Iunno.. whenever I'm fooling around in Training mode, I can use his DThrow across FD against the CPU :/

If I have the time, I'll try to get a vid up sometime during the week :D

He can when your opponent is at low damage, however its MUCH easier to do it on a computer than a human. Also, its much harder and sometimes not possible against some lighter characters.

Most of the time, if your opponent knows how to DI out of it, you'll only be able to connect 2 throws. It works best when you catch your opponent off-guard.

These are some good chain-grab combos to keep in mind:

1) D-throw > D-throw > Dash attack > U-tilt
2) D-throw > D-throw > Mach Tornado/F-air/D-air
3) D-throw > U-throw > Shuttle Loop
4) F-throw > F-throw > Mach tornado/F-air (against heavy characters)

Hope this helps :)

EDIT: MK doesn't have any true chaingrabs. Sorry, I use the term chaingrab loosely.

None of his throws can chain, every character has a way out of them. You guys are playing against people who don't know how to stop them, that's all.

How do you get out of a chain grab? I played a falco that could chain grab me to like 40-50% and I had no clue how to get out of it...didn't have time to nair and DIing didn't seem to do anything.

The point of a CG is that it's unescapable. Inescapable. Something.

he cant chaingrab. 2 throws in a row isnt a chaingrab :D. Also, a true chain grab is: DDD's, pikas on fox, falcos.

it may not be a true chaingrab, but i do pull this off even on good players, and its pretty darn satisfying. The key is to always keep them guessing about which throw you will use, as well as what you will follow up with.

They can DI at the last second before you grab them the second time. You might catch them by surprise on the first time if you're playing someone weak, but other than that, no.

Noob question. What does it mean to tech out of something?
lets say your character gets grabbed by MK then he downtrows, once you hit the ground, press l or r and left or right on the joystick and you'll roll in that direction after you are thrown upon contact to the ground. If you don't hold any direction and just press l /r you will just stand upright after hitting the ground

shiek used to chaingrab in melee. so did marth. but some of these were inescapeable. if u can pull off 3 grabs on someone in a row i loosely call it a chaingrab. mindgamed or not =P

pardon if anyone could dissagree with me but this is true with MK when falco uses his CG u can DI like u were going to inside him and quickly and with good timing u can footstool and get out of his CG I do that almost everytime. with mk , I don't know with other characters
