I just started trying to get good with luigi recently and I noticed his throws arent too good and they dont set up for combos as good as alot of other characters do. I hate how his up throw sends the opponent up and kinda behind you, shure you can follow up with a b-air but it would be great if it set up for a super punch up-b. What throws do you use the most and what throws combo into what moves?(what are some combos that start with throws) Correct me if im wrong but I also dont think luigi can chain throw.

On a side note(its not worth makeing another topic for this) , has anyone noticed that the super punch up-b does diffrent damage and I think has diffrent knockback depending on if you use it on the ground, or in the air. It also makes a "ping" homerun bat sound when used on the ground and when used in the air, it make a very different, deep sounding "boing". What are the differences between using this move in the air, and on the ground, which is stronger in damage and knockback? Keep in mind I am talking about the up-b when used while touching your opponent, nothing I said is reffering to the part of the move that does 1% and makes a coin.

What are you talking about? Luigi's throws aren't good? They're very good combo openers. Up-throw and up smash, up-throw, jump, aerial attack. Down throw, downsmash. Down throw, WD, downsmash. Etc. This moves will mostly work on fox and some off them will work on other chars to.

You don't know anything about luigi. If you play against fox, grab him, use up-throw and you can catch him again and again.

Downthrow is better to normal characters, and the upthrow is good for fastfallers. That 2 throws are excellent for the beginning of a combo.

If you want a throw to combo into super punch ping, then Down throw - dash attack. If every hit connects and they land face down, well there's you're free up b ping. Seriously, though, you don't know a great deal about Lui if you think his throws are bad...

I should not take that risk, what if you miss it? Bye Bye luigi.

Well yea, but there's a risk anytime you're looking for a super punch ping. The thing with that combo is that if your opponent lands face down after the dash attack connects, they get up slowly. They don't get their ground attacks or anything, they just slowly stand up. It seems to work best on bigger heavier characters, mind you, but meh. But yea, the thing is, if it happens like that, it's guaranteed, unless you miss. Who'd I first hear that from.... Matt Deezie, I think it was? But yea, nothing in that little combo is guaranteed until after they fall face down.

In any case, I myself don't use it unless I'm facing like a bowser or something, just to add some color to the match...but the kid asked for ways to combo throws into super punch, so...
