With many characters getting major damage off grabs in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, being released from a grab can sometimes be exactly what you want. However, with proper knowledge of how grab releases work, and the properties of certain grab escapes, you can actually manipulate opponents into favorable situations or even kill via a grab release. In their quest to educate and explain the finer details of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Beefy Smash Doods have stepped into the breach to tell players everything they need to know about grab releases.

The team goes over what causes an air grab release and a ground grab release, as well as certain situations with characters like Megaman, Wii Fit Trainer and Yoshi where players are released in the opposite way to what you would expect, based on the grab animation. They also explain how to force either a ground or air release, as well as debunking the theory that pummeling a grabbed opponent will actually shorten the length of your grab. Along with showing you how to exploit grab releases on the ledge, by catching a recovery opponent just above the ledge to stop them getting their double jump back, the Beefy Smash Doods tell players what they should do as soon as they are grab released in order to stop follow up attacks. It’s an incredibly comprehensive guide and for players who play characters like Ness or Cloud, who can be killed by getting grab released on the ledge, this video is one to take notes from.
