A command grab is a special move that when used will grab an opponent that the move connects with. Often times an attack animation will follow the grab automatically; some of these attacks, such as Flying Slam, can be directed to land in a certain position on the stage through directional inputs once the grab occurs. Some command grabs can be used to kill both the grabbed opponent and the user of the move; this strategy is commonly known to be used by Ganondorf players because the grabbed opponent will always die before Ganondorf does, ending the game quickly and before the game has a chance to register Ganondorf's death.
