[[File:Forward Throw.gif|frame|{{SSBB|Kirby}}'s forward throw in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.]]
The '''forward throw''' ({{ja|前投げ|Mae nage}}, ''Front/forward throw''; commonly abbreviated as '''f-throw''' or '''Fthrow''', and referred to as '''ThrowF''' internally) is a [[throw]] performed by tilting the [[control stick]] in the direction the character is facing after having [[grab]]bed the opponent.


Forward throws are often used to launch the opponent away, and a few can be used to [[chain grab]] (prior to ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'') or start [[combo]]s. Forward throws are usually not as good of KO moves as [[back throw]]s (outside of a few exceptions such as [[Wario]]'s), nor are they as good combo starters as [[down throw]]s (aside from [[Kirby]]); as such, they are generally the least useful throw for most characters, and are only preferred for setting up [[edgeguard]]s.
The '''Forward throw''' is a [[throw]] performed by pressing forward on the control stick after having [[grab|grabbed]] the enemy.  Most forward throws have neither the power nor the comboability to be very useful.

==List of forward throws==
[[Mario]]:Spins the opponent one circle forward. Good knockback but not as strong as his back throw.
Forward throws with hitboxes consist of two or more hits on the grabbed opponent (the hitbox, then the throw), and can affect other opponents near the thrower. Additionally, some forward throws may possess a '''collateral hitbox''', which affects nearby opponents but not the victim of the throw.

===Notes===
Notable throws include
{{reflist}}
*[[Peach]]'s a good KO throw in Melee, but rarely a KO throw in Brawl.
*Wario's forward throw (spinning like Mario's back throw and Wario's can KO at high percentages),
*[[Ness]] one (arguably the strongest at 0%),
*[[DK]]'s can carry opponents around.
*[[Marth]] can be used to [[chain grab|chain throw]].


==Notable forward throws==
==See Also==
*[[Donkey Kong]]'s forward throw in all games is unique in that rather than throwing the opponent, it triggers another grab state unique to Donkey Kong, where he carries the opponent on his back the same way he does with heavy [[item]]s. This state is known as the '''cargo''' (officially '''Kong Karry''' via ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [[tips]]), and allows Donkey Kong to move and jump while holding the opponent, as well as perform four '''cargo throws''' (two in ''Smash 64'') by pressing the attack button alongside a direction, giving him a total of seven throws. However, like regular grabs, the carried opponent can break free via [[button mashing]], triggering a [[grab release]].
*[[Back throw]]
**Due to its extreme versatility, Donkey Kong's cargo is one of his most useful moves in all its appearances. Notably, it can be used to carry the opponent offstage and [[stage spike]] them, KOing them at higher percentages if they fail to [[tech]]. In ''Smash 64'', the opponent takes damage upon breaking free from it, which can be exploited for the [[infinite throw trap]] (this also works in ''Brawl'' against {{SSBB|Ness}} and {{SSBB|Lucas}}). Lastly, in ''Melee'', ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', Donkey Kong's upward cargo throw is a reliable combo starter and even possesses a KO setup into his up aerial at mid-high percentages in ''Smash 4'', which is colloquially known as the "Ding-Dong" and serves as his most effective KO option.
*[[Up throw]]  
*[[Mewtwo]]'s forward throw is the only one to release [[projectile]]s, in the form of Shadow Balls that can be [[reflect]]ed and [[absorb]]ed. In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', it is one of the most damaging forward throws if all projectiles connect.
*[[Down throw]]
*{{SSBM|Kirby}}'s forward throw in ''Melee'' causes him to functionally leave the ground, and can be used for a [[Kirbycide]]. However, it depletes all of Kirby's jumps, and it is one of the only two standard throws in the series that can be escaped without receiving external knockback (the other being his back throw). From ''Brawl'' onward, it no longer exhibits these properties, making it a reliable combo starter, especially in ''Brawl'' at low percentages.
*[[Corrin]]'s forward throw possesses a [[tipper]] hitbox that only affects nearby opponents, and can KO considerably earlier than the throw itself. This is also the case for his back throw.
*[[Ness]]' forward throw in all games except ''Smash 64'' is notable for having extremely high base knockback, but extremely low knockback scaling, which allows it to set up edgeguards easily and KO very early near the horizontal [[blast line]]s (such as in walk-off stages or [[Smashville]]'s platform), but makes it extremely weak otherwise, not KOing opponents until at least 900% from the center of {{SSBU|Final Destination}}.
**In ''Smash 64'', Ness' forward throw has lower base knockback but has much higher knockback scaling and damage dealing 16%. It is the strongest forward throw not only in the game but the series being able to KO {{SSB|Mario}} at around 105% from the center of {{SSB|Dream Land}}.
**[[Villager]] and [[Isabelle]]'s forward throws have similar properties, and are even weaker, failing to KO from the center stage even at 999%.
*[[Marth]]'s forward throw in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' is an effective [[tech-chasing]] option against heavyweights and fast fallers, due to its low knockback and ending lag. In ''Smash 4'', its base knockback was greatly increased, removing this ability, although it can still combo into his [[Crescent Slash]] [[custom move|custom]] [[up special]], or a [[forward aerial]] at low percentages. In ''Ultimate'', however, the faster knockback physics and removal of custom specials have resulted in it losing all its combo potential.
*{{SSBM|Peach}}'s forward throw in ''Melee'' is the strongest in the game, KOing most characters at around 110% at the edge. From ''Brawl'' onward, its power has been reduced, not KOing until around 170% at the edge, and being weaker than her back throw in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''.
*{{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}'s forward throw in ''Melee'' is unique in that the throw's intended knockback is overridden by the pre-throw hitbox's much higher knockback; this makes it the second strongest forward throw in the game, KOing most characters at around 140% at the edge. In later games, however, the throw works properly, and the move is significantly weaker, as a result, being unable to KO under 400% even at the edge.
*{{SSBB|R.O.B.}}'s forward throw in ''Brawl'' is the fastest throw in the series, releasing opponents as soon as [[frame]] 2.
*In ''Smash 4'', the forward throws of [[Bowser]], [[Pit]], [[Dark Pit]], and [[Wario]] are all among the strongest in the game, KOing at around 130% near the edge.
**However, in ''Ultimate'', Wario's forward throw is no longer among the strongest, it can only KO after 160% near the edge.
**[[Incineroar]]'s forward throw is considered the strongest in ''Ultimate'' after patch [[8.0.0]], it can KO even below 110% near the edge.
*[[Mr. Game %26 Watch]]'s forward throw and back throw are identitcal.
