You mean the Pivot Grab? I haven't watched the video but I'll tell you how to do so

Do a normal dash, then turn around and at the same time grab, it has more range and its faster ;)

It's a BOOST pivot grab.


Dash attack cancelled into a pivot grab (very similar to boost smashing)

But it's just worse than the 'normal' cg right? The only advantage I see is when you're facing to the wrong side.
More chance of tripping = sad falco

Its a boost pivot grab.

Dash, then when you want to perform the grab press the opposite direction you are dashing +R(shield)+A(attack). I put the perenthesis for those who might have changed their control scheme. It helpful for mindgames specifically for those who know ur goin for the grab. Its a little slow, so when ur opponent spot dodges for a normal grab they will get grabbed by the boost grab instead. Also good for turning around a cg if you start facing the wrong way. Its worth learning, basically.

I thought you had to use a dash attack?

The input for me is dash ->, C-stick down, <-Z. Not difficult once you learn the timing.
