Okay when are the best times to throw in a headbutt when you have an opponent in a hold? Whenever I am chaingrabbing somebody and throw in a headbutt they brake the hold after. Is it a matter of time or how high their percentage is? What % should I begin to headbutt them 2 times before d-throwing them?

I headbutt 1 time for every 25% and usually once after 10 percent so basically if they are at 50% and not really fast at breaking out you can do 2 headbutts and a blizzard, at 75% you can do 3 headbutts and a blizzard, below 10% its best to just throw and between 10 and 50% I like to only use 1

It depends on your opponent. Some opponents I won't even bother headbutting at all because I know they wiggle out too quickly. Some opponents let you get in a lot of hits because they're focused on DI. It kind of depends on who you play.

Aye, a headbutt for every 25% works perfect. Thank you.

@ Wobbles : I guess your right. I understand it better now. Marth falls under the "wiggles out to quickly" category. Thanks

It's not character dependent for the "who wiggles out too quickly" it's the opposing player. If you're planning to throw immediately after a headbutt, you better off with a blizzardf and head butting with Popo.
