Palutena (SSB4)/Down throw

Overview

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Using her magic, Palutena slams the opponent into the ground. Her best throw in general, as it leads into her combos and setting up a KO.

Depending on the opponent's DI, it can combo into a neutral, forward back or up aerial at low percents, which all of them give Palutena her most reliable way of racking up damage without custom moves. Hitting the opponent with a forward aerial and SHFFing it can lead into a jab, then thrown again and repeat the process. However, it is not recommended to use this throw with rage if the opponent is at low percents, as it will not lead into anything if the opponent DIs correctly. It the opponent reacts poorly, it can also be used near the ledge, where it can lead into a down aerial to edgeguard the opponent.

At high percents, it can lead into an up aerial if the opponent DIs the wrong way, and it may also lead into an up smash if the opponent's air dodge is read.
