(Um... This combo ain't true... at all. Lightweight, middle, heavy, even combo-fodder Ridley didn't work. Down throw just has too much end lag, most characters have like 4 frames *before he even jumps*. Am I just bad at it or is this just someone else not testing it?) |

The Ally Combo is a combo Mario can perform in Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It involves Mario performing an up throw, then following it with his down aerial before finishing the combo with another aerial (commonly a forward aerial) or Super Jump Punch.
The Ally Combo is named for Canadian smasher Ally, widely considered to be the best Mario player in the world during SSB4's lifespan.
Performance
The combo is performed by doing an up throw into a full-hop down aerial. The player can then followup with any of Mario's other aerials, typically forward aerial for optimal damage or up aerial for coverage and extended advantage situations. Up aerial is predominantly used as a finisher in most cases due to forward aerial not being true with certain DI.
In Super Smash Bros. 4, it is not a true combo. The long delay before down aerial's final hitbox allows characters with an air dodge or attack that is active before frame 4 to escape from the move, thus ending the combo. Since the combo is performed close to the ground, an opponent that air dodges will end up in landing lag by the time Mario's down aerial ends, allowing Mario to punish them. This means only characters with fast attacks can escape the combo. This combo generally works from around 0-30% on middleweights, though down aerial will send too far to followup with other aerials around 15-20%.
The combo is slightly more effective in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Down aerial's final hit comes out two frames faster than in SSB4.
