Dthrow vs Fthrow to Nana Fair

[CheeseNip]

I just started learning the IC about a week ago so I am pretty newbish with them. I have read a bunch of guides and watched several videos that always recommend Dthrow to Nana Fair to end a CG in a spike or for whatever reason. However, I have learned that Fthrow to Nana Fair works just as well in most cases. Is there any specific reason why Dthrow is recommended over Fthrow?

I personally belive it's easier because, the opponent flies up anyway.

I just prefer d-throw. kackamee is right, they go up anyways.

Fthrow is better against heavier opponents

I use down throw most of the time unless I'm trying to spike the opponent off the edge or down throw doesn't work with a certain character right, in that case I will use the forward throw.

I've always preferred F Throw because you don't have to change dependant on character, where as on some heavys D Throw doesn't work.

The timing for Dthrow > Fair is easier to do than Fthrow > Fair, so you mess up less often. However, it doesn't work as well on heavier characters and doesn't work after certain percentages.

Fthrow > Fair works on all characters up to 999% and has the same timing for every character. The only problem with it is that it is a bit trickier than Dthrow > Fair.

Dthrow to Fair is DIable after about 53% so I just use Fthrow to fair after the oponent reaches that percentage.
