Who has the most powerful grab?

[KKIINNGG]

out of all the characters whose is the best? I would say bowser but he is the only one i use all the time...

 

[-notic]

ness's backthrow kills at 100 so i want to say him

 

[Jun.]

yup ness back throw

ftw


dedede's forward and back throws aren't too shabby either

 

[KiteDXX]

Snake's forward and back throws are pretty good stuff, as well.

 

[Dionysus]

ice climbers ftw

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Apparently, Donkey Kong has the easiest time grabbing foes. Although he shouldn't be dash grabbing.

Snake's Down Throw

 

[J0K3R]

D3 has epic chaingrabs, but snake has wildly powerful individual grab setups

 

[Pyr0]

Olimar's minion grab is too epic for words.

 

[Dionysus]

Olimar's minion grab is too epic for words.

which is exactly why i had to go with the next best in line and say ice climbers

 

[kackamee]

Thanks to the 2 people who recognized Ice climbers as the best. They have 0-death chaingrabs, Technically the strogest single grab (when you grab with Popo and smash with Nana) Awsome grab setups too!

 

[Kabii!]

Dedede's Down Throw, Chainthrow for the win!

 

[GofG]

Ness's. Backthrow. Kills. Regardless. Of. DI. At. Earlier. Percentages. Than. His. Bat.

 

[SuperSmasher962]

If it were a pure grabbing match ness would win but combo'd grabs and stuff IC's would win easy.

 

[MyRevenge.]

Ice Climbers grabs are too good...
They really hurt

 

[shadydentist]

Ice climbers have ridiculous grab combos.
D3 has his chaingrab.
Snake and G&W can play tech chase games from their grabs
Ness has his backthrow, one of the few throws that kill at a reasonable percentage.

 

[Corner-Trap]

The Ice Climbers are the only characters who can 0 to death off a single grab, so they win by default.

 

[Ojanya]

Most powerful as in doing the most damage, knockback, or having the best utility? The topic is pretty vague.

 

[Finch]

Ice Climbers easily. I don't play them anymore because they aren't fun without wavedashing, but their grab combos are now epic so I gotta represent

 

[slacker!]

Wow @ all the scrubs. lolz

 

[Ark22]

Ice climbers win this hands down. They have an infinite forward throw and an inescapable back throw that reverses directions. If you combine the two together, you could conceivably get someone from 0 to 999% without them being able to do anything about it.

 

[nightSN]

everyone is forgetting lucarios chaingrab D:

 

[ChromeSonic00]

Probably IC because their chaingrab can kill from 0%.

 

[Illussionary]

Grabbers

Here's how grabbing is going to work:

These are in best to worst order.

1. Olimar- I can't say anything about his grabbing its so good, so you'll just need to try it for yourself. If you want to know what I mean.

2. Ice Climders- Really strong grabs, they are comboable, and have a good amount of knock-back.

3. Falco- Falco has very good grabs and is able combo very well with then. He can chaingrab and his back throw is easily comboed with a dair for the KO.

4. Snake- I don't play snake, but I've seen his grabs they are pretty powerful, and nice range.

Thats just my opinion.

 

[Mr.E]

Best GRAB is Olimar's, or Bowser's >B since it's also an air grab. Ice Climbers' GRAB is nothing special at all, it's what they do out of the grab that makes them so ferocious.

 

[Marty]

Related question here: Has anyone done any testing on grab ranges? I recall hearing early on that Marth's was reduced, but I'm assuming that wasn't the only change. Any comments?

 

[kazaken455]

I would defenetly go Olimar's throws. They are amazing! :D

 

[asob4]

ice climbers combos are amazing
second would be oli. his range and the combos they lead to, not to mention purple up throw and blue back throw pretty much kill at 100 or over

 

[dinhotheone]

honestly, anyone quoting chaingrabbing as the reason they think someone is best, and mention a character other than IC, is dumb.

 

[Magmma]

Anyone know if the ice climbers infinite combo is still in the game?

 

[Mysta]

The topic should be who has the 2nd most powerful grab because no one can touch IC's in that department

 

[LANDMASTERED!]

Only if they kept Mewtwo from Melee (his grabs were by far the best especially up throw). Anycase, anyone with Chaingrabs (IC, Olimar, etc.) are the real winners (then the more powerful people). Chaingrab ftw (and Mewtwo Grabs ftw, were some if not the best in Melee).

 

[Mysta]

Anyone know if the ice climbers infinite combo is still in the game?

No, all the chain grabs are DI-able after a certain point

 

[NastyMcMean]

If i recall it says most "powerful" throw, that would not be the ice climbers department now, would it?

 

[Kyle_Wattula]

DK has an infinite.
Cargo, Dtoss against walls.

 

[Wh!teZer0]

Chaingrabs =/= Grabs/Throws.

ICs and DeDeDe have good chaingrabs, but not overall grab strength.

Ness backthrow is **** intense.

 

[ducky285]

In terms of grab range...

Samus/ZSS have the longest range
then Link
then Lucas/Toon Link
then Yoshi

But they all have slow, laggy grabs.

In terms of normal grabs, Dedede and DK have great grab range. Haven't really looked at anyone else.

Ivysaur.

Long grab range with very little lag too.
