His dash grab is the one with the range on it. If it misses, it can be easily punished. His JC grab (or standing grab) range should be about the same as Falcon's JC grab.

Marth's grab is pretty fricking annoying sometimes, I have to admit. At times, it seems like I'm literally sucked into it.

Chain-grabbing's the real problem, not range. Any infinates need to be done away with in Brawl.

The only chaingrab even worth complaining about is Sheiks and it doesnt even work with every character.Its not broken and can be avoided.

None of the chaingrabs are infinite only ice climbers can stake the claim but its very difficult to pull off.

Why would you want to dumb down the characters and the game in general.This stuff is there so advance players or players who wish to be advance can enjoy the game at a higher level.

Who said anything about chaingrabs being broken? Or anything about dumbing-down the game? Last I checked, this thread was about how annoying it is to see such moves done to you.

Surely there is a grab, combo, or particular tactic in this game that you find slightly annoying when it is done to you...?

I think Kirby is probably more messed up than Marth or Shiek. At least they have arms, he just has those little stubs. I cant figure out how he reaches as far as he does.

There are plenty of 0-low% to death chains. They may not be guaranteed, but if you know what your doing they are. Any such combo is broken. Marth and Shiek are broken enough without their godly grabs and grab chains, there's plenty there to complain about IMO.

Isn't Marth's grab range longer than Yoshi's. It is annoying, but there are many weird hitboxes in this game, so whatever.

Shiek's grab isn't that bad really. Marth's arm, however, is longer then Yoshi's friggin tongue. Now THAT'S broken.

Sheik is broken as far as I'm concerned. Not for tourney play, but Sheik has broken the game for casual players. Also, her chaingrab has made some decent characters obsolete.
