Kirby's forward throw in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

The forward throw (前投げ, 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 grabbed 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 combos. Forward throws are usually not as good of KO moves as back throws (outside of a few exceptions such as Wario's), nor are they as good combo starters as down throws (aside from Kirby); as such, they are generally the least useful throw for most characters, and are only preferred for setting up edgeguards.

List of forward throws[edit]

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.

Notable forward throws[edit]

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 items. 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.
- 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 Ness and 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.
Mewtwo's forward throw is the only one to release projectiles, in the form of Shadow Balls that can be reflected and absorbed. In Smash 4 and Ultimate, it is one of the most damaging forward throws if all projectiles connect.
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 lines (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 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 Mario at around 105% from the center of 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 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.
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.
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.
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 & Watch's forward throw and back throw are identitcal.

[ink-1] The hitbox is not active if Inkling has no ink left, resulting in only the throw.

[hitbox-2] The hitbox is not present in the NTSC-J version.

 |-
-|{{SSBB|Bowser}}||Launches foe forward using his head. Decently low knockback; will rarely KO even when relatively close to a walk-off [[blast line]].||10%.
+|[[Mr. Game & Watch]]||Juggles the opponent as a ball from back to front, then tosses them forward.||{{n|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}||Punches the opponent forward. Can be followed by an up smash out of a dash for a KO at very high percentages, and the throw itself has some KO power at high percentages. Can also be followed with his dash attack, or even a [[Falcon Kick]] at mid percents. Can be used to pseudo-chain throw the opponent at very low percentages due to Captain Falcon's very fast [[dashing]] speed.||4% then 5%.
+|[[Mythra]]||Blasts the opponent with a magic blast.||{{y|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Charizard}}||Grabs opponent in its jaws, spins them, then releases them in front of itself. A pseudo-chaingrab on many characters at base or close to base percents.||10%.
+|[[Ness]]||Twirls the opponent around once with PSI, then tosses them.||{{GameIcon|SSB}} {{y|16}} <small>(collateral)</small><br/>{{GameIcon|SSBM}}{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}} {{n|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}||Tosses opponent forward with decent knockback. Very similar animation to his back throw, but does more damage and less knockback.||11%.
+|[[Olimar]]||{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}} The Pikmin grabbing the opponent tosses them forward.<br/>{{GameIcon|SSBU}} The Pikmin grabbing the opponent slam them onto the ground in front of Olimar.||{{n|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}||Regardless of the opponent's size, DK heaves the opponent onto his back, just like carrying a [[crate]] or a [[barrel]]. Can be released and regrabbed if he can react quicker, being an infinite on {{SSBB|Lucas}} and {{SSBB|Ness}} when turn releasing and turn grabbing. Pressing up and A makes DK toss his opponent upward, pressing down and A makes him throw them forward like a bowling ball (on a [[semi-spike]] trajectory), pressing forward and A makes him toss the opponent forward, and pressing back and A makes him heave the opponent backward. Donkey Kong is unable to use his forward throw on enemies in the Subspace Emissary, making him the only character unable to use one of his standard throws in said mode (if the input for the forward throw is used, he will use his up throw instead.)||6% (if opponent breaks free), 8% (forward throw), 8% (back throw), 7% (up throw), 6% (down throw).
+|[[Pac-Man]]||Shoves the opponent.||{{n|16}}

-|{{SSBB|Ganondorf}}||Punches his opponent forward. High damage for a throw and good power. Consists of two hits, similar to Captain Falcon's forward throw. Great option for countering [[stale-move negation]].||13%.
+|[[Pichu]]||Zaps the opponent on its back, then launches them forward. Causes [[recoil damage]] to Pichu.||{{y|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}||Hits opponent forward with their hammers. If the player walks slightly forward with the partner climber before using, they can regrab the opponent again right after they use the attack, making this throw a chaingrab, whether used on its own or in conjunction with their back and down throws. If used near the edge and combined with their partner using a [[short hop]]ped forward aerial [[meteor smash]], it can KO at 50%.||8%.
+|[[Pikachu]]||{{GameIcon|SSB}} Somersaults forward once and tosses the opponent.<br/>{{GameIcon|SSBM}}{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}} Zaps the opponent on its back, then launches them forward.||{{GameIcon|SSB}} {{n|16}}<br/>{{GameIcon|SSBM}}{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}} {{y|16}}

+|[[Pyra]]||Blasts the opponent with a fiery blast.||{{y|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Kirby}}||"Pile Driver" from Kirby's Suplex ability in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and Backdrop from "Adventure". Kirby rises slowly in the air, while flipping, then slams the opponent down. Incredible combo potential; this move can lead into combos dealing up to 45% or higher depending on the opponent's [[weight]] and [[falling speed]]. A popular combo started with this move is forward throw→up aerial→up tilt→back aerial, dealing a quick 37% damage, referred to as a "Gonzo Combo". There are also other moves that the throw can easily combo into, such as [[Hammer]]. Can additionally chaingrab at low percentages, and also lead into an up aerial then a regrab.||8%.
+|[[R.O.B.]]||{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}} Tosses the opponent with both hands.<br/>{{GameIcon|SSBU}} Tosses the opponent with one hand.||{{n|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|King Dedede}}||Hits opponent forward with hammer. A fast throw with high knockback for a throw, though it is weaker than his back throw. Does occasionally KO near the edge at very high percentages if the opponent [[DI]]s it the wrong way. Commonly used to get the opponent offstage after a down throw chaingrab across the stage.||12%.
+|[[Richter]]||Spins around once and tosses the opponent.||{{n|16}}
 |-

