Fox (SSBM)/Down throw
Overview
Fox throws the opponent against the floor and shoots them with his Blaster. The throw portion of this move is a Meteor Smash, which can allow it to launch someone into the bottom blastzone if they are not prepared to Meteor Cancel or stage/wall tech it. In most positions, it can allow for a tech chase, although against most of the cast you cannot tech chase on reaction after, instead having to read their tech option. Against especially light characters like Jigglypuff and Game & Watch, you can reaction tech chase after as long as they don't DI the throw in an ambiguous way.
Down throw is usually used against characters whom Fox cannot up-throw up-air, such as Samus, as a way of potentially securing a strong hit, like a read with upsmash. Generally speaking, it has the least usefulness of Fox's throws, but may be a good option in certain matchups.
