Zelda performs her down throw on ROB.

Down throw is a throw performed by pressing down on the control stick after having grabbed the enemy. They are usually more powerful but with less KO potential at small percentages but become good KO potential moves at high percents. These throws are typically used as combo-starters, and a few, like Sheik's and King Dedede's, can be used to chain throw. Down throw chain throws typically work only on floaty characters, who are generally more difficult to combo than fast-fallers; thus, they are highly valuable to any character. Other notable down throws include Captain Falcon's and Ganondorf's. Toon Link's down throw can set up for a barrage of b-airs followed by a d-air meteor smash. There are no down throws in Super Smash Bros.
