[[File:SSBU Up Throw ROB.gif|thumb|250px|{{SSBU|R.O.B.}} using his up throw against {{SSBU|Sonic}} in ''Ultimate''.]]
'''Up throw''' is a [[throw]] performed by pressing up on the control stick after having a [[grab]]bed opponent.
An '''up throw''' ({{ja|上投げ|Ue nage}}, ''Up/above/upper throw''; commonly abbreviated as '''u-throw''' or '''Uthrow''', and referred to as '''ThrowHi''' internally) is a [[throw]] performed by tilting the [[control stick]] up after [[grab]]bing an 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|Kirby}} and {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}'s previous forward throws became their up throws, and they instead received new forward throws.

Due to their predominantly vertical knockback and generally moderate ending lag, up throws tend to be useful for starting [[combo]]s and [[chain grab]]s, especially in ''Melee''. Some also deal high enough knockback to KO opponents reliably, with a notable example being {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}'s up throw. From ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward, the changes to vertical [[knockback]] and the addition of [[hitstun canceling]] have indirectly reduced their effectiveness; for a handful of characters, their up throw is their least useful throw, as it can neither start combos as effectively as their [[down throw]] (with some of them lacking any guaranteed followups), nor KO as reliably as their forward or back throw. However, some characters' up throws remain an important part of their kit, such as [[R.O.B.]]'s, {{SSB4|Bowser}}'s in ''Smash 4'', and [[Diddy Kong]]'s in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''.


==List of up throws==
Up throws were introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' - in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', there were only [[forward throw]]s and [[back throw]]s. Some of the ''SSB'' characters had their old forward throw become their new up throw, such as {{SSBM|Kirby}}.
Up 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 up throws may possess a '''collateral hitbox''', which affects nearby opponents but not the victim of the throw.


{| class="wikitable"
Up throws are typically used for starting aerial combos. Some have such good knockback that they, in some cases, can be used to KO opponents. For some characters, such as {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}, it is the primary attack for [[KO]]ing an enemy.

==Notable up throws==
==List of up throws in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
*[[Fox]], [[Falco]], [[Mii Gunner]] and [[Kazuya]]'s up throws are the only ones to release [[projectile]]s, in the form of lasers that can be [[reflect]]ed and [[absorb]]ed. Fox fires three lasers that cause no knockback, much like those of [[Blaster (Fox)|his neutral special]]; likewise, Falco in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' fires three lasers that cause weak knockback. In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', Falco instead fires a single laser that deals much more knockback, and can be used to combo into aerial attacks at various percentages. Mii Gunner's up throw behaves similarly to Falco's, firing one laser in ''Smash 4'' and two in ''Ultimate''. Kazuya also fires a single laser and deals mostly diagonal knockback.
Dr Mario:Same as Mario's. 8 %
**{{SSBM|Fox}}'s up throw in ''Melee'' is also notable for its immense combo potential, leading into an [[up aerial]] even at high percentages, which is prominently used as a KO setup. In latter games, however, it has completely lost this potential due to receiving more ending lag, as well as the changes to vertical knockback.
 
*[[Kirby]] and [[Meta Knight]]'s up throws, as well as [[Charizard]]'s from ''Smash 4'' onward, involve quickly dragging the opponent to the top [[blast line]] offscreen, then crashing down towards the spot where the throw was initiated. This behavior results in particular side effects: the user can land on [[platform]]s above them (except Kirby in ''Melee'') and execute the throw at a higher position, allowing them to KO the opponent earlier; additionally, if they take damage from another source while they are at the top blast line (such as from a [[Gooey Bomb]] stuck to them, or throwing [[Link]] holding a {{b|Bomb|Link}} that automatically detonates), both characters can get KO'd off the top blast line mid-throw.
Mario:throws opponent upward. Good for an up-tilt following. 8% damage.
**[[R.O.B.]] and [[King K. Rool]]'s up throws likewise cause both the thrower and victim to leave the ground, and can be used to land on platforms above them, but they only rise a set distance upward instead of all the way to the blast line.
 
*Unlike other throws with hitboxes, [[Ryu]] and [[Ken]]'s up throws produce their hitbox ''after'' the opponent is released; therefore, while it can affect both the victim and nearby opponents, it can never hit the former under normal circumstances. This hitbox also deals considerably more damage and knockback than the throw itself on the grabbed opponent.
Luigi:Same as Mario's. 8 %
*[[Mewtwo]]'s up throw is the strongest in the series, especially in ''Melee'', where it can KO characters of average [[falling speed]] under 100%. In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', it can KO most characters under 150% without [[rage]].
 
