question about a sheik post on upthrow to knee

it's just that they talk a lot about upthrow to knee at mid percents..which i don't do much...i always thought you should just link some nairs into something...one knee isn't going to knock them far enough out to prevent them getting back at that percent if they di. i would think.

anyways, guess i'll ask again about throws on sheik..

at low percentage you techchase dthrow usually or upthrow to nair...i don't remember if dthrow to nair works...it works on marth at least

at mid percentage you upthrow to upair if they di away? and nair if they don't..and then try to link it into a knee or something else...at least that's what i've done.

I'm just confused why i would go for a knee at those percentages except perhaps if they are thinking to di away and up to get out of a nair or upair combo

If you force the Sheik to recover using her up b, you're in good shape because Falcon simply forces Sheik onto the stage and recyclesrape on her over and over.

If you think the knee will not connect, uair. It's almost always safer at lower %s and often times has more flexible combo ability than nairs.

ok..that's true..i'd forgotten about that..just ledgehog and hope they don't teleport too far on stage for you to get to them..i'm not a falcon main so i forget about these things..i play falcon like once a month;p

so no nairs out of throws in general or just with sheik? because marth seems to get chained really easy out of dthrows

uair is generally better in the matchup unless the Sheik knows to always DI away at these mid %s, in which case you mix it up with a knee attempt (at slightly higher-mid %s)

Sheik is not really much like Marth, she generally recoverys slightly sooner from combos and is smaller and harder to combo nairs on, as opposed to Marth who is floaty and slightly larger (atleast it seems so)

uthrow to full jump knee at 90-100%~

 

[Cort]

It starts comboing around 60-70%, no matter the DI.

It starts comboing around 60-70%, no matter the DI.

Good to know. I always thought it starts at 80ish.

uthrow uair from 40-70. uthrow knee from 70-100 or so.
