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.

 [[File:Forward Throw.gif|frame|{{SSBB|Kirby}}'s forward throw in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.]]
-The '''forward throw''' ({{ja|前投げ|Mae nage}}, ''Front/forward throw'') is a [[throw]] performed by pressing forward on the [[control stick]] after having [[grab]]bed the enemy. Forward throws are often used to knock away an opponent, or comboing. Some can even be used to chaingrab. Forward throws are usually not as good of KO moves as [[back throw]]s (outside of a few exceptions such as [[Wario]]'s) nor are they as good combo starters as [[down throw]]s (aside from [[Kirby]]) and are generally the least useful throw for most characters, aside from setting up edgeguards.

-{|class="wikitable sortable" style="margin:1em auto 1em auto; text-align:left"
-!Character!!Description!!Damage
-|-
-|{{SSB|Captain Falcon}}||Slams the opponent down in front of him. Having very low knockback for a throw, this has great [[combo]] ability, being able to lead into a forward aerial, up aerial, or up smash easily.||11%.
-|-
-|{{SSB|Donkey Kong}}||Holds his opponent on his back. He can then freely move around and jump before throwing them either forward or back. This throw is based on his ability in ''Donkey Kong Country'' to effortlessly carry barrels and crates. Unlike later entries, foes will be kept in the grab indefinitely if they do not input anything. The throw has decent knockback. Can be used to perform the [[infinite throw trap]].||8% (carry), 8% (throw).
-|-
-|{{SSB|Fox}}||Throws foe forward. Can [[chaingrab]] at very low percentages. A pretty decent KO throw when used near the edge at high percentages.||12%.
-|-
-|{{SSB|Jigglypuff}}||Throws opponent straight up. Has limited KO power and can't set up edgeguards (unlike other throws), but at low percentages, it can be useful for comboing into moves such as up aerial and [[Pound]], and can easily lead into a [[Rest]] against [[fastfaller]]s.||14%.
-|-
-|{{SSB|Kirby}}||Jumps high in the air with the opponent, then slams down. One of the few forward throws to launch opponents upward. Has very high base knockback, but low knockback scaling, meaning that it does not KO until 120% for most characters. Can [[Kirbycide]] if used on the very edge of a platform, though Kirby will always be KO'd first.||13%.
-|-
-|{{SSB|Link}}||Violently kicks his foe forward with good power. Often throws the foe far enough to set up a quick [[Boomerang]] or [[Bomb (Link)|Bomb]]-based [[edgeguard]], or it can simply lead into an aerial combo at lower percentages. Can also hit an opponent into a Boomerang coming at them.||14%.
-|-
-|{{SSB|Luigi}}||Same as Mario's, but can deal more damage.||12-16%.
-|-
-|{{SSB|Mario}}||Swings the foe once and tosses them in front of him. A good throw in terms of knockback.||12%.
-|-
-|{{SSB|Ness}}||Takes opponent, lifts them with PSI, and twirls them whilst launching them forward with great power. Can damage other characters that bump into the thrown opponent.||16%.
-|-
-|{{SSB|Pikachu}}||Grabs the foe, flips and releases them. Can chaingrab most characters. Decent to good knockback, can easily KO or set up an edgeguard when used near the edge.||9-12%.
-|-
-|{{SSB|Samus}}||Grabs opponent via Grapple Beam and tosses them forward with good power.||12-16%.
-|-
-|{{SSB|Yoshi}}||Reels back with opponent in mouth and throws them forward with somewhat low horizontal knockback, at least compared to other throws.||9-12%.

-|{{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%.

 |-
-|{{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%.

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).

 |-
-|{{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%.

 |-
-|{{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 {{b|Hammer|move}}. Can additionally chaingrab at low percentages, and also lead into an up aerial then a regrab.||8%.
+|[[Daisy]]||Toad launches the opponent with a ramming headbutt.||{{y|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%.
+|[[Dark Pit]]||Slashes the opponent with an upward swing of the Silver Bow.||{{y|16}}
 |-
-|{{SSBB|Link}}||Lets go of the opponent then kicks them forward, football punt style.||7%.
+|[[Dark Samus]]||Extends the Grapple Beam and lifts the opponent overhead, then tosses them.||{{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.||{{AuraDamageSSBB|10}}.
+|[[Diddy Kong]]||Lifts the opponent overhead and tosses them with both hands.||{{n|16}}
 |-

 ==Notable forward throws==
-*[[Donkey Kong]]'s forward throw in all games is known for not throwing the opponent immediately. Instead, he restrains them and carries them around just like a heavy [[item]]. A second directional input along with attacking (or usage of the [[C-Stick]]) will result in one of four different throws. These secondary throws are commonly known as the "cargo throws". In ''Smash 4'', following patch [[1.1.0]], Donkey Kong's forward throw is considered one of the best, if not the best, because of its sheer damage output (barring cargo down throw), its follow-up capabilities (cargo up throw), its [[edgeguarding]] potential (cargo down throw), and its KO power (cargo back throw).
+*[[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]].
-*[[Ness]]' forward throw in all games except ''Smash 64'' is notable for its extremely high base knockback, usually used as a setup for an edgeguard. However, its extremely low knockback scaling prevents it from KO'ing even past Sudden Death.
+**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.
-*[[Marth]]'s forward throw in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' is a decent tech-chasing option on heavyweights/fast fallers. Its effectiveness was somewhat reduced in ''Smash 4'', but it can still be practiced effectively.
+*[[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.
-*[[Mewtwo]]'s forward throw is the only one to release projectiles. In ''Smash 4'', as of update 1.1.0, it is tied with Ganondorf's forward throw as the second most damaging in that game.
+*{{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.
-*{{SSBM|Peach}}'s forward throw in ''Melee'' is the strongest in that game, being able to KO at around 110% on most characters.
+*[[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.
-*{{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}'s forward throw in ''Melee'' is also very powerful, and the second strongest in said game. It is almost as strong as Peach's.
+*[[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}}.
-*[[Ganondorf]]'s forward throw is the most damaging in ''Brawl'' and the second most damaging in ''Smash 4'', making it a good option for when other moves stale.
+**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}}.
-*[[Kirby]]'s forward throw in ''Brawl'' is known for its immense follow-up capabilities at lower percents. It can be followed up with the Gonzo Combo (up aerial, up tilt, back aerial) or {{B|Hammer|move}}. In ''Smash 4'', his forward throw received a new trajectory and lower knockback in patch [[1.1.0]], and as such, it is capable of new follow-ups. It can lead into forward aerial, up aerial or down aerial from zero to mid-high percents.
+**[[Villager]] and [[Isabelle]]'s forward throws have similar properties, and are even weaker, failing to KO from the center stage even at 999%.
-*In the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''Smash 4'', {{SSB4|Bowser}}'s forward throw has been strengthened to the point where it is the strongest forward throw in the game, reliably KOing any character at 185% from the center of {{SSB4|Final Destination}}.
+*[[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.
-**Similarly, {{SSB4|Wario}}'s forward throw in ''Smash 4'' is also very powerful and does not KO much later than Bowser's. It was also his back throw in ''Brawl''.
+*{{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''.
-*{{SSB4|Lucario}}'s forward throw in ''Smash 4'' is the third strongest in that game at max aura. It is also the game's fastest throw.
+*{{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.
-*{{SSB4|Shulk}}'s forward throw is the most damaging in ''Smash 4'' with the Buster art, dealing 18% fresh. This powers up even further with the Hyper Monado arts custom.
+*{{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.
