Meta Knight's down throw in Brawl.

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% (its the second most damaging down throw in the game after Kirby's, Bowser's, and Olimar Blue Pikmin's, which each does 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 the stomps are performed slower. One of the commonly used throws that Meta Knight uses 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 with a few down throws. In some situations, the move works as a pseudo-tech-chasing move.
