**THIS THREAD HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RE-WORKED TO REFLECT A NEWER, BETTER VERSION OF THE OLD "COMBO." THIS ONE IS MUCH MORE USEFUL, AND I HAVE BEEN USING IT EFFECTIVELY IN NON-WIFI MATCHES (NOT JUST AGAINST COMPUTERS). DISCUSSION BEGINS ON PAGE 2**
To rehash the old thread, the basic idea is to follow a Dash Attack with a Boosted Pivot Grab when the opponent isn't hit very far by the Dash Attack (or, in some cases, when they don't move at all); the primary difference in this version is that the Boosted Pivot Grab is in REVERSE, IE the direction you just dash attacked from (watch the video to see what I mean). This combo works even if the opponent shields through or Spot-Dodges the Dash Attack (as long as you attack through the shield to the other side of the opponent), which is the best use I've found for it so far (it punishes those who fail to shield-grab you immediately). The Boosted Pivot Grab also slides both you and your opponent a good distance while you're holding (and pummeling) them, allowing you to move your opponent out of their advantageous stage position or to slide them closer to the edge to throw them off. This combo is best used in matchups where you really want to grab the opponent but it is difficult to do normally due to your subpar normal grab length (if I'm not mistaken, the Pivot Grab is indeed longer); Link and Olimar come to mind first, but that's only because they're the only ones I have much practice against.
DFEAR has done some testing with DI and has concluded that this is inescapable until about 30%. After that, you can indeed escape this if you DI up and jump out of it (thank you AlphaZealot). Without further ado, the combo and a demonstration video follow:
The combo is as follows:
Dash Attack > Reverse Boosted Pivot Grab > Pummel/Throw/etc.
The button input for a GC controller is as follows:
Dash > C-Stick Down (Dash Attack) > Dash Backwards > C-Stick Down + Z Grab + Forward on Control Stick (Reverse Boosted Pivot Grab) > Pummel/Throw/etc.
Video demonstration against Link in Training Mode (I couldn't get a human to test it with, but after using it several times in matches, I'm sure this version works):
