 Hey, i know this isn't the gameplay help session but i was kinda hoping someone could help me anyway.  Cuz i want to know how to catch items in mid-air in smash bros melee.  that's such an awesome trick and i would like to know so that i can be an even better fighter and become invincible!

You really should have put this in the gameplay help forum, and the mods will be really mad to know you already know it's there and persisted in ignoring the rules, but as usual, I'll help anyway

Well, as much as I can, anyway.  I really don't know.  For all I know, just press A in midair.  Usually I just dodge items midair by using L (since I don't use items much anyway),  but I hope someone here can help.  And it would be an interesting point for me to learn, too, if a situation may arise that I would need it in.

I miss this game.  Sadly, it was one of five Gamecube games stolen from me a few months back, along with three GBA games.  My collection of games, across all Nintendo consoles and handhelds, consists of over 110 games, though the final count escapes me at the moment, so it is hard to say for certain whether or not other games on other consoles might also be missing, since I only checked the hordes of GCN and GBA games, being aware that at least some were missing,  SSBM rocked.  *sniff*

I THINK that I once caught a Bob–omb with Z. But I don't remember. It took a while to do it, too. It's very exasperating to watch your character willingly jump into the path of a Bob-omb and get reduced to a pile of subatomic particles agian and again etc.

press the z button to catch items in mid air.  it's also useful for picking up items when jumping to a level above you.

yes it is z, but you can also use L+A or R+A..........basically do a grap with it comes near you. I haven't done it with anyone that has a distance grab.
