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% (making this the second most damaging down throw in the game, behind Kirby's, Bowser's, and Olimar's (using a blue Pikmin), which each deal 12% damage). 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 has slower stomps. This throw is a useful damage racker in general, and is one of Meta Knight's more commonly used moves in competitive play. 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, Meta Knight can chain grab using down throws, and in some situations, the move works as a pseudo-tech-chasing move.
