Sheik Downthrow Options

[Wreck_94]

Does anyone have information when it comes to DI and percentages on sheik's Dthrow. Like what DI options are optimal at certain percentages. I know after about 35% DIing slightly behind and up lets you jump out. Just curious if anyone else had information on this.

Something I'd be curious to know is if port number has any effect. I know Yoshi, when on port 4, has 1 frame less hitstun after down throw and consequently, this allows one to jump out before getting regrabbed. It would be nice if this worked for Pikachu as well.

Yeah my doubles partner was talking to me about that because he's a Yoshi main. I haven't looked into it at all though.

I practiced this with Drephen at Apex, and I think we determined that you should DI away on the first grab, at low percent, when the timing is tighter, and then DI basically directly on top of them after that, to mix up the direction they need to face. At around 45%, you can get out by holding up and making mashing A for an upair, which I think is better than jumping since it puts you in a good position if they get hit. It's guaranteed up to that point, but I was able to get out fairly consistently after that.
