I watched the recent vids. of SK92 at his last tourney and I noticed something that resembled a reverse boost smash. Here is the link,

The reverse boost smash I noticed was the first match against Decide at around 1:20. Could someone please explain to me the name of this move (If it is "reverse boost smash” or not) and tell me how it is perfomed. Thanx a bunch.

you can do a reverse jump canceled Up smash but not a boost one, it will slide a little but doesnt have the same sliding potential as a boost smash.
How To:
Dash
Tap backwards on analog stick
roll analog stick up from the tap backwards and press A at the timing you normally would for an up smash

Hey thanx. Now that I have reviewed the video a little closer I do realize that you are right. Srry if I got anyone too excited. Thanx for the help from J4pu and KuroZero (who responded to the same question on another thread).

is there a diference between a "boost grab"(run, dash attack cancel to grab the opposite direction) and a sliding grab? (run, taping the control stick on the opposite direction while grabing)

Is there any real use for this because U-smash has little sideways killing potential...
No, and it's not possible anyways.

@masv: I'm not sure about reg. boost grabbing, but reverse boost grabbing is very useful. You can use it to change direction during a chain grab, or just to throw your opponent off gaurd. (it's also better than pivot grabbing, if that's what you meant.)
