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. 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.
List of down throws:
- Mario: Slams opponent on the ground. 6%.
- Luigi: Same as Mario's.
- Peach: Sits on opponent. 7% and it can be used to chaingrab on lower percentages.
- Bowser: Body slams the opponent. 12%.
- Donkey Kong: Slams opponent on the ground. 7% and it can be used to chaingrab at lower percentages.
- Diddy Kong: Slams opponent on the ground. 9%.
- Yoshi: Spits opponent on the ground. 4%.
- Wario: Sits on opponent. 7% and it can be used to chaingrab at all percentages.
- Link: Lies onto the opponent. 7% and it can be used to chaingrab at lower percentages.
Trivia
In Melee, Bowser's down throw does no damage to Jigglypuff, but this has changed in Brawl.
