I'm not 100% sure about this combo, someone please confirm or deconfirm this.
On fast-fallers (Fox, Falco, Captain Falcon), when they are around ~95% to ~125%, I've been able to almost consistently perform u-throw immediately into side-b before they hit the ground. Using smash side-b opposed to regular side-b seems to make this more consistent. However, when I have hit the regular side-b, I noticed that sometimes the opponent is in enough hitstun for me to follow up with an aerial if they are sent at the right trajectory.
Obviously, if the opponent doesn't DI the up-throw and just goes straight up, you can only follow up with nair or uair.
P.S., I've only tested this on level 1 and level 9 cpus on 20XX with random DI. The level 9 Fox has been able to nair before side-b connects, and the level 9 Falco has been able to nair or shine before side-b connects. Falco's shine hasn't hit, but it did prevent any damage or knockback done to him, so I'm assuming it clanks. I'm pretty sure that Fox can shine before side-b connects, but it probably just hasn't happened to me yet. Also, I was wondering if these fast options can be out beat if side-b was pressed soon enough after the u-throw for their moves to not be able to come out.
