Meh. No problem with it being here.

Grabbing being enabled in TwinSwords always struck me as a bit odd. It's obviously illogical for such a mode, but it does help players make up some interesting moves - generally, the less possibilities for actions you can take, the less possible moves and outcomes in matches. Probably a bad idea to remove it.

you'll feel your eyebrows turning to two gashes, and your shoulder blades will ache for want of wings."
Still, from a gameplay perspective... of course, this all depends on the settings of the actual matches themselves. If the game is set up so that one player can't hit the other on the first turn, grabbing becomes much less of a "problem" as the reach with grabbing is shorter than that with the swords. Therefore, swords have advantage unless they're grabbed. Makes the whole mode deeper.

Grabbing should be allowed in twinswords SP because Uke doesn't give a shit about fairness. Grabbing should not be allowed in MP because instagibgrab makes it too easy to body harvest.

As soon as twinswords5 gets uploaded, there will be no more grabbing with swords... *aims irresistible puppy eyes at hampa*

EDIT: you can grab it here if you're interested.
