How to Chain Grab with Sheik

[Zero34]

ive been trying to chain grab with her, but im not exactly sure how to do it so could someone post combos with her chain grab or something? is it down throw or up throw or forward throw? things like that. or what characters does it work best on

thanks

 

[crazyforkillua]

Down Throw,Catch,Repeat.
You could also add some attacks in between

 

[emubreath]

it works on fast fallers, and mid fallers. really light characters like zelda, it won't work on. fast fallers, like falco, will fall too fast at low percentages, so you can ftilt to keep them up, then catch them

 

[crazyforkillua]

Yea...I forgot to mention that...@_@

 

[Zero34]

oh okay, so characters like marth, zelda, mario (?) it wont work on?


thanks

also, does she have a foward chain throw

 

[crazyforkillua]

I dont think so but this is just off the top of my head. I dont feel like turning the game on. Yea,the chain throws work on fast fallers like Gannondorf,Marth,Roy,Falco, etc

 

[Nucks]

Eh?
It works on Falco?
I've NEVER seen that happen before. I was told it's impossible to chain falco/fox.
And i'm pretty sure that's true, so I'm going to wait for verification.

Usually it does work on Doc/Mario but only at low percents and you can only get 3 maybe 4 in before they can either DI it, Nair, or jump out of it.

I find it's easy to do it on marth too.

 

[crazyforkillua]

Chain Throws are really easy to pull off when you train so start training

 

[Shade_]

Um it dosn't work on a good marth, after like the 2nd or 3rd throw, and nucks, it works on falco at "high" percentages, same for fox.

 

[KeepSpeedN]

uhmm what does f-tilt mean?

 

[KyUuKyUu]

Tilt the control stick forwards (so your character doesn't move) and press A. Check the all terms here thread in Melee Discussion (at least I think that's in there >_>)

 

[Bailey69]

Basically all fast fallers but not at low percentages becuase for Ex: like Falco he'll just fall to fast.

 

[Zero34]

yeah, that is what ive noticed. sometimes too fast, so i need higher percentages

okay thanks guys. but of course, anymore advice is still welcomed

 

[WaterTails]

It doesn't work too well when your opponent DI's, but against my friend, I just give him a high percentage and run to about where he will be

 

[Animal control]

It is down-throw and follow each direction they go. Also you could do it from 0% to death.

 

[runaway_mario]

but how many times could u do it to marth? he seems a little floaty to be grabbed over and over again

 

[Digamma]

There's no real set number of how many times you can chain throw a character because it all depends on the person playing. I.E. how good they DI, how god their nair timing is etc.

The F-Tilt in between the grab's is a great idea btw. (new to me)

And if you're just learning chain throwing, something I used to do (still do sometimes) which won't really help you at all but is fun is put on a lvl9 ganon and chain throw him to like 100% It' just amusing.

 

[Zero34]

floatier characters cant be chainthrown as well, neither can very fast fallers like fox and falco. everyone in between gets destroyed though. and yes, ftilts do help just like marth's utilt helps his chain throw on FF

 

[JFox]

Not to sound like a newb, but sometimes I am unclear who is considered what kind of faller. Mainly stuff like who is a semi-floaty vs. floaty (for example- game and watch).

Is there a list of what kind of faller every character is?

fast fallers are falcon falco and fox usually. look at a stats list to find out which characters fall at what rate. Should be in melee discussion or something.

There's no real set number of how many times you can chain throw a character because it all depends on the person playing. I.E. how good they DI, how god their nair timing is etc.

there is a set number according to the character, their percent, and which way they DI, but yeah things can get complicated

but how many times could u do it to marth? he seems a little floaty to be grabbed over and over again

If marth DI's away from you, you can chain grab him again to fairly high percents, if he doesnt DI you can chaingrab him to like 40-50% or something. But marth can get outta this if he DI's back and jumps. If you find a stupid marth that DI's back and doesnt jump you can do a tipper upsmash for good damage.

It is down-throw and follow each direction they go. Also you could do it from 0% to death.

Following the tech is good but you cant do it 0-death unless the opponent techs the same way every freakin time which is veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy unlikely

Eh?
It works on Falco?

you can't chain throw fox and falco at low percents, if you are doing so then your opponent sucks and doesnt know how to DI/jump outta grabs.

It is possible to chain throw falco and fox at high percents, but you might as well just go for the kill at that point.

 

[K1T3]

When Chaining Link and another sheik at low percents for example, should you jump cancel your grab or just do a regular dash grab? I find I can't chain either of them till around 50 so I'm not sure which grab I sould use, thx.

 

[Mcscruff]

you can do a regular grab chain grab on link from 0-death. id say the same for sheik

 

[Z-N_Freak]

Just Downthrow man xD
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, if it works, chain throw the hell autto them =P
Link is ***** by Sheiks Dthrow for example =)

edit:
aaahh, there was a second page... xD

 

[Plairnkk]

i mean you clearly can 0-death them. tech chasing spacies isn't about prediction, it's about reaction. if you know how to do it well enough, they could potentially never escape.

 

[flaco]

well to chaing grab marth is down throw with sheik but I find these useless because thats DI dependent

 

[CmRoddy]

I dont think so but this is just off the top of my head. I dont feel like turning the game on. Yea,the chain throws work on fast fallers like Gannondorf,Marth,Roy,Falco, etc

lol @ marth being a "fast faller"

 

[tw0 side]

Just down throw mid-fallers. Like some people said, it is pretty hard to chaingrab fastfallers at low percentages, so, I wouldn't reccomend it on fast fallers until about 40% or so.