**[[Charizard]]'s up throw in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' deals more knockback than Mewtwo's, KOing most characters under 140% from ground level, although due to its angle of 70°, [[DI]] has a much stronger effect on it, causing Mewtwo's to still be stronger overall. Nevertheless, it remains one of the strongest up throws in both games.
Bowser:throws his foe upward a short distance and on his shell, doing damage to the opponent while spinning. Has set knockback and can chaingrab fastfallers. 5%-9%
**In ''Brawl'', with the absence of Mewtwo, the strongest up throw is instead {{SSBB|Olimar}}'s with purple Pikmin, KOing under 130%.
 
*{{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}'s up throw in ''Melee'' is used to perform the [[space animal slayer]], a deadly low percent KO setup on Fox and Falco. In later games, it no longer possesses any guaranteed followups, except the [[Leaping Rest]] [[custom move|custom]] [[down special]] in ''Smash 4'' if equipped.
Peach:Punches foe in the gut, forcing them up. Can chain grab any characters except fast fallers at 0%. Fast faller must be around 40% damage in order to chain grab this way. She can finish with sweetspotted up smash, or up aerial on everyone at above 100%. 4-9%
*{{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Roy}}'s up throws in ''Melee'' are useful for [[chain grab]]bing and starting combos on [[fast faller]]s at various percents, while they are also among the strongest up throws in the game, KOing characters of average falling speed under 180% and 160% respectively without DI. In later games, they can no longer be used for combos or chain grabs, but retain their utility as emergency KO moves at very high percents, a trait that also carries over to [[Lucina]] and [[Chrom]].
 
*{{SSB4|Bowser}}'s up throw in ''Smash 4'' is a defining part of his playstyle, possessing very low ending lag compared to others (11 [[frame]]s) that allows it to combo into aerial attacks at nearly any percentage, most notably a [[neutral aerial]] at low to mid percentages to rack up large amounts of damage, and an up aerial at high percentages as a KO setup. In ''Ultimate'', its combo potential has been significantly reduced to the point it can only lead into a forward or up aerial at low percentages, but as a partial tradeoff, it deals much more damage by itself.
Yoshi:Chunks the opponent upwards. 4% damage.
**[[Diddy Kong]]'s up throw in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' is similar, possessing deceptively low ending lag (9 frames) that gives it immense combo potential, although it deals less damage and only has KO setups if initiated on a high enough platform.
 
*{{SSB4|Sonic}}'s up throw in ''Smash 4'' can easily combo into any of his aerials from mid to high percentages if followed up with a [[Spring Jump]], which can also be used as a KO setup if initiated on a high platform. Aside from this, it can combo into an up aerial at low percentages. In ''Ultimate'', however, its [[ending lag]] has been increased, which in combination with the faster knockback physics drastically worsens its Spring Jump-based followups.
Donkey Kong:Throws foe above him with one hand. 9% damage
*[[Kazuya]]’s up throw is his only throw that does not have the camera briefly shift to a unique angle in 1v1 matches.
 
Captain Falcon:Punches foe upward. Yet another mysterious throw where Falcon supposedly only hits the foe once, although has two separate hitboxes. Foes usually fall straight down afterward, at lower damage percentages can lead into his side special and aerial follow-ups. 4% then 3%
 
Ganondorf: Knocks his foe above him. 3% then 4%, adds up to 7%. Excellent set up for juggles and can be an effective chainthrow at low percentages and fastfallers at mid percentages.
 
