Piranha Plant (SSBU)/Up throw

Hitbox visualization showing Piranha Plant's up throw.

Overview

Piranha Plant puts the opponent in its mouth, then bites their rear upward. Piranha Plant's best kill throw, and also doing the highest amount of damage at 12%. The collateral hitbox has no effect on the thrown opponent, only on others. Without rage, it typically kills midweights at ~150%, however with rage, it can kill at ~130%, making it especially strong as a comeback move. Combined with the fact that Piranha Plant's grabs are among the fastest in the game and neutral aerial's multihits are able to confirm into a grab, this makes up throw one of Piranha Plant's most common killing options. At very low percents, while it cannot combo, using Ptooie afterwards can be a way to scout the opponent's escape options, and Ptooie can still end up catching escape options due to its hitbox and throws.
