Chain grab

Ichigo chain grabbing Donkey Kong with his forward throw.

A chain grab (sometimes called chain throw) refers to a series of grabs and throws that the victim cannot break away from, this is the true definition of a chain grab because after the throw the opponent is in range of being grabbed again and again. A chain throw is when a player throws the opponent a specific direction (most commonly down or up), chases the enemy's directional influence, and grabs the opponent while he/she is still in mid-air and before he/she can tech. Generally, heavier or larger characters tend to be more vulnerable to chain grabs than lighter or smaller characters. Going along with this, Samus is more susceptible to horizontal chain grabs then to vertical ones due to her heavy weight and slow falling speed. While Fox is more susceptible to vertical chain grabs then to horizontal ones due to his fast falling speed and light weight.
