Clinch

Clinching is a defensive technique which allows you to stun enemies and prevent them from doing anything. However, clinching also prevents you from hitting.

Tips for using clinch

 * Outside of 2v2s and brawl, this move is useless. Do not use this in 1v1s, you will just waste special. Blocking is almost always the better option in 1v1s.
 * In 2v2s, try to clinch your enemy so your ally can hit your enemies while they are stunned.
 * In brawl, clinch enemies that are stronger than you if they are chasing you. You can build more distance with the enemy by clinching than blocking.

Tips for dealing with clinch

 * Try to land a clinch glitch. In this glitched state, you can attack normally while being clinched.
 * Just like block, there is a limit to how many times you can do this in succession. Clinch can only be used twice in quick succession.
