Update history

Up throw has been weakened since the initial version of the game. In earlier versions of the game, up throw was a damaging throw and it could easily combo into up aerial at lower percents which could even be an extremely effective kill confirm on platforms. When the move stopped comboing into up aerial, it became an effective 50/50 which could easily KO most characters under 100%, even without rage. Version 1.0.6 decreased the amount of damage up throw dealt although this made its combo potential even greater (although up aerial was also made weaker in the patch). Up throw saw another change in version 1.0.8, although this change was purely negative. The hitbox's damage and knockback were reduced, with the throw now dealing half of its normal damage. This was further compounded by the additional nerfs up aerial received. Up throw remains a strong combo throw although due to severe nerfs to Diddy Kong's up aerial, its 50/50 kill potential has been drastically weakened.

1.0.6

• The throw deals less damage (6% (throw)/10% (total) → 4%/8%), hindering its KO potential but improving its combo potential.

1.0.8

• The hitbox deals less damage (4% (hit)/8% (total) → 5%) without full compensation on its knockback (30 (base), 100 (scaling) → 50/120).
