Piranha Plant (SSBU)/Back throw

Hurtbox visualization showing Piranha Plant's back throw.

Overview

Piranha Plant violently throws the grabbed opponent behind itself with its mouth. While it is capable of killing at high percents, up throw generally kills earlier especially with DI considered, as the 45 degree angle of back throw makes it very susceptible to survival DI. It can be used as an alternative to forward throw if it is staled due to dealing the same 11%. It is also the only throw of Piranha Plant's to lack a collateral hitbox, giving it little use in doubles and dangerous against Rosalina & Luma or Ice Climbers, as it can get Piranha Plant punished easily.
