Some people told me some weeks ago about hpw i could escape sheiks´s chainrab-.--
they told me it was pressing up and out DI when she tossed me... BUT IT IS NOT WORKING!!!.

She uses her down throw at 0% and there seem no way to escape her grab with les than 30%. If i stay in the same place i get grabbed too..and later get up smashed.

And please dont tell me "dont get grabbed" because that nos as easy as it sound.

PLEASE HELP!

Hate to tell you, but your doing something wrong, because DIing up works, are you trying to jump once you DI up? if not thats why ur messing up

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
You pick your poison. When you DI to avoid the chain grab, you have to resign yourself to the fact that Sheik will have other options. DIing up and towards Sheik will get you out at low %s, but she can still get 1 extra grab regardless at 0%. Also, always DIing like this will go badly for you, as a smart sheik will read this DI, utilt, ftilt, fair you, which is around a 40% combo. So, mix it, up, try to catch her off gaurd, and most importantly, don't get grabbed.

According to Husband, you need to DI slightly behind the first throw to basically go straight up, and you can always jump out of any attempts to upsmash, but the timing is tight.

ok, solets see if i got it....
at 0%, she will always get a second grab, it soesnt matter what i do.... and at low% i can evade it byDIng slighlty to her and up--
about the timing of pressing the jump to scape.. it has to ve precisse? or the button mashing is valid option?, because it happens so fast that is difficult to time!-

u can button mash until u get used to the timing i guess... i dont know if there are negatives because a button mashing that particular time

also, if u jump and u see sheik going for an u-tilt combo, u can always air dodge...

air dodge won't come out quick enough at low %, and at high %, she's going for a fair anyway. Timing is always a better option than mashing, so see what you can do about getting the timing right. You'll know if the DI is right if you pop straight up, and a little bit behind her, but again, this is not always the best option, only if the sheik is cg happy.

id think that up b-ing out would make it incredibly easy for her to get another grab off, more so than if you were just standing still, unless you landed on a platform (or hit her and she had decent %), but she would still be easy to combo before you can recover form the up b

Sheik shouldn't be able to chaingrab marth...for the most part. If she could, this matchup would go from difficult to impossible.

Sheik can't CG Marth. Only if you let her. DI up and jump, but then she could opt to tilt you then fair. So either way you're going to get messed up.

Yeah, I know it sucks.

Thread over.

Sheik has the ability to always follow up her dthrow vs Marth. Just never DI towards a smart/decently good reaction speed Sheik when you are at 70-90-ish percent. Usmash kills Marth at 70 >.<
