Which Characters Have the Longest Grabs?

[DrLobster]

Hey, forums. A Melee/PM player that's looking to get into Smash 64 here. Just wondering which characters have the longest grabs, as that will play into who I decide to check out first. Doing some research, I know that Donkey Kong has the longest, but there's not much info as to who's in second, third, fourth, etc. Any resources/threads that you know of that could help me out with this?

Why is this so important to make your decision? Wouldn't the tethers be the longest? I think pika is the second longest non tether grab.

Guess I should've elaborated; being a Sheik player, I like have a long grab to use in neutral without having a tether. Maybe that doesn't really factor into the meta of competitive Smash 64, but figured I would ask anyway to see if it makes enough of a difference to be noticed.

And like I said, tether grabs (grab, really, since it's only Samus that has a tether) don't really work for me since they're ridiculously punishable.

link and yoshi are tether as well. pika's length is absurd.

You can watch the hitboxes of every char's grab to see which have the longesr range.

You can find links to hitboxes in the index.

@ Cobrevolution Oh, right, forgot about those two.

@ Sangoku Thanks!
