interesting MK combo

[LuVr]

So back when I first had Brawl (like 3 weeks before it was released in the USA) I had tried MK and well lets just say I liked him. I tried a simple short hop + b-air into a down grab and figured out that it works 90% of the time... just a thought was anybody else aware of this? because to this day I see nobody use it at all and everyone I play always wonders what I did to make those 2 moves work so well together... I main many different characters, and my MK tends to be a ditto main for other MK's, but that doesnt erase the fact that this random move I tried wayyy long ago still works... and that I'm unsure if anyone else has done it.

I use this from time to time.

The b-air (on connection) lifts the opponent slightly off the ground. If you land before the b-air fully connects, you can essentially turn around and grab very quickly. Even on block, MK has a good enough recovery on interrupted b-air to still get the grab if the opponent doesn't react fast enough.

You may not see it often because it is a relatively unsafe way to land a grab. If the opponent is shield your b-air, a quick shield drop to any fast move will stuff this. A simple shieldgrab will beat this, too.
