Well I'm not sure if anyone has talked about this but I've noticed that while dashing if you push in the opposite direction and grab you will turn and grab right away. I thought this is especially helpful for Ness since his back throw is so powerful. Using this to point your back throw where the edge is closest will increase effectiveness of it. The sliding of after the grab is greatly decreased. However Ness's head movements still indicate a dashing grab.

Simple version:
1. dash forward.
2. turn around and very quickly grab.

Ref, if you ever post ANYTHING that is remotely useful, ever, I will take back everything I have ever said about you.



This was even on the Dojo.

Hm, dunno if this is what this thread is talking about, but if you dash then turn around and grab with Ness you can do a sliding (retreating) reverse grab.

Masky is correct, and that is one of my favorite moves. You have to dash, and do an immediate turn around grab, Ness will slide all happy and grab backwards. You can do this repeatedly for a good defensive maneuver.

If this is what Ref is talking about, he doesn't get credit for bringing it up because he wasn't clear.
