The only way you can get altgrabs down is by practicing. Also, some variants of altgrabs are easier on certain characters. For example, I can Fthrow altgrab Lucario and Wolf all day long but for some reason I can't do it on Snake. I find it easier to Dthrow altgrab snake. Practice different variants to find out which one works best for you on certain characters.

If you can get the Fthrow variant down though, it is the preferred method because Fthrow deals more damage.

Also, Dthrow->Fair->Block resets work against people that can't tech. and against people that CAN tech, you could mindgame them by delaying your throws sometimes and making them miss it.


Hope this helps. :)

I should also mention that for F-Throw, the timing isn't any different its just with characters like Snake and Metaknight you have less room for error. So I would suggest practicing the F-Throw variation because the timing isn't different while with the D-Throw it's harder to do on different characters and as the damage percentage gets higher, there is less and less room for error.
