Question about boost grabbing?

[Zedic!]

I read on the wiki that boost grabbing was only beneficial to sheik, and the spacies.
I tried marth's boost grab, and it increases the already good range considerably (at least thats what it looked like)
What other characters benefit from the boost grab? Even if its the tiniest increase in range?
Also, i tried the boost grab with my main (dr mario), and im really stuck on that one. It seems like the range is increased....

Now I haven't actually tried boostgrabbing with marth in some time, but... From what I remember it actually decreases the range from his normal dashgrab and is absolutely inferior to his JC grab.

If you want to boostgrab with other characters, then do it with doc/mario or puff or something so you can get an awesome dashattack sound on your grab, lol.

mewtwo's boost grab is weird as ****.

& don't trust smash wiki. & boost grabbing takes a few extra frames compared to JC grab so you're usually better off running for another frame or two then JC grabbing. just a few cases where it's untrue when there's quick translation in the dash attack animation (e.g. sheik) in the startup frames.

Kirby's boost grab SETS HIS FEET ON FIRE.
No added benefit other than looking cool.

I approve of boost grabbing with Mario, Doc and Kirby for flashiness.

what about MEWTWO?

 

[Jonas]

I haven't seen it. I'll check it out and get back to you with my approval.

I use Marth's boost grab. That ****s amazing.

what exactly is boost grabbing?
I just JC all of my grabs .-.

It's something only widely used by sheiks, whereby doing a dash attack, then cancelling it into a grab performs a dash grab with greatly extended reach.

With other characters, it either does nothing different to the dash grab or is decidedly worse.

Wiki ftw. It says you can Lcancel Puffs jab into a grab.

I'm pretty sure Kirby does it the few times I've tried doing this.

How much better is Marth's boost grab compared to JC grab?

 

[Hydro_Smasher]

JC grab beats everything imo

 

[Violence]

Not if you're Samus it doesn't...

I wonder what boost grab does for Samus. Small horizontal boost?

How much better is Marth's boost grab compared to JC grab?

It's worse. There is never a reason to do it.

It's worse. There is never a reason to do it.

Seriously, I don't get why even the smash wiki says Marth benefits from it
