After watching Rain's play on the japanese tournament, I noticed he did a grab release setup on Wario as seen here. I got curious about it, so I tried grab release setups against every character in the game. Although I tested against level 9 CPUs, which tend to mash jump and air dodge out of combos, I still can't be 100% sure about everything, some things can only be tested against human opponents, please have that in mind.
Well, unfortunately, most characters actually don't get hit by grab release setups, the only ones I found something meaningful are:
Wario, Megaman: Fair, Uair, Upsmash (only Luma hits), dash Upsmash (not sure about this one, maybe you can escape). I'm not sure if Megaman can rush coil out of it, but I'm fairly sure that the game treats grab release animation as something other than hitstun, so it's most likely possible.
Fox, Greninja, Sheik: Dash attack. Not sure why you'd pick this option, but it's possible so I'm dumping it here anyway. You have to do it instantly, as seen on this thread. Maybe, just maybe you can hit Sheik with a dash Upsmash because her animation is fairly longer, but I don't think I can confirm this with a CPU opponent.
