Tournament Chain Grabbing

[ShakeNBake]

I've already searched the boards for existing posts on this but didn't find any solid information so my question is there a limit to chain grabs in tournaments?

Example:
My FOX (whom I main) GETS ROFFLESTOMPED vs. pikachu's infinite d-throw and I was wondering if there any limits in tournaments.

I know it varies from character to character and also from place to place but any general information for CG's would be greatly appreciated.

no limits
if you get infinited just pick a different character

 

[Ref]

Most tourneys allow all chain grabs / Infinite grabs. However there are some who don't allow infinite / release grabbing, such as ice climbers infinite or Marth's release grab on Ness which is a chain grab.

Most tourneys don't limit this. However it must stop at 300% or it'll be considered stalling...

Fox can shine out of Pikachu's down throw chain grab at about 80%

People may continue to run tourneys in the future with a rule set that don't allow infinites or chain grabs that involve pummeling to ground release to regrab.

For now the normal rule set allows all of that.

unless you're blatantly stalling the match there's no limit to how long you can infinite chain grab.

usually it becomes considered stalling around the 250+ mark.

Depends on the tournament

hi

Chain grabbing is a controversial technique within the community. Many players consider it an unsportsmanlike move because it can be inescapable when perfected by the grabber. However, tournament players generally see it as a valid technique which characters like Sheik, Marth, and the Ice Climbers need to overcome other deficiencies in high-level matches.