+|[[Ridley]]||Lifts the opponent overhead and tosses them with one hand.||{{n|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Lucario}}||Uses Aura to blast opponent forward. Good horizontal knockback at higher damages. Lucario's fastest throw. Can be an effective KO move at high percentages near the edge. Excellent to put room between Lucario and its opponent to provide breathing space. When at max power (170% or above), this is the strongest forward throw in the game.||{{AuraDamage|10}}.
+|[[Robin]]||Tosses the opponent using magic.||{{n|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Lucas}}||Psychokinetically tosses opponent forward.||10%.
+|[[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]]||Telekinetically spins the opponent once, then tosses them.||{{n|16}}

 |-
-|{{SSBB|Mario}}||Same as Luigi's, also usable as a not-very-notable chaingrab. It has low knockback scaling, even for a throw. It is mostly only used to get the opponent offstage.||9%.
+|[[Ryu]]||Performs the seoi nage, a judo throw.||{{n|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Marth}}||Pushes opponent forward, tripping them with the leg. Great for [[tech-chasing]] and can chaingrab heavyweights or fastfallers at 0% for up to usually four throws maximum and setup a guaranteed forward smash at 0% on most characters, on some characters it can hit with the tipper for more damage, and on certain characters this combo works up until mid percentages. Can also be used to setup a forward aerial combo.||4%.
+|[[Samus]]||Extends the Grapple Beam and lifts the opponent overhead, then tosses them.||{{n|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Meta Knight}}||Kicks the opponent in front of him. An extremely fast throw. Great for setting up aerial combos and finishers as it sends an opponent at a diagonal angle. For example, it can easily lead into a full hopped [[Shuttle Loop]] at KO percentages on most characters.||8-10%.
+|[[Sephiroth]]||Thrusts his hand forward, blasting the opponent in front of himself away with corrupted Lifestream.||{{y|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}||Juggles the opponent as a ball and then launches them forward.||8%.

 |-
-|{{SSBB|Ness}}||Psychokinetically swings his opponent in a small circle in front of himself before sending them off forward.

+|[[Shulk]]||Slashes the opponent with an upward swing of the Monado.||{{y|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Olimar}}||A Pikmin leaps into the air, latches onto the opponent, and then pushes itself off. With Blue Pikmin, it does very high damage and knockback for a throw.||6% (Red Pikmin), 13% (Blue Pikmin), 7% (Yellow Pikmin), 6% (White Pikmin), 7% (Purple Pikmin).
+|[[Simon]]||Spins around once and tosses the opponent.||{{n|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Peach}}||Winds up and slaps the opponent forward. Decent knockback and the strongest of Peach's throws, though it rarely KOs unless the opponent is above 161% near the edge. Can chaingrab heavyweights at low percentages provided that one [[buffer]]s a [[dash grab]].||2%, then 8%.
+|[[Snake]]||Slams the opponent onto the ground.||{{n|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Pikachu}}||Places opponent on back, zaps them, then sends them forward. An effective chaingrab that works on almost every character, and can easily lead into other moves such as an up smash out of a dash. Useful for countering stale-move negation due to the multiple hits.||10%.
+|[[Sonic]]||Launches the opponent with a stretch kick.||{{y|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Pit}}||Slashes the opponent with his blade. Can chaingrab at very low percentages against heavier characters.||10%.

+|[[Terry]]||Slams the opponent on the ground in front of him.||{{n|16}}

+|[[Toon Link]]||Launches the opponent with a shoulder ram.||{{y|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Sonic}}||Kicks opponent diagonally upward using a straight up kick (like a vertical split). Can combo into up aerial [[juggle]]s, but it can be heavily DI'ed backwards. Similar to Meta Knight's forward throw.||9%.

 |-

 |-
-|{{SSBB|Toon Link}}||Drops opponent quickly and shoulder tackles them forward. Oddly, it is apparently considered a "Leg" attack like Link's forward throw, even though it is quite clearly different. This is likely an error caused from copying moveset data.||7%.
+|[[Wii Fit Trainer]]||Serves the opponent like a volleyball.||{{y|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Wario}}||Spins the foe around and throws them forward. The lighter the character the faster he spins them. One of Wario's more powerful KO moves, easily KOs near the edge before around 150%. Identical to Mario and Luigi's back throw, except the thrown opponent can't hit bystanders.||12%.
+|[[Wolf]]||{{GameIcon|SSBB}} Launches the opponent with a backhanded swipe.<br/>{{GameIcon|SSBU}} Slashes the opponent away with his free hand.||{{y|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Wolf}}||Uppercuts his opponent forward. This throw can be used to pseudo chaingrab some characters, such as Fox, at very low percentages by buffering a dash forward. It may also be followed up with a forward smash, [[DACUS]], or [[RAR]] back aerial.||7%.
+|[[Yoshi]]||Spits the opponent forward.||{{n|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Yoshi}}||Spits the opponent forward.||7%.

 |-
-|{{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}||Hits opponent forward with her blaster. A portion of the laser gives the [[electricity]] effect. Can chaingrab most characters at low percentages, a useful way to rack damage, with a down throw being a good way to end the chaingrab and continue the combo.||2% then 7%.
+|[[Zero Suit Samus]]||{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}} Extends the Plasma Whip to zap the opponent, then releases them.<br/>{{GameIcon|SSBU}} Kicks the opponent away.||{{y|16}}

+===Notes===
+{{reflist}}
+==Notable forward throws==
+*[[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]].
+**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.
+*[[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.
+*{{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.
