King K. Rool | {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s [[forward throw]] is the source of his main bread and butter combo at 0%, that being forward throw into [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Dash attack|dash attack]]. In addition, this combo is always true due to forward throw not sending into tumble until 10.9% (tested on Mario), and throws cannot be [[SDI]]'d either, making it impossible to escape. Once it sends into tumble however, the combo can be escaped by [[DI]]-ing up and away. If opponents don't know how to DI this confirm post-tumble, getting a grab confirm with pre-tumble [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Forward aerial|forward aerial]] before going into the combo leads to heavy damage. [[Crownerang]] makes a good followup instead in these scenarios. | ||
Forward throw can also be used for platform tech situations at around 30% (considering [[Battlefield]] as the example), allowing for a virtually guaranteed [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Forward aerial|forward aerial]], [[Blunderbuss]] Kannonball or Crownerang. This can be used for further play extensions thereafter, although it is risky and not always true. If opponents DI in and K. Rool remains close, [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Down aerial|down aerial]] is a difficult but possible follow-up. | |||
Once the throw's followups are exhausted, forward throw is usually used for advancing game state and building momentum. This is done through [https://www.dustloop.com/wiki/index.php?title=Okizeme okizeme]-style techniques just after dash attack stops working, particularly with Crownerang. If opponents don't jump, it can lead into high-pressure situations that usually end in K. Rool's favor. Simply dashing at opponents afraid of the threat of this and catching their jumps with [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Up aerial|up aerial]] is also a solid mixup. | |||
Forward throw is also used for positioning when near the ledge, for setting up ledgetrap situations. However, after ~60%, [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Down throw|down throw]] to [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Neutral attack|neutral attack]] is preferred for more damage. The DI mixup is very useful for confirming [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Back aerial|back aerial]] [[meteor smash]]es however, which is true if opponents DI in at around 25%, although it is extremely difficult to pull off. | |||
Forward throw also has a collateral damage hitbox for multiple opponents; this allows it to hit both of the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, [[Luma]] and {{SSBU|Olimar}}'s [[Pikmin]]. | Forward throw also has a collateral damage hitbox for multiple opponents; this allows it to hit both of the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, [[Luma]] and {{SSBU|Olimar}}'s [[Pikmin]]. This hitbox uses the opponent's [[hurtbox]] during the throw, and uses the actual throw's statistics. In doubles this can be very useful for [[lock]] combos at lower [[percentage]]s, and for kill confirms at higher ones. | ||
Forward throw does have flaws, however. Very few of the move's followups are actually true combos | Forward throw does have flaws, however. Very few of the move's followups are actually true combos, due to the angle opponents are sent: K. Rool's moves don't connect into it very well. Forward throw into dash attack is by far its biggest saving grace. The damage dealt by non-true interactions are also generally worse than [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Up throw|up throw's]], meaning that outside of dash attack range, forward throw plays are seen as suboptimal outside of advancing game state by K. Rool's playerbase. | ||
