Since dangr just made his thread about horizontal vs vertical comboing and it brought up some questions about oli's chaingrab, I figured I'd make this since we've never had a formal thread about it.
Oli's chaingrab works on only a few chars, but it can dish out a good 20-30% I believe on some like fox.

Post any information on what characters can be chaingrabbed and how many times from 0%. I'll list the info on this first post.Olimar has a couple chaingrabs. These are from the top of my head. I'm sure there's more.
-dthrow>grab: I don't know the exact numbers, but I'd guess that you can dthrow>grab around 3-4 times on the spacies. Maybe 2-3 on some of the large characters such as DDD, and if your opponent isn't a spacey or a heavy, and they don't jump, you can dthrow>grab once before they realize that they need to jump out of it.
-dthrow>fsmash>grab: this also works on the spacies at low percents. It's best to use it when they DI towards you. You can fsmash and regrab them. It will never work on floaty characters like Samus.
-dthrow>fair>grab: works on the heavy characters pretty well. I don't think it's a true combo, but it's hard to get the timing down pat to avoid the second grab, unless you're used to it.
-dthrow>run underneath them>pivotgrab: It's flashy, and it's useful if your back is to the edge of the stage when you grab them. You just pivotgrab so you can combo them off the stage. It works well on the heavies and spacies.

Characters with fast Up-B's (Game and Watch, Sonic, etc), can get out 1 jump earlier, generally. I'll test everyone with Up-B later. Also, I'm no pro at the Oli chain grab, so if someone better finds any wrong results, please let me know
Also, purples usually screw it up due to lack of reach, or too much knockback.white's can usually get you an extra throw as they rise in percents, so i have noticed (being one of the first to use this ^^)
