Grab Cancelling?

[TheBSKR]

Okay, I played PM yesterday and was hit by a fox upsmash but, for some reason did not take any knockback because I grabbed him. Can someone test this in melee because this could be huge. (I was using Marth)

Spacies themself have a move with about the same effect, shine makes you invulnerable for one frame, so you could theoretically negate attacks with it, too. It's even faster than grab! And you don't event take the damage!

It's still not used in that way. Timing too tight. Better shield / CC / evade moves.

That happens when a grab connects with the opponent and an opponent's move connects with you on the same frame. That was an intentional choice by the PM dev team.

In Melee, the attack doesn't hit at all you just grab your opponent with no damage dealt to you. However that's not even close to practical as a means of avoiding damage

Okay, thanks
