Immediate grab-break

[ADHD]

This has happened to me alot, I grab and immediately the grab breaks. What the hell is caused by this?

Probably the low damage of whoever youre grabbing

try to grab a cpu lvl 9 with 0% playing with olimar,it will break the grab easy

No it was IMMEDIATELY. It was like I grappled and the break before I even pulled him in.

I heared a rumor that if you press A in the right frame it breaks out of the grab

Other players have experienced it and theorized about the possibilities if it could be controlled, but as far as I know what causes it is still a mystery.

Probably a grab break like those in most other fighters. It's happened to me, too. Could also be two grabs being performed at the same time and canceling each other out.

yeah there was a lot of talk about this when Marth's CG on Ness was discovered and the DK boards were talking about it before that as a way to escape Dedede's CG. Pretty sure no one knows what causes it though. Someone said they'd done it though so I'm pretty sure it's not just the computers cheating.

My theory on grab breaks is that it involves the edge of the stage. I play nearly all my games at FD, and as many times as I grab in the middle, it never breaks. Near the edge though, grabs seem to break. I am guessing it involves some momentum into the edge issue.

i am not sure but once i broke free from a grab at about 150% damage.i am not entirely sure but iit happens when for some reason the one who is grabbing gets hit just right before he grabs the grab animation happens and the one who is grabbed inmediately releases.i also think this is character dependant since on some characters like squirtle they will still grab but sustain damage.

i broke out of olimars grab at 90% instantly but i have no idea how it happened

 

[Cecilanius]

How I did it was, I pressed A just as my friend grabbed me.

Were you on a slope? Go on Yoshi's Island melee version and grab the cpu while being below him on a slope. The cpu will immediately escape and you can chain them off the stage lol but that's b/c they don't DI

I made a thread of this on the mario forum but forgot to put in up in the tactical as well.

Sorry, I totally forgot to put this in the earlies.

I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of being near an edge. The game repositions you during a grab. If the game doesn't like where you're being placed, it opts to break the grab apart rather then have more body hanging off an edge then what looks possible.

Things that can break you out of a grab instantly:
-being grabbed near the edge
-being grabbed while on ground that is changing (i.e. Pokemon Stadium)
-being grabbed on a platform that rises up or lowers down

This usually happens when one character shield grabs after blocking a stong attack that pushes them away, and subsequently, off the edge. Since there is no such thing as an aerial grab, the grab ends.

I believe I have seen this happen too. At a tournament I was at.

It might be a hidden tequnique, who knows?

Well that doesn't make sense considering I was in the center of battlefield.

Just yesterday in matches with my wifi buddy I noticed this happen but this time it was me who broke out. It was on smashville once again near the middle. I'm a button masher and I forgot what I was trying to do but it involved a jab.

Ehhh cool.
