic can also use this tech actually so G&W isn't the only one, but very few can use this tech.

Darn, I knew someone was going to say that. Sorry. I just got really excited about this tech cause I found it without any guides or any help in general, it just happened by accident. I guess this should be more of a guide than a thread discussion...Well now I know it's been found already, though no one I see uses it much but whatever. Thanks for letting me know bro.

It has its niche uses. Definitely a mixup, but you have to be kinda close to them and usually a regular grab/jc grab would do the trick just fine.
