yeah, doc can do the 0-death chaingrabs so we can too. our grab mechanics are almost the same
and I think our D-throw chaingrabs are as difficult as ganon's . it's all prediction

just a side-note: when I purely press the Z button, sometimes I light shield and sometimes I grab. Idk whether it's where I press the button or how long I hold it or something. anyone know about this?
to fix this I just JC grab everything

if you press z when you are still in lag from another move then you will lightshield. if you arent in any sort of lag then you'll grab.

think about the marth lightshield edgehog where i think the best way to do it is to roll towards the edge and hold z while you're in roll and then youll lightshield on the edge.

and also I would just roll up to the ledge and do the manual light shield, didn't know about that trick haha

soul has it right, 75-80 percent is ideal though
DI doesn't affect it much because it has such tight timing, they simply don't have the time to DI away

That is assuming that D-throw chains at 80% are possible to do on reaction. I consider myself pretty consistent with throw combos, but for the life of me I can't do D-throw chains on spacies.

On an unrelated note, D-throw chains on Sheik, Link, and Pikachu are fun.

Pikachu is soooooooo easy. You basically have like a 0-death D-throw chaingrab on him. Your chaingrab on him works retardedly long, like I forget, until 100 or something? Then end that with Up-smash, or F-smash if he DIs to the side.

He really can't kill you either without a U-air gimp or Thunderflip or just landing a lucky Smash in general.

Yeah, he's kinda annoying if he knows how to play fast and evasive, just he doesn't get nearly as much reward for his stuff as Fox does most of the time. His stuff isn't quite as safe on shield either.

when i played anther, I Dthrow him everytime i get a chance. I do give it to anther on the Uair combos. i didnt even know that pika could be so dangerous in the right hands. lol i beat him in friendlies and lost to him in doubles.

mario's dthrow isn't the same as docs. mario's has 3/4 the growth of doc's, meaning we can't dthrow CG directly out of uthrow CG.
