Usage

This throw has some usage potential, mostly as a K.O.er. It's high base knockback and the fact that it moves Sonic back makes if useful to setup an edgeguard attempt and it's knockback scaling is high enough to allow it to K.O. near edges. Combined with Sonic's relatively average grab range, this throw is fairly useful in competitive play.
