How to grab Ape's tail?

[HideoKoncima]

Ape characters aren't so hard to defeat, but still I'm not able to grab thei tails. COM characters grab it.
How can I do to grab tails? No tutorial says this.

you have to lock onto the tail and do a grab.

get to his back, lock his tail and then block+ki blast, and yes, the tutorial says it

Idk I never really grabbed a tail. I just beat them up. Surprisingly they hardly fight back at all.

I never been able to grab it even when locked on to the tail and right next to it LB+B
i go into the grab animation but never grabs it - gave up on it and just beat them to death works just as well

[Pigeon Daddy]

you have to keep some distance between you and the tail. if you're right up on it, you'll just fly past it.

So, it should be LB to lock it, then B to grab his tail, right?

Yep
EDIT: RB on my pad config :P First lock it with RB, and then grab it with LB+B

[Pigeon Daddy]

yes. but you have to be locked onto the tail.. for some reason, you can't grab it unless you're locked on to the tail.

I'm using a 360 controller lb+b = grab

Great apes are such push overs even if you don't grab it, it's kind of sad. The NPCs will usually grab it though even if you don't or can't.

First RB to lock the tail (move the right stick to switch targets if it locks the ape's body). Then fly close to the tail and press both LB and B (block + ki blast) to make a throw attack which will grab the tail.
