A '''down throw''' ({{ja|下投げ|Shita nage}}, ''Down/lower/under throw''; commonly abbreviated as '''d-throw''' or '''Dthrow''', and referred to as '''ThrowLw''' internally), is a [[throw]] performed by tilting the [[control stick]] down after having [[grab]]bed the opponent. They were introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''; in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', there were only [[forward throw]]s and [[back throw]]s. In the transition to ''Melee'', {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}'s previous forward throw became his down throw, and he instead received a new forward throw. | A '''down throw''' ({{ja|下投げ|Shita nage}}, ''Down/lower/under throw''; commonly abbreviated as '''d-throw''' or '''Dthrow''', and referred to as '''ThrowLw''' internally), commonly abbreviated as '''d-throw''', is a [[throw]] performed by tilting the [[control stick]] down after having [[grab]]bed the opponent.

Because of this, they are excellent [[combo]] starters for several characters throughout all games, acting as the go-to throw when the opponent is at low to medium percentages or even high percentages depending on the specific down throw's combo potential. In ''Melee'' and ''[[Brawl]]'', many down throws can also be used for [[chain grab]]s, most notably {{SSBM|Sheik}}'s in ''Melee'' and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s in ''Brawl'', even leading to [[zero-to-death]] combos against some characters. However, despite their vertical launch angle and low knockback, some down throws possess too much ending lag to allow for any true combos, such as [[Toon Link]]'s, [[Zero Suit Samus]]'s in ''[[Ultimate]]'', and [[Duck Hunt]]'s, while still failing to KO at realistic percentages; such throws are generally considered useless and ignored in favor of the characters' other throws. | ||

*{{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}'s down throw in ''Smash 4'' is notable for easily comboing into aerial attacks against nearly any character, even at high percents, which originally allowed for a guaranteed KO setup into an up aerial. This ability to easily both combo and KO opponents initially created controversy over the character in competitive play and the KO setup was infamously known as the "Hoo-Hah", due to {{sm|StaticManny}} shouting the phrase whenever it happened to {{sm|Hungrybox}} in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB-6oRB4ABo/ a set] vs. {{sm|Player-1}} at [[Paragon Orlando 2015]]. However, updates [[1.0.6]] and [[1.0.8]] severely [[nerf]]ed Diddy Kong, decreasing his down throw's combo potential and his up aerial's KO potential, effectively removing the setup. | *{{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}'s down throw in ''Smash 4'' is notable for easily comboing into aerial attacks against nearly any character, even at high percents, which originally allowed for a guaranteed KO setup into an up aerial.

*{{SSB4|Luigi}} and {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}} in ''Smash 4'' have the down throws with the best combo potential, giving them a large number of combos in comparison to most other characters: Luigi's down throw can combo into up smash, any of his aerials, Luigi Cyclone and even Super Jump Punch to KO, while Mr. Game & Watch's can combo into jab, up tilt or up smash at low percents, then into any aerial, [[Fire]], [[Oil Panic]], or [[Judge]] - the last of which can lead to a [[one-hit KO]] if it rolls a #9. | *{{SSB4|Luigi}} and {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}} in ''Smash 4'' have the down throws with the best combo potential, giving them a large number of combos in comparison to most other characters: Luigi's down throw can combo into up smash, any of his aerials, Luigi Cyclone and even Super Jump Punch to KO, while Mr. Game & Watch's can combo into jab, up tilt or up smash at low percents, then into any aerial, [[Fire]], [[Oil Panic]], or [[Judge]] - the last of which can lead to a [[one-hit KO]] if it rolls a #9. | ||
**In ''Ultimate,'' Mr. Game & Watch's down throw was nerfed, receiving slightly higher knockback and endlag, although it still remains a reliable combo starter at low to mid percents and can one-hit KO into a #9 from Judge. | **[[File:Ball Drop.png|thumb|Mr. Game & Watch looking at {{SSBU|Mythra}}'s dropped stock icon after performing his down throw on her.]]In ''Ultimate,'' Mr. Game & Watch's down throw was nerfed, receiving slightly higher knockback and [[ending lag|endlag]], although it still remains a reliable [[combo]] starter at low-to-mid percents and can one-hit KO into a #9 from Judge, but this deprives its combo potential at mid-to-high precents. Despite this, down throw is Mr. Game & Watch's most strongest KO throw because of its strong knockback of any type of down throw by its kind, now successfully possessing the ability to KO at realistic precents, significantlly overshadowing its nerf and making it significantlly buffed overall. Also, the animation depicts Mr. Game & Watch's eyes following the dropped [[stock|stock icon]]; unlike his other throws. | ||
**In contrast to Mr. Game & Watch, Luigi's down throw was actually overall buffed, having slightly less endlag and knockback, and when combined with his faster jumpsquat, buffed aerials, and combo game, has become notorious for its ability to set up highly damaging combos and occasionally a [[zero-to-death]] | **In contrast to Mr. Game & Watch, Luigi's down throw was actually overall buffed, having slightly less endlag and knockback, and when combined with his faster jumpsquat, buffed aerials, and combo game, has become notorious for its ability to set up highly damaging combos and occasionally a [[zero-to-death]]. | ||
*{{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}'s down throw in ''Smash 4'' is notable for comboing into aerial attacks against nearly any characters until high percent.

If there any platforms there, he can do follow-ups like two-four up aerials and can finish into his Super Jump Punch. This combo was used infamously in the ''Smash 4'' meta; which in ''Ultimate'' reduced his combo to become much harder to follow-up into up-tilt, although his combo potential into up-aerial from ''Smash 4'' is still a viable tool in the ''Ultimate'' Meta. | ||
