Roll Cancel Grab (RCG)

Summary

When performed within the first 4 frames of a dash, the first 2 frames of a forward roll can be cancelled into a grab, generating an extended grab with greater range and reach than a normal dash grab.

Requirements
  • Usefulness varies depending on character
How To Perform
  • Hold analog stick forward to begin a dash.
  • Within the first 4 frames of the dash, continue holding analog stick forward and press shield to cancel into a forward roll
  • Within the first 2 frames of the forward roll, continue to hold shield and press the attack button to cancel the roll into a grab.
  • If executed correctly, your grab will cover more distance with greater range than a regular dash grab.
Uses
  • Can use to extend range of grabs
  • Can use for some characters to gain extra distance for a cross-up pivot grab on shielding opponent
Pros & Cons
  • Extends grab range
  • Usefulness and range character dependent
  • No invincibility frames on the roll, so vulnerable during execution
