Forward Throw

The Forward Throw (前投げ) is a throwing attack in the Super Smash Bros. series, used by every character. It is performed by pressing left or right, depending on which direction the fighter is facing, on the control stick after the fighter Grabs an opponent. Most Forward Throws are used to knock away an opponent, but are less effective at KOing than Backward Throws.

Unlike Downward and Upward Throws, Forward and Backward Throws have existed since the first Super Smash Bros. game.

Samus, Zero Suit Samus and Dark Samus each use their Grapple Beam and Plasma Whip in their Grabs and Forward Throws. Samus and Dark Samus grab an opponent with the grapple and toss them forward with a lot of power, dealing a lot of base damage. This ranges from 12-16% (Super Smash Bros.) and 9% (Melee onwards). Zero Suit Samus hits her opponent forward with her Paralyzer, with a small electricity effect. The attack deals 2%, then 7% base damage. Ridley's Forward Throw hurls his opponent forward.
