All I see happening is grabs "randomly" breaking during the course of chaotic matches, making ghosts slightly less reliable and increasing the amount of BS moments... All for the sake of people not wanting to get grabbed in grabbing mods.

I'm not saying that this is a horrible idea, but I'm just not convinced that it will have as much of a positive impact as people are making it seem.

I will miss the goatse though :c

"Random wrist dms" usually aren't random and can be avoided. Same thing goes for self grabs which can be avoided simply by paying attention.

I'm still not convinced that this suggestion is necessary. If anything, a timed grab option would be a lot better than this one simply because it would be easy to tell exactly when a grab will 'break.'

Player ghosts already can't take dms and fracs into account. Adding another thing to the list of things the ghosts can't handle would, in fact, add to the randomness of things.
