Hmm... here's a few ways:

1. You could use a grenade (pull the pin and hold it) and force the juggling to end by exploding both you and your opponent. Of course, you would only use this if you really need to and if it didn't kill you.
2. Air dodging is another way to avoid this, time his attacks right so you safety air dodge your way back to the ground.
3. B-air works as well since it's basically kinda a sex kick but better.
4. DI. Probably the best bet to use this since there's really no drawbacks. Point that analog stick away or at a right angle of his attack. I think there's a thread on DI somewhere on these forums.

tbh, I found that Air Dodging not to be useful. All the other tricks Kinlap listed work well, but i prefer Up B since you can then drop a C4 and have them scurry.

Wow. I completely forgot about what I usually do in most situations when I'm threatened to be juggled... (same thing as what you just said).

Worst comes to worst, you can pull a nade out in the air. The resulting explosion that occurs when the opponent hits you, depending on their percent, should shake them off. Of course you're risking the damage on yourself too, but it's a tradeoff to further damage from more juggling.

Yeah, airdodge, but don't overdo it, because that gets predictable fast. The nade is your next best option, followed by a precisely landed bair.

Dropping a C4 or air dodging are probably the best techniques. But you could also fire a missile then cause it drop. If you're high enough, it also allows you to B-air after

i also use the nikita to avoid being juggled. dropping a C4 works well too. it takes some practice to get the nikita out, cancel it, and then bair but it's worth it. for the record..i got my azz juggled like crazy last night by olimar -.-

Any tips for avoiding being juggled by Sheik and Marth? Because of Snake's weight, I'm easily juggled by what I'm pretty sure are Sheik's ftilt and Marth's fair, although I'm not certain that those are correct. If my opponent is sloppy I have barely enough time to get a grenade out to blow us apart, but generally even that seems impossible. Any help would be appreciated.
