Even when the throw puts opponents into tumble, the throw is still highly useful due to its low ending lag along with Falco's tool kit. Depending on the opponent's DI, Falco can land {{mvsub|Falco|SSBB|Neutral attack/Hit 1|alt=the first hit of his neutral attack}} which is unavoidable. Below 60%, the jab will cancel the opponent's tumble state, which can then lead into Falco's [[jab cancel]] setups. Above 60%, the jab will no longer cancel the opponent's tumble state and if they DI down, there is a chance to knock the opponent onto the ground, opening a [[laser lock]] opportunity. However, this is too situational and difficult to perform to be effective. Falco can also go for another grab as a mixup when the opponent is in tumble, resetting the situation if he lands the grab. At higher percents, Falco can finish off his opponent with a [[DACUS]] which when performed perfectly, requires a buffered [[air dodge]] in order to avoid, making it a solid setup. These setups can be avoided however by DIing up although if Falco reads this DI, he can predict his opponents landing and potential punish it with either another grab or one of his aerials or even a smash smash. | Even when the throw puts opponents into tumble, the throw is still highly useful due to its low ending lag along with Falco's tool kit.

The only downside Falco's down throw has compared to a few other | The only downside Falco's down throw has compared to a few other down throws is that it is not capable of [[0-death]]ing any characters as it sends opponents into tumble once they reach around 50%, while still being completely ineffective as a KO move (although as mentioned before, a down throw into BDACUS is an effective followup at high percents depending on the opponent's DI). | ||
Overall, Falco's down throw is easily one of the best throws in the game due to its high damage racking potential, low knockback, low ending lag and high versatility, as well as working very well with Falco's moveset. | Overall, Falco's down throw is easily his best throw as well as one of the best throws in the game due to its high damage racking potential, low knockback, low ending lag and high versatility, as well as working very well with Falco's moveset. | ||
