Meta Knight (SSBB)/Down throw

Meta Knight's down throw in Brawl.

Overview

A multi-hit throw in which Meta Knight stomps the opponent nine times, then slams on top of them, knocking them horizontally with weak knockback. The stomps deal 1% damage each, and the slam deals 2% damage, for a total of 11%. This throw has a similar animation to Kirby's down throw, but Meta Knight's deals 1% less damage, produces horizontal knockback instead of vertical, and the stomps are performed slower. Meta Knight's down throw can be followed up with moves such as a dash attack or short hopped neutral aerial to start combos at lower percentages, or at higher percentages when near the edge, a short hopped Shuttle Loop. There are various other possible followups depending on the opponent's DI. Against fastfallers at low percentages, it can even lead into a regrab. In some situations, the move works as a pseudo-tech-chasing move.
