I know I had a lot of trouble finding out what the optimal DI against certain grabs were as marth so I decided to ask you guys and compile a list.

Please specify the character, the throw, the DI, and the purpose.
For Example:
Captain Falcon
Down
Out and Away
avoid chain grabs
Notice here that the DI to avoid chaingrab isn't necessarily the same to avoid a Falcon dthrow knee. That's why stating the purpose is important.

The most important DIs I'd love to get information are falco/fox down (to avoid shine/dtilt), sheik down (to avoid chain grab/fair/uair), peach down (to avoid dsmash), marth forward (to avoid tipper)

Thanks!

Just tech Fox/Falco's d throw. For Marth's forward, DI down and away.
For sheik's d throw, I'm not really sure. away and you still get f tilted, but di that away and you should be safe. Idk how to avoid chaingrabz

For Sheik's Down Throw, away gives her the chaingrab, or ftilt into something that combos. In gives her a tipper up smash or uptilt that can combo. At high percents, no matter your DI, you will be hit by upair or fair depending on your DI which will most likely kill you or put you in an edge guard position. The only way to beat this is to tech on a platform and mix up how you tech, make her have to work for her followups.

So I don't know how you'd put all that into a simple list format lol.
