    • ▼🎯BehaviorDown Specialgrabs / chaingrab protection—→Cannot grab protected

      Prevents Down Special from initiating grabs on chaingrab-protected targets, avoiding infinite chains and lockups.

      Down Special can no longer grab opponents who have chaingrab protection; prevents infinite loops when two Galvans surrounded their opponent with Down Specials.
