Ness using his up throw against Zelda in Melee.

An up throw (上投げ, 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 grabbing an opponent. They were introduced in Super Smash Bros. Melee; in the original Super Smash Bros., there were only forward throws and back throws. In the transition to Melee, Kirby and 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 combos and chain grabs, especially in Melee. Some also deal high enough knockback to KO opponents reliably, with a notable example being 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, Bowser's in Smash 4, and Diddy Kong's in Smash 4 and Ultimate.

List of up throws

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.

Notable up throws

Fox, Falco, and Mii Gunner's up throws are the only ones to release projectiles, in the form of lasers that can be reflected and absorbed. Fox fires three lasers that cause no knockback, much like those of 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.
- 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 platforms 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 Bomb that automatically detonates), both characters can get KO'd off the top blast line mid-throw.
- 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.
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.
- In Brawl, with the absence of Mewtwo, the strongest up throw is instead Olimar's with purple Pikmin, KOing under 130%.
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 down special in Smash 4 if equipped.
Marth and Roy's up throws in Melee are useful for chain grabbing and starting combos on fast fallers 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.
Bowser's up throw in Smash 4 is a defining part of his playstyle, possessing very low ending lag compared to others (11 frames) 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.
- 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.
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.

-An '''up throw''' ({{ja|上投げ|Ue nage}}, ''Up/above/upper throw''; commonly abbreviated as '''uthrow''' or '''U-Throw''', and referred to as '''ThrowHi''' in ''Melee''{{'}}s {{SSBM|Debug Menu}}) is a [[throw]] performed by pressing up on the [[Control Stick]] after [[grab]]bing an opponent.

+==List of up throws==
+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.
-Most up throws, such as [[Captain Falcon]]'s, [[Link]]'s and [[Peach]]'s, consist of two hits; one damages the enemy holding them in place, while the other throws them. This means that the first hit can damage enemies next to the thrown opponent, but the second hit cannot. In the case of characters with just one hit, such as [[Mario]]'s or [[Mewtwo]]'s, the throw cannot damage other opponents, but for some throws, after the victim is thrown, a hitbox is generated on the enemy's body for the first frames as with other strong throws, which can damage other enemies with minimal knockback.

-!Character!!Description!!Damage
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Bowser}}||Tosses the opponent upwards, retreats into his shell, and spins, damaging them with his spikes. Has decent set knockback. When used as [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|Giga Bowser]], the spikes [[Electric|zap]] the foe in each hit except the throw.||9 hits of 1%. As [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|Giga Bowser]]: 8 hits of 2%, then 10% (26% total)
-|-
-|{{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. This is one of Falcon's more powerful throws knockback-wise.||4% then 3% (7% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Charizard}}||Sets opponent above itself, then slams them with its head.||5% then 6% (11% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}||Throws opponent up and kicks them.||5% then 4% (9% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}||Swings his arm back and throws the opponent. High base knockback but low knockback scaling. Has fast [[startup]].||9%
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Falco}}||Throws opponent upward and shoots up with his Blaster. Same as Fox's, but the shots cause flinching. Nearly useless at higher percentages due to it being easy to DI out of, allowing the opponent to avoid all laser shots.||8%
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Fox}}||Throws opponent up and shoots them with his Blaster. The shots can be avoided using DI, deal no knockback, and can be reflected and absorbed.||2%, then 3 shots of 2% (8% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Ganondorf}}||Throws opponent upward and jabs his/her back. A poor throw that isn't strong enough to KO under 200%, but its base knockback is too high to be effective at setting up more attacks at low percentages.||4% then 3% (7% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}||Throw upwards then smash with hammer. Can KO at 469%, but probably never going to.||4% then 2% (6% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Ike}}||Ike throws Ragnell into the ground and uppercuts the target into the air with one hand.||4% then 2% (6% total)
-|-
-|{{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. Good for [[Bullet Seed]] combos.||10%
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}||Spins and sends opponent up. Jigglypuff's strongest throw. Good finisher. Often a [[one-hit KO]] move during matches where enemies' launch resistance is decreased, such as Easy/Normal level of [[All-Star Mode]] or [[Multi-Man Mode]].||10%
-|-
-|{{SSBB|King Dedede}}||Hits opponent upward by sticking both his hands upward. Can set up an up aerial or a down aerial against heavy/fastfalling opponents at very low percentages, and can KO in Sudden Death. But Dedede's up throw is often neglected and rarely used because of his other throws and more useful options.||5% then 4% (9% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Kirby}}||Air Drop from Kirby's Ninja ability in ''Kirby Super Star'' or 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. Has KO potential at very high percentages. Meta Knight shares this move as well, except without the explosion and inflicts more damage.||10%
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Link}}||Throws foe a very short distance above him, then slashes. Can KO at high percentages.||5% then 2% (7% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Lucario}}||Uses aura to hit the opponent upwards with its paw. Extremely low knockback and damage increase (even with Aura) make this able to be combined with other attacks at practically any realistic combat percent. Lucario's best throw to set up a follow up attack (up tilt and up smash particularly). Can chain throw heavyweights and fast fallers.||From 4% to 8% (capped when at +170% damage)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Lucas}}||Psychokinetically tosses opponent straight up.||10%
-|-
-|{{SSBB|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%
-|-
-|{{SSBB|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.||7%
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Marth}}||Powerful upward throw with one arm. This is by far Marth's most powerful throw in terms of knockback, KOing lighter characters under 200%. It is also the only one of his throws that can KO in Sudden Death.||4%
-|-
-|{{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 knockback. Can KO at very high percentages. Most damaging up throw (tied with Sonic's) in the game.||12%
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}||Juggles the enemy as a ball and then launches them upward.||8%
-|-
-|{{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%
-|-
-|{{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%
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Peach}}||Puts opponent above her, and volleys them upward.||2% then 6% (8% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Pikachu}}||Headbutts opponent upward. Can combo into a [[Thunderspike]] in certain situations, but much less reliable than using an up tilt or up smash.||2 hits of 5% (10% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Pit}}||Does a handstand and kicks opponent with both feet.||5% then 6% (11% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|R.O.B.}}||Grabs opponent, flies them into the air a short distance, turns them upside down, then crashes them into the ground. Can reliably KO at around 150%.||10%
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Samus}}||Spins above her head and blasts opponent upward after zapping it.||5 hits of 1%, then 4% (9% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Sheik}}||Sheik flips upside-down and kicks the enemy with both of her feet.||2 hits of 3% (6% total)
-|-
-|{{SSBB|Snake}}||Back suplex, similar to Jigglypuff's [[back throw]], but knocks the opponent upwards instead.||10%
-|-
-|{{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 [[slash]]ed upwards and at an angle. Excellent [[juggling]] ability at low percentages, and at high percentages, a great way to combo into [[Spring Jump]] then an up or back aerial, though the opponent can [[DI]] horizontally to have a higher chance of avoiding this. This throw is one of the most damaging in the game percentage-wise, and is the most damaging up throw in the game (tied with Meta Knight's), along with being able to KO lightweights at surprisingly low percentages for a throw.||3% then 9% (12% total)
-|-