==List of up throws in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
 
*[[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]]: Mario throws his opponent high into the air. Good base [[knockback]] but it has low knockback scaling. It can be followed by an up aerial [[juggle]] but is mostly inferior to the [[down throw]] for setting up. 8%.
*[[Luigi (SSBB)|Luigi]]: Luigi faces the viewer and tosses the enemy upward. It is a throw that is inferior to his down throw for setting up due to its higher knockback. 8%.
*[[Peach (SSBB)|Peach]]: Puts opponent above her, and volleys them upward. A hit of 2%, follow by 6%, making a total of 8%.
*[[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser]]: Bowser tosses foe upwards, retreats into his shell, and spins, damaging the foe with his spikes. Decent but set knockback. 8 hits of 1%.
*[[Donkey Kong (SSBB)|Donkey Kong]]: Swings his arm back and throws the opponent. A very good [[KO]] throw, it has a fast start-up. 9%.
*[[Diddy Kong (SSBB)|Diddy Kong]]: Throws opponent up and kicks them. 9%.
*[[Yoshi (SSBB)|Yoshi]]: Spits the opponent upwards. 5%.
*[[Wario (SSBB)|Wario]]: Throws them into the air and jumps up, headbutting them. Good against characters with poor air defense/easy to juggle characters. Can lead to rising fully charged [[Wario Waft]] against many characters, and also put them in a good position for [[up aerial]]s. First hit does 4%, then 6%.
*[[Link (SSBB)|Link]]: Throws foe a very short distance above him, then slashes. Can KO at high percents. Does 7% [[damage]].
*[[Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda]]: Telekinetically twirls opponent above her head, then releases them upward. Does 11%.
*[[Sheik (SSBB)|Sheik]]: Sheik flips upside-down and kicks the enemy with both of her feet. Does 3%, then 2%.
*[[Ganondorf (SSBB)|Ganondorf]]: Throws opponent upward and jabs his/her back. A poor throw that isn't strong enough to KO under 200%, but has too high of base knockback to be effective at setting up more attacks at low percentages. 7% damage.
*[[Toon Link (SSBB)|Toon Link]]: Throws opponent upward and slashes them. 7% damage. Same as Link.
*[[Samus (SSBB)|Samus]]: Spins above her head and blasts opponent upward. Gradually deals a total of 9% damage.
*[[Zero Suit Samus (SSBB)|Zero Suit Samus]]: Flips into the air and kicks the opponent. Deals 2%, then 8% damage, total of 10%.
*[[Pit (SSBB)|Pit]]: Does a handstand and kicks opponent with both feet causing 11% damage.
*[[Ice Climbers (SSBB)|Ice Climbers]]: Throw upwards then smash with hammer doing 6%. Can K.O at 469%. (Probably never going to).
*[[R.O.B. (SSBB)|R.O.B.]]: Grabs opponent, flies them into the air a short distance, turns them upside down, then crashes them into the ground (Similar to Olimar, Kirby or Meta Knight's up throw). 10% damage.
*[[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]]: Air Drop" from Kirby's Ninja ability in Kirby Super Star and his Backdrop from "Adventure". Kirby flies off the top of the screen, and comes back down violently in an explosion, like a Warp Star item. Somewhat average knockback. Meta Knight shares this move as well except without the explosion and inflicts more damage. Does 10% damage.
*[[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]]: Like Kirby's, he jumps into the air holding his foe, and then crashes down. The differences are that this throw doesn't create an explosion, like Kirby's, and has less launch power. Can KO at very high percents. 12% damage. 
*[[King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede]]: Hits opponent upward by sticking both his hands upward. Can set up a up aerial or a down aerial against heavy/fastfalling opponents at very low percentages as well as KOing in Sudden Death. But Dedede's up throw is often neglected and rarely used because is others, better throws. Does 9%.
*[[Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar]]: Pikmin leaps into the air (while holding opponent), turns the opponent upside-down, then slams them into the ground. With the purple pikmin, it is by far the strongest up throw in the game, being even able to star KO under 125%. It is overall the second strongest throw in the game (only Ness's back throw is stronger). Red: 9%, Blue: 12%, Yellow: 11%, White: 6%, Purple: 11%.
*[[Fox (SSBB)|Fox]]: Throws opponent up and shoots them with his Blaster. The shots can be avoided using DI. Up to 8% damage (if all the shots hit).
*[[Falco (SSBB)|Falco]]: Throws opponent upward and shoots his blaster straight up. The throw deals 2%, and the lasers deal 6% for a total of 8% if all shots hit. Nearly useless at higher percentages due to it being easy to DI out of, allowing the opponent to avoid all laser shots.
*[[Wolf (SSBB)|Wolf]]: Throws the opponent upward and slashes them with both claws. It´s base knockback is too strong for Wolf to effectively follow up on. Does 7% damage.
*[[Captain Falcon (SSBB)|Captain Falcon]]: Holds the enemy up and punches them upward with his left hand. Mainly upwards knockback, though it appears to be slightly angled. Can combine with other attacks well, such as his [[up special move]] and up aerial. 3%, then 4%. This is one of Falcon's more powerful throws knockback-wise.
*[[Pikachu (SSBB)|Pikachu]]: Headbutts opponent upward. Can combo with Thunder. 10% damage.
*[[Charizard (SSBB)|Charizard]]: Sets opponent above itself, then slams them with its head. Does 11% damage.
*[[Ivysaur (SSBB)|Ivysaur]]: Grabs opponent with vines and bounces them into the air with the bud on its back. Not quite as powerful as back throw, but still strong however. Does 10% damage. Good for Bullet seed combos.
*[[Squirtle (SSBB)|Squirtle]]: Throws its opponent upward and tackles them while in its shell. Also has moderate KO power above 150% damage. Does 11% damage.
*[[Lucario (SSBB)|Lucario]]: Uses aura to hit the opponent upwards with its paw. Initial damage is 4%. Extremely low knockback and damage increase (even with Aura) make this able to be combined with other attacks at practically any realistic combat percent. Does 8% with increased knockback at 168% where it caps. Lucario's best throw to set up a follow up attack( up tilt and up smash particularly). Can chain throw heavyweights and fast fallers.
*[[Jigglypuff (SSBB)|Jigglypuff]]: Spins once and sends opponent up. Does 10% damage. Good finisher.Often OHKO on matches where enemies' launch resistance is decreased, such as Easy/Normal level of [[All-Star Mode]] or [[Multi-Man Mode]].
*[[Marth (SSBB)|Marth]]: Powerful upward throw with one arm. This is Marth's only powerful throw and it can KO lighter characters under 200% and it is also his only killing throw in Sudden Death. Otherwise, there is not much use for it. Does 4% damage.
*[[Ike (SSBB)|Ike]]: Ike throws Ragnell into the ground and uppercuts the target into the air with one hand. 6% damage.
*[[Ness (SSBB)|Ness]]: Psychokinetically spins the opponent above his head before sending them up. Leads into many PK Thunder tricks and juggles. Good knockback for an up throw, though the opponent will have to be around 200% to actually KO. 10% damage.
*[[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]]: Psychokinetically tosses opponent straight up. 10% damage.
*[[Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB)|Mr. Game & Watch]]: He juggles the enemy as a ball and then the enemy is launched upward. 8% damage.
*[[Snake (SSBB)|Snake]]: Back suplex, similar to Jigglypuff's back throw. Does 10%.
*[[Sonic (SSBB)|Sonic]]: Tosses the opponent slightly above him and then lands on his hands as if to do a push-up. His quills harden just before they make contact and the foe is shot upwards and at an angle. 12% damage in two quick hits. Excellent juggle early on, and great for follow-ups with Spring Jump later, though advanced players will horizontally DI. This throw is one of the most damaging in the game percentage wise, and its knockback can KO lightweights at high percentages.
 
