I've seen topics about the best matches, the comebacks, the most beautiful combos. However I was looking for something else : a list of awesome chaingrabs or techchases. I don' t mean only normal chaingrabs but also up tilt to regrab or up air to grab count for me too. So I'm suggesting to make a list of the longest chaingrabs and techchases.

Here is one I like. It comes from the M2K vs Shiz Revival Of Melee match (I still don't understand this name, MELEE SHALL NEVER DIE !). I count 10 grabs here the chaingrab begins at 2:17.

Here is the link : http://youtu.be/qW-diM94E8A?t=2m17s

I've seen somewhere a naming. I remember that the comment probably on youtube was saying :

Death By Grabs ***** (DBGR).

LIST OF CHAINGRABS AND TECHCHASES :
First with 13 grabs :
Drephen (Shiek) on Soap (Shiek) at Middle of Ohio in Grand Finals; http://youtu.be/MVhk04jDVZE?t=25s

Seconds with 12 grabs :
Leffen (Fox) on Javi (Fox) at Apex 2013 in official match; http://youtu.be/FHASAeLV4CE?t=2m9s
Magus (Ganon) on Velocity (Falco) in friendlies; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsNbCkzRF-s

Third with 10 grabs :
Mew2King (Marth) on Shiz (Falco) at ROM in losers finals; http://youtu.be/qW-diM94E8A?t=2m40s

Fourth with 9 grabs :
Axe (Pikachu) on Darkrain (Captain Falcon) at FC10R in round robin final; http://youtu.be/Fi7gGBQKlAM?t=58s

Fifths with 8 grabs :
Axe (Pikachu) on Dashizwiz (Fox) at Apex 2010 in official match; http://youtu.be/qLyHN3z85CY?t=1m28s
Drephen (Shiek) on Soap (Shiek) at Middle of Ohio in Grand Finals; http://youtu.be/MVhk04jDVZE?t=1m40s
Zhu (Falco) on Lunin (Fox) at B.I.O. 3; http://youtu.be/oQr3E6QY394?t=26s

Sixth with 4 grabs :
Captain Jack (Donkey Kong) on a Fox in friendlies; http://youtu.be/zM0gbNfd6Dg?t=22s (the whole match contains two other chaingrabs of three grabs).

Feel free to give me the link of yours to complete the list !

That Gannon on Falco CG: was it just me or did that Falco just have terrible DI?

Nowhere near terrible, but he could have mixed things up a little better because he DI'd in a pattern (away, behind, away, behind, etc.) in the beginning and that is your chance to get out. It's like a 50/50 at first, where Ganon just has to guess between standing grab and pivot grab. Then at 40% Ganon has to start jc grabbing when falco DI's away, and at 65% you have to start JC grabbing if they DI behind basically. But at that point someone with good reaction can stop guessing so DI doesn't matter as much. If done correctly, that chaingrab is inescapable from 12-250% on falco and 34-250% on fox (but really you just take them up to around 140% or so and give them the purple boot aka mexican truck (no insurance).

Also that falco was Velocity.
