Down throw

Down throw is a throw performed by pressing down on the control stick after having grabbed the enemy. These throws are typically used as combo-starters, and a few, like Sheik'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.
