How will grab canceling affect the game?

For anyone who doesn’t know, in Smash Ultimate if two characters grab each other at the same time, their grabs will cancel each other out and both parties will be pushed back slightly. This is extremely similar to throw teching, a mechanic that’s commonplace in conventional fighting games. Do you think this will be a big deal in Ultimate? Will it majorly affect grab-heavy characters like Luigi or Captain Falcon?

Honestly, it shouldn't change TOO much, since most grabs are done while the opponent is doing something else. All it will really do is solidify a form of fairness as opposed to the old system of port priority, but otherwise, it feels more like a small hole in the ship that was plugged rather than another engine being installed.
