Downward Throw

A Downward Throw (下投げ), commonly abbreviated as d-throw, is a throwing attack in the Super Smash Bros. series, used by every character. It is performed by pressing down on the control stick after using a Grab on an opponent. Most Downward Throws throw the opponent into the ground and/or bounce them at different angles, and set up combos better than other directional throws.

Downward Throws originated in Super Smash Bros. Melee and have appeared in every installment since. They do not exist in the original Super Smash Bros.

Samus and Dark Samus violently pick up their foe with their Grapple Beam, slings them over their heads and slams them into the ground with a set knockback, dealing 6% base damage. Zero Suit Samus similarly uses her Plasma Whip to slam her opponent on the ground, lifts her leg and stomps down on them with her foot. It deals 5% (slam) and 2% (stomp), 7% total. Finally, in Ridley's Downward Throw, he slams the opponent on the ground with a single hand.
