We should compile a list of knee setups

For example, which moves lead into knee at certain percents against certain characters.
I'm getting the hack pack soon and I will expand with my findings.
Anything you know please post here :)

Am I the only one who doesn't look at percents during matches? I just kind of feel out/react to the knockback. Also it's going to be hella situational. Uair -> knee might work on Fox at 100%, but only if you do it at the last frame of your short hop (Not verified, just making an example). How would this information really help that much?

I used to be OBSESSED with knowing percents for different setups. Lately, I've just been reacting to different knockbacks and such. I say that it's good for your guaranteed kill options, like Uthrow>Knee on Marth at 68. Other than that, there are too many variables, and you should just get good at quickly reacting with a move, rather than focusing too much on percents.

Fast Faller's Uthrow->Knee at 115%+
Peach, Zelda and Puff Dthrow->Knee 60%+ (Earlier will get you nair/rested)
Mario Bros - Don't bother.
Links 60% Uthrow->Knee at 60%
Marth, Sheik, Pikachu, Pichu, Icies, Yoshi, DK and Bowser Uthrow->Knee 70% to 90%
Samus Dthrow->80ish
Ganon, M2, G&W, Ness Kirby Go nuts (No clue, might be link tier).

All your aerials combo into knee provided people don't DI away at mid percents (40% to 80%) on pretty much every one.

you can definitely dthrow knee on luigi doc and mario as long as they don't DI correctly

dthrow knee also works on pikachu

I really don't think dthrow knee is viable on samus... it works if she messes up her DI, but samus is so heavy that it is easy for her to react and DI properly

95% of the info given out about falcon percentages inside and outside of this thread are wrong.

If it's wrong, then what is it? It seems like everything I see is wrong, and knowing the percents would be great. It'd be even better for someone to tell me them if the info is actually out there instead of spending so much time figuring it out myself from scratch.

If I'm playing with someone who's almost too good at DI and they're playing spanimals, I dthrow, shield as they attack, shield grab, dthrow again, then short hop out of shield and throw out a knee in the middle of a SHFFL. If they DI away they're safe, I'm safe, and I can L-cancel and set up from there. If not, they can eat my patella.

I actually up throw and then knee. Of course, the opponent has to be at certain %'s of damage. I can do it to Mario and Dr. Mario before 85%...

there are way too many to list... the index thread has some that you can use as guidelines, but really once you get to a certain level you just know...

if you wanna get good at comboing, get good at shffling
like insanely good
especially upair
learn how to shffl all the different aerials so the hitbox is out on the first possible frame

once you have the tools, you can get creative
