Which way to DI Shieks throws?

I play Diddy, and I seem to DI incorrectly and get F-aired for days. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is
it an auto combo against Diddy?

It pops you vaguely up. DI away from her (toward her front) and you should be out of range for any followup worth its salt. DI toward her back and you will always get followup'd on. This is opposite of back throw, which pops you vaguely up behind her, so that DI behind her escapes and DI toward her front gets you caught.

At some percents vs some characters, the chain grab is inescapable even with good di via boost grab. But in general do what 4tlas said

Sheik always has good movement. if it were me, I'd generally just try to get the **** outta there. Also, fast-fall and avoid the dash that comes after.
