What exactly goes wrong? If you mess up the actual grab that's just practice, if your opponent hits you before you grab them that means they know your going to dash behind them. If your getting grabbed right after your shffl fair and do not even have time to dash behind them your either:
A. Not shffling the fair
B. Not fairing late enough so the shield stun gives you time to dash around.
C. Playing against Ganon or Falcon (they both can grab slightly behind them and can grab your cape this way, so just dash away as opposed to through).

lol i used to have a lot of trouble with something related to your problem. I'm assuming you're having trouble grabbing when you're in the middle of a turn around? Well, quite frankly i would just stop trying to do that xD Marth has super laggy turn around speed. It ****s me up every time. either you can run past them, CC, and smash/whatever from behind or you can just run up to their face poke their feet and see what they do and react to it =) That's my style newaiz

i guess you could try running past them, wave dashing to the ground/or past them/crouch canceling, and then simply turn around and grab or dash jump cancel grab whatever works for you. it's quicker than waiting for marth to turn around while dashing. let me know if that helps or not.

arcnatural is correct, but possibly assuming that princetoma is doing the fair in the first place :laugh:

also, a problem with you not grabbing (regardless of you doing the shffl'd fair or not) is if you're close enough.
