Thank you for your help in answering my question. I probably sound ignorant, but I'm still confused about one thing. You said, "To do the shield chain grab you down throw, buffer then run without releasing," etc. However, if I try to buffer the run and hold the stick without releasing it...

I am having trouble with shield chain grabbing. To buffer a dash after the down throw, you have to tap and release the stick. When I do this, during the initial dash animation, the game won't let me shield. Normally, you can shield during the initial dash animation if you're holding forwards...
