*{{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}'s down throw in ''Smash 4'' is notable for being a direct combo into his [[up air]] or other aerials, even at high percents, on nearly any character. This potential to easily both combo and KO opponents has caused much controversy over the character. This combo became 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, patches [[1.0.6]] and [[1.0.8]] nerfed Diddy Kong's down throw and up air, decreasing its power and damage and increasing his down throw's knockback respectively so that it will be harder to perform the "Hoo-hah" combo. | *{{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}'s down throw in ''Smash 4'' is notable for being a direct combo into his [[up air]] or other aerials, even at high percents, on nearly any character.

*{{SSB4|Luigi}} and {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}} in ''Smash 4'' have the down throws with the best combo potential, giving them a large amount 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, [[ | *{{SSB4|Luigi}} and {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}} in ''Smash 4'' have the down throws with the best combo potential, giving them a large amount 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 may lead to a OHKO in many scenarios if the result is 9. | ||
*While {{SSB4|Shulk}}'s down throw has little notability without any [[Monado Arts]] activated, it becomes a very damaging combo throw at 0% with Buster active, being able to chain into a forward tilt, forward smash, dash attack or forward aerial; a Buster-boosted down throw to forward smash can rack up as much as 35% in 2 moves. With the Smash Art active, this becomes the strongest down throw in the game, even more so when using the custom [[Monado Arts#Customization|Hyper Monado Arts]]. | *While {{SSB4|Shulk}}'s down throw has little notability without any [[Monado Arts]] activated, it becomes a very damaging combo throw at 0% with Buster active, being able to chain into a forward tilt, forward smash, dash attack or forward aerial; a Buster-boosted down throw to forward smash can rack up as much as 35% in 2 moves.
