Do I just suck or...

Is it just me or is throwing someone into the air almost useless. I feel like the only characters that I can combo with mid air are Mario and Dr. Mario. I mean yeah, I use aerials with characters like Ness's foward aerial, but I still stay on the ground right after. Part of the reason is the air dodge spam, and while it leaves them open for another attack, I find it hard to get multiple attacks in while in mid air.

Please be gentle.

Being in the air in this game is disadvantageous due to the terrible landing lag this game has. So even if you can't combo, its generally good to get your opponent into the air. Gives you good stage control and an advantage in the match.

At high percents of you're in the middle of a stage you can up throw for a kill... Sometimes. If you're on the edge it's usually better to just toss them off the side, whether it's a back of forward throw.

At lower percents I generally down throw so that they bounce into the air shortly above me and i can f-air them or something like that.
