LARGELY shorten the delay of grabbing (Reverse dash cancel grab) advance technique

[megamanexev3]

I'm not that good with Smash terminology, hopefully I'm saying this right.

As Lucas (no duh), dash forward, press R quickly, then Z and the opposite direction you were running. If done correctly, the resulting delay will be very minimal. You can do this really fast to get your grab to go the direction you are facing, great for mind games. Often I avoid Lucas' grab in mind games as it has major delay, but I've found myself using it a lot more now. Hopefully this technique hasn't been discovered yet.

If it hasn't, I shall name it:

Yes, incredibly corny, thank you very much.

i just tried it and it doesn't come out any faster then just standing still. all the shield does is stop you. it does have less lag then a dash grab though. i dunno what you are trying to say... it is exactly the same.

isn't that just a shield canceled dash into a standing grab?

that would explain it not being any faster than standing still

but i wonder if the control stick being smashed backwards has any effect

It's a Pivot Grab and it was featured on the dojo. This isn't just not new, this was known about before brawl even came out in America.

Ah, alright, thanks for letting me know.

yeah, a pivot grab comes out much faster than a standing grab and slightly faster than a dash grab. timing is somewhat precise because if you try to do this too quickly, or press buttons in the wrong order, you'll just end up rolling (epic fail)

Pivot Grabbing should be done with Z, btw.