-|-
-|{{SSB4|Bowser}}||Tosses the opponent upwards, retreats into his shell, and spins, damaging them with his spikes. A reliable combo starter beginning in update 1.1.3, leading into up tilt, up smash, neutral aerial, forward aerial and up aerial, depending on percentage. When used as {{B|Giga Bowser|Final Smash}}, the spikes [[Electric|zap]] the foe in each hit except the throw, and is the strongest throw in the game.||8 hits of 0.5%, then 2% (6% total). As {{B|Giga Bowser|Final Smash}}: 8 hits of 2%, then 10% (26% total).
-|-
-|{{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}||Throws opponent upward.||7%
-|-
-|{{SSB4|Captain Falcon}}||Holds the enemy up and punches them upward with his left hand. Mainly upwards knockback, though it appears to be slightly angled.||4% then 3% (7% total)
-|-
-|{{SSB4|Charizard}}||Flies upward holding its opponent into the air and slams them into the ground at high speed, probably in vein to {{S|bulbapedia|Seismic Toss}}. Significantly stronger as of the 1.0.8 update, now outshining Mewtwo's up throw as the strongest in the game (although horizontal DI takes a bigger toll on Charizard's up throw than Mewtwo's).||8% then 3% (11% total)
-|-
-|{{SSB4|Cloud}}||Two spinning kicks, sending the opponent flying upwards. Cloud's second strongest throw, though unable to KO at realistic percentages.||2%, 2.5% then 4% (8.5% total)
-|-

-|-
-|{{SSB4|Dark Pit}}||Same as Pit's.||4% then 7% (11% total)

-|-
-|{{SSB4|Fox}}||Throws opponent up and shoots them with his Blaster. The shots can be avoided using DI, deal no knockback, and can be reflected and absorbed.||2%, then 3 shots of 2% (8% total)
-|-
-|{{SSB4|Ganondorf}}||Throws opponent upward and jabs their back. A poor throw that isn't strong enough to KO under 200%, yet its base knockback is too high to be effective at setting up more attacks at low percentages.||7% then 3% (10% total)
-|-
-|{{SSB4|Greninja}}||Thrusts arms straight upward, sending opponent upward. Can KO at high percentages, and is a good combo starter into up air at low to mid percentages.||5%
-|-
-|{{SSB4|Ike}}||Ike throws Ragnell into the ground and uppercuts the target into the air with one hand. Great follow-up potential into a neutral air, forward air, up air or [[Aether]], being faster than his down throw, though also inflicting slightly less [[hitstun]].||3% then 4% (7% total)
-|-
-|{{SSB4|Jigglypuff}}||Spins and sends opponent up. Jigglypuff's strongest throw, although the opponent must be at a very high percentage for it to actually KO.||10%

-|-
-|{{SSB4|Kirby}}||Kirby flies off the top of the screen, and comes back down violently in an explosion, like a Warp Star item. Based on his Air Drop from his Ninja ability in ''Kirby Super Star'' or his Backdrop from ''Adventure''. One of the strongest up thows in the game beginning in update 1.1.3.

