I keep playing as falco against my brothers jigglypuff, and he keeps doing that stupid thing were he grabs me, tosses me up, and then jumps up and rest, which of course one shots me into oblivion. How do I prevent this?

You can DI out of it but I don't remember which way to hold the sticks.

either way works i'm pretty sure. You need to react quickly when he grabs you in order to di the uthrow to the side to make it harder for him to hit the rest though.

It's also worth noting that if you do screw up the DI on the up throw and are clearly going to die, you should DI the rest such that you die off the side blast zones instead of getting star ko'd. That way, you at least get a chance to punish the rest on your next stock.

You will eventually get a better gamesense of when you're going to get grabbed and pre-DI without having to react to it

That's why unexpected grabs are a lot more dangerous in general (vs a lot of instant grabbers, like fox also)

All the things that other people said. You just need to DI as early as you possible can to either the left or right.

EDIT: And adjust whatever you're doing that gets you so frequently grabbed.

So I assume there is a specific time window that I have to throw the stick one way or another? I have to get him to practice it with me so I can get the timing down

Thanks for the replies

Also yeah I know getting grabbed is bad and I'm steadily getting better at avoiding it it's just when it does happen I feel like I'm screwed

a grab in that matchup is usually expected to be 60% (position equivelant) or death so don't get grabbed lol

well it's right as he grabs you 'til he throws you but it's better to anticipate the grab and already be holding in that direction in case he throws immediately

thanks, this is what I was looking for. I feel like im getting the timing down a little better but if he delays the throw he can usually bait me into a premature di attempt

You're not SDI-ing the throw, you're DI-ing it. You can't bait a premature di attempt by delaying a throw since you can just hold the control stick in one direction the entire time.

The entire point of jiggs using upthrow instantly is to get the throw out before you can DI. Comboing rest out of upthrow is only really possible on spacies if they go straight up. Any time the jiggs spends "delaying" is time you can spend mashing out or setting the DI.

The worst thing he can do is to mix up the throw direction (ie. back/forward throw), but anything's better than getting rested.

ya i mean if you do a bad mash by wiggling control stick you might end up doing some shitty di and get rested but you can mash with everything else
pretty sure you can't SDI a throw so just hold dat direction when you anticipate. DI obviously applies if you're already holding it (think about how many people get cc dsmashed by peach, lots of times they were holding in cause they were trying to dash dance)

There's no such thing as a "premature DI attempt"

Just hold the direction

If you prematurely hold a direction and the opponent mixes up the throw you can be screwed. Don't let the opponent condition you into DI'ing poorly.

well sometimes there's just an optimal catch-all DI
like you pretty much want to just DI all of falcon's shit out, up seems to work pretty good for me vs Peach, down on all of Marth's throws is good, etc.

If you prematurely hold a direction and the opponent mixes up the throw you can be screwed. Don't let the opponent condition you into DI'ing poorly.

Well, in this case, only uthrow and dthrow combo into rest, and dthrow has a century of startup time that you can react to. If you are at percents where fthrow or bthrow are gonna kill you, I don't think uthrow rest is an issue.
