Bowser (SSB4)/Back throw

Hitbox visualization showing Bowser's back throw.

Overview

Bowser throws the opponent behind himself in a sideways motion. It is a relatively strong throw, dealing 12% damage with enough knockback scaling to KO near the edge of Final Destination at around 135%, while also possessing high enough base knockback to force opponents offstage at any percentage. It has the exact same properties as his forward throw, though with the difference that it releases the opponent notably faster; this essentially makes Bowser's back throw tie with it as his strongest throw, and gives him two KO throws to work with, enabling him to reliably KO grabbed opponents at high percentages regardless of his position on the stage.
