Falco (SSB4)/Down throw

Hitbox visualization showing Falco's down throw.

Overview

Throws the opponent to the ground and shoots them with lasers. It is a very reliable combo starter, as it can lead into an up smash, dash attack or either a neutral, forward, or down aerial at low percentages, as well as a back aerial at medium percentages. The opponent can DI away the attack, however, reducing its combo potential.
