Damn DK

I play a lot against my friends DK and I have a really hard time coming back from off stage. He just keeps on down tilting and I have never once teched it.. It's possible right? Also is it better to go for ledge sweet spot or to go as high as possible?

Another thing is, I am not sure which throw to use. At first I tried to use d throw and tech chase but dk's roll is so damn fast that I miss the grab most of the time... So is it correct to up throw or do I just need to work on d throw chasing? Thank you

It's hard to avoid a dtilt. It's worse if your friend grows a pair and starts bairing and upBing to edgeguard you.
I usually try to bait them into doing the dtilt too early and just outspacing it by a pixel.
I'm not sure if you can tech it. Depends if the attack makes you enter tumbling or not.

Jeapie once told me "Always use upthrow vs DK."

This applies to alot of other characters as well.

Falcon gets alot more options from an uthrow on DK and similar characters.
From 0% you can regrab, jab, uair if he is close to you, and if he DIs away he will land, and you can tech chase him.
You can definitely react to it, I've done it many times. You can react to all the characters rolls. Just gotta believe in yourself! :D

In theory you should be able to kill/rack ALOT of pct on any character from a throw.
