Most reliable way to rack up damage and KO from 1 grab?

It seems like doing down-throw to side smash like I did in Melee isn't as reliable and it's very hard to time. What I noticed though was that f-throw > up-smash is very easy to connect and f-throw > f-smash is a little less easy but still effective to pull off. The f-throw > up-smash doesn't kill until around 120% though and f-throw > side-smash kills around 100% with bad DI from opponent. Are these the most reliable ways to KO and opponent or are there any better ones that are easy to connect?

I found that the most reliable way to rack up damage from an opponent at 0% is grab > f-air with nana > grab > repeat > then f-throw-->side smash. That racks up about 50% alone. It's not as much damage as ICs used to be able to produce from one grab in Melee, but then again, this isn't Melee.

So what are the most reliable ways to rack up damage and KO?
