I tend to really suck when it comes to chaingrabbing. If Im playing a marth or a fox I just get totally destroyed by upthrows. I dont know which way to DI since they end up grabbing me anyway. I feel totally helpless. And even if I mash the buttons fast enough to get out of the chainthrow, when I get back to the ground and try to run away I just get grabbed again and its back to getting ***** again.

Also when facing a jiggs with fox or falco, a simple upthrow rest is enough to kill me right off the bat. I try to DI away but its like it does nothing. It gets me every time.

Overall I just feel very predictable, even when I try to be unpredictable. I fall into patterns that are easy to read, and simply chain throwing or rest comboing is enough to murder me. Its really getting me down. How the heck can I keep from getting beat by these easy tactics? Which way do I DI?

jiggs u-throw - pick a side (not up or down) and hold it all the way

fox u-throw - stop diing at 60 or so and time a jump or shine

marth u-throw - ditto, only at like 35 or something
