As peach when ever I try to DI Marth's throws alway either get regrabbed or juggled. How should I be DIing?

There are probably lots of intermediate steps in there if you are getting regrabbed as peach. I cannot quote any stats or figures on this much, but his forward throw puts you at about a 45 degree angle when launched. Uthrow is almost vertical. Dthrow sends you at about a 45 degree angle behind him. Bthrow sends you about a 60 degree angle behind him.

Just DI straight down or also down and away, you'll get away from pretty much all of his follow ups as Peach.

down and away is the best bet. if you can get the tech off then thats good. if he goes for regrab be ready for him with a spot dodge --> punish

Marths tend to pause when they're switching between f-throw and d-throw

So if you figure out their default between the two then DI for that one when you're grabbed reflexively, then switch if they grab attack a bunch or seem off with the throw

Trust me

unless they choose whether to dthrow before they go for the grab and actually queue the dthrow:p

now if only fthrow and upthrow could be queued with the cstick

cping you to Mute at a MDZ tourney
you should DI based on the way marth is facing and your position onstage. however, at most percents he has a guarunteed followup, so your focus should be on what combo tree he's using and how you're gonna DI it.
the "best" option is DIing down and away so you don't get regrabbed or tipper fsmashed. but you lose positioning and he can sometimes hit you before you hit the ground with dash attack. so mixing it up is always important. Just don't hold in when you get fthrowed off the stage on yoshis.

I've always been getting caught in this lately, is there any change in how Peach di's in the PAL version or am I just not doing it down and away hard enough?

What do you mean hard enough? You don't smash DI it, put and hold the control stick in the little notch between 3 and 6 o'clock for forward throw

Marth most certainly does have an fthrow CG. it works on peach too, although only for maybe 3 or 4 grabs starting at 0%, but it can end in an fsmash for pretty decent damage unfortunately.
