Jab is the regular punch Luigi does with the A button when he's standing still. If you Jab and then press Z (Grab) you'll almost always grab them as long as you're close enough. And that's the Jab Grab.

>_>
<_<
Anyone else want to explain too?

Jab : A quick, straight punch thrown with the lead hand. It can be used as a set-up for power punches, as a way to gauge distance, to keep an opponent wary, or as a defensive move to slow an advancing opponent.

in case you ever go into boxing :chuckle:
