*{{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}'s down throw in ''Smash 4'' is notable for easily comboing into aerial attacks against nearly any character, even at high percents, which originally allowed for a guaranteed KO setup into an up aerial. This ability to easily both combo and KO opponents initially created controversy over the character in competitive play and the KO setup was infamously known as the "Hoo-Hah", due to {{sm|StaticManny}} shouting the phrase whenever it happened to {{sm|Hungrybox}} in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB-6oRB4ABo/ a set] vs. {{sm|Player-1}} at [[Paragon Orlando 2015]]. However, updates [[1.0.6]] and [[1.0.8]] severely [[nerf]]ed Diddy Kong, decreasing his down throw's combo potential and his up aerial's KO potential, effectively removing the setup. | *{{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}'s down throw in ''Smash 4'' is notable for easily comboing into aerial attacks against nearly any character, even at high percents, which originally allowed for a guaranteed KO setup into an up aerial.

*{{SSB4|Luigi}} and {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}} in ''Smash 4'' have the down throws with the best combo potential, giving them a large number of combos in comparison to most other characters: Luigi's down throw can combo into up smash, any of his aerials, Luigi Cyclone and even Super Jump Punch to KO, while Mr. Game & Watch's can combo into jab, up tilt or up smash at low percents, then into any aerial, [[Fire]], [[Oil Panic]], or [[Judge]] - the last of which can lead to a [[one-hit KO]] if it rolls a #9. | *{{SSB4|Luigi}} and {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}} in ''Smash 4'' have the down throws with the best combo potential, giving them a large number of combos in comparison to most other characters: Luigi's down throw can combo into up smash, any of his aerials, Luigi Cyclone and even Super Jump Punch to KO, while Mr. Game & Watch's can combo into jab, up tilt or up smash at low percents, then into any aerial, [[Fire]], [[Oil Panic]], or [[Judge]] - the last of which can lead to a [[one-hit KO]] if it rolls a #9. | ||
**In ''Ultimate | **In ''Ultimate'', Mr. Game & Watch's down throw was nerfed, receiving slightly higher [[knockback]] and [[ending lag|endlag]], although it still remains as a reliable [[combo]] starter at low-to-mid percents and can one-hit KO into a #9 from Judge. However, this deprives its combo potential at mid-to-high precents. Despite this, down throw is Mr. Game & Watch's strongest throw because of its high knockback of any type of down throw by its kind, now successfully possessing the ability to KO at realistic precents, significantlly overshadowing its nerf. | ||
**In contrast to Mr. Game & Watch, Luigi's down throw was actually overall buffed, having slightly less endlag and knockback, and when combined with his faster jumpsquat, buffed aerials, and combo game, has become notorious for its ability to set up highly damaging combos and occasionally a [[zero-to-death]]. | **In contrast to Mr. Game & Watch, Luigi's down throw was actually overall buffed, having slightly less endlag and knockback, and when combined with his faster jumpsquat, buffed aerials, and combo game, has become notorious for its ability to set up highly damaging combos and occasionally a [[zero-to-death]]. | ||
*{{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}'s down throw in ''Smash 4'' is notable for comboing into aerial attacks against nearly any characters until high percent. Particularly at certain percent it can lead into a potential low percent KO setup with her ladder combo, which is two up aerials into her Boost Kick depending on the stage and DI. | *{{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}'s down throw in ''Smash 4'' is notable for comboing into aerial attacks against nearly any characters until high percent.