== Notable up throws ==
Characters with notable up throws include:
*[[Mewtwo (SSBM)|Mewtwo]]: The strongest in ''Melee'' by far, and one of the strongest in the whole Smash Bros. series, it is one of Mewtwo's best finishing moves.
*[[Roy (SSBM)|Roy]]: The second strongest in ''Melee'', it can easily be used to chain grab fast-fallers.
*[[Marth (SSBM)|Marth]]: The third strongest in ''Melee''. Just like Roy, it can be used to chain grab fast-fallers.
*[[Jigglypuff (SSBM)|Jigglypuff]]: similar to Mewtwo's, but with less knockback. It is used for [[Space Animal Slayer|Space Animal Slaying]].
*[[Mr. Game & Watch]] (in both [[Mr. Game & Watch (SSBM)|''Melee'']] and [[Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB)|''Brawl'']]): The only up throw to release the opponent at an angle.
*[[Kirby]] (in [[Kirby (SSBM)|''Melee'']] and ''Brawl'' only) and [[Meta Knight]]: Very similar in appearance to a [[Warp Star]], except that the opponent is launched upwards and slammed down with the character, and the trajectory cannot be altered. As with a Warp Star, as Kirby/Meta Knight and the opponent come down from above the stage, it can be used to "leap" to a higher part of the stage. In ''Brawl'', Kirby's up throw can be used as a [[Kirbycide]] from the left edge of the lowermost [[platform]] of [[Hyrule: Temple]] when facing right, and from the right edge of the bottom platform of [[Skyworld]].
*[[Sonic (SSBB)|Sonic]]: Delivers the most damage of all up throws in ''Brawl'' (not including those of characters under the effects of Final Smashes like [[Wario Man]] or [[Giga Bowser]]) dealing 12% damage.
*[[Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar]]: The most powerful in ''Brawl'' with the purple pikmin.
