Usage

This throw sees a lot of use, especially as combo starter. It's base knockback is low enough for it to combo into any aerial at low percents (barring down aerial) and at mid percents, it can continue comboing with the aid of Spring Jump. It's knockback scaling allows it to be a situational KO move. This throw is very useful in competitive play.