-|{{SSB4|Mega Man}}||Throws opponent straight up.||7%
 |-
-|{{SSB4|Meta Knight}}||Like Kirby's, he jumps into the air holding his foe, and then crashes down, but with less KO power and without creating an explosion. It can, however, unexpectedly KO bystanders on the way down.||10%

-== Notable up throws ==
+==Notable up throws==
-Characters with notable up throws include:
+*[[Fox]], [[Falco]], and [[Mii Gunner]]'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''.
-*[[Mewtwo]]: The strongest in ''Melee'' by far, also the strongest in ''Smash 4'', being the strongest overall in the whole Smash Bros. series, being one of Mewtwo's best finishing moves. In ''Melee'', it can be used to chaingrab or set up combos against fastfallers at low percentages.
+**{{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.
-*{{SSBM|Roy}}: The second strongest in ''Melee'', it can easily be used to chaingrab fastfallers.
+*[[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.
-*{{SSBM|Marth}}: The third strongest in ''Melee''. Just like Roy, it can be used to chaingrab fastfallers.
+**[[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.
-*{{SSBM|Fox}}: Fox's up throw in ''Melee'' can easily lead into his up air for a quick KO string at high percentages, especially against fastfallers.
+*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.
-*{{SSBM|Peach}}: Peach's up throw is a defining part of her [[metagame]] in ''Melee'', being able to chaingrab fastfallers to rack up a large amount of damage, as well as being able to chaingrab large amount of non-fastfallers at low percentages.
+*[[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]].
-*{{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}: Similar to Mewtwo's, but with less knockback scaling and higher base knockback. It is notable for allowing the [[space animal slayer]]. This move exists in ''SSB'', but with less base knockback and higher knockback scaling, as well as being a forward throw instead.
+**[[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.
-*[[Mr. Game & Watch]]: The only up throw in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' to release the opponent at an angle.
+**In ''Brawl'', with the absence of Mewtwo, the strongest up throw is instead {{SSBB|Olimar}}'s with purple Pikmin, KOing under 130%.
-*[[Kirby]] 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 fall onto to a higher part of the stage (except in ''Melee'' where Kirby drops through soft platforms), KOing enemies quicker at stages like [[Smashville]]. In ''Brawl'', Kirby's up throw can be used as a [[Kirbycide]] from the left edge of the lowermost [[platform]] of [[Temple]] when facing right, from the right edge of the bottom platform of [[Skyworld]], and from the leftmost part of {{SSBM|Final Destination}} in ''Melee''. In ''SSB'', this move also existed, with almost the same properties as in ''Brawl'', but as a forward throw.
+*{{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.
-*{{SSBB|Olimar}}: The most powerful in ''Brawl'' with the purple Pikmin.
+*{{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]].
-*[[Sonic]] and Meta Knight: Out of the up throws in ''Brawl'', they deliver the highest damage output (not including characters under the effects of Final Smashes; Wario-Man and Giga Bowser), dealing 12% damage. Their up throws have been nerfed in ''Smash 4'' as they deliver less damage.
+*{{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.
-**With the removal of [[hitstun canceling]] in ''Smash 4'', {{SSB4|Sonic}}'s up throw has become notable in that, starting at mid percentages, it can be comboed into any aerial (except down air) against any character if the throw is followed up with a [[Spring Jump]], which can also KO them if done on an elevated platform. At low percentages, it can also be comboed into an up air from a grounded jump against most characters.
+**[[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|Charizard}}: Charizard's up throw in ''Smash 4'' has a similar animation to those of Kirby and Meta Knight, and can as well land on platforms above the location where the throw was started. As of 1.0.8 patch, it has been largely buffed to the point it is the second strongest up throw in ''Smash 4''.
+*{{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.
-*{{SSB4|Lucario}}: The most damaging throw in ''Smash 4'' when Lucario is at full power, dealing 18% damage.
-*{{SSB4|Shulk}}: In ''Smash 4'', a Jump Art-boosted up throw to up aerial is an effective KO combo only escapable via an air dodge (or in a few cases such as {{SSB4|Toon Link}}, with a jump). This combo is known as the Monado Purge. Due to Shulk's ability to buffer-deactivate [[Monado Arts]], this combo is effective at a wide range of percentages.
