(Perhaps) New grab combo.

Probably not new, but it needs to be used more.

Dthrow-> *Dthrow-> Dtilt->Dtilt->Dtilt (etc)

it only works with Fast Fallers, and I've only confirmed it with Sheik.

*the combo wont work if you use a purple pikmin for the second Dthrow. Be careful!

A second one is:

Dthrow-> *Dthrow-> Dash Attack -> Uair/Nair -> Uair/Nair-> UpB.

*also wont work if purples are used for second dthrow

I think Olimar's Dash Attack is actually a decent move if they dont expect it. it pops them right up for an aerial.

Feedback?

I sometimes use Dthrow >Usmash >Fair >Fair Dsmash or Fsmash pretty sure they both work but I have only confirmed against my sucky brothers lol but also done it in a match against someone who came 6th in a tourney althought I came 5th

^That would never work in a tourny. Just use the staple:

Latch>DThrow>USmash>Uair>Uair>Tether

That's like an easy 60% (about).

dthrow fair dtilt usmash uair uair pikmin chain is a lot more spiffy; however, if your opponent jumps it doesn't work.

Like all of olimar's grab combos, they can be gotten out of if they know what's coming

Dthrow fair imo is better than usmash...

yeah, dthrow fair gives your usmash a fresher hit when you are trying to kill with it, especially how often oli's should be grabbing that's a lot of usmashes in your stale moves list

Yeah, but usmash allows for better comboing than fair gives.
I disagree... dthrow fair leaves lots of opportunities to follow up that few characters can get away from

dthrow fair dtilt usmash ect <- right there you're getting the added % of a fair and dtilt into your grab combo, and you still get the advantage comboability of the usmash. Works best on mid to fast fallers as well as predicting DI downwards and/or usually with an aerial dodge on light char.

dthrow fair *regrab* <- again you get more bang for your buck, you now get 2 dthrow combos *again DI variant*

dthrow fair uair / nair (depending on DI) pikmin chain

dthrow fair fair uair pikmin chain

dthrow fair dair nair d/usmash (depending on DI)
*usmash* at low percents follow with standard usmash follow-up
*dsmash* from zero leads into a dash grab on mid-heavy/normal to fast falling characters or a fair on lighter characters (can be aerial dodged)

dthrow fair usmash ect

I'm sure there's more, but I'm just trying to show the versatility of a dthrow-fair combo.... I'm not saying you should use the same combo every time, I just personally prefer the advantages of a dthrow fair. You use one, and then follow up with another based on the DI movements used by them on your last throw. It keeps you un-predictable as well as a badass at racking damage.

I've always seen dthrow to usmash as a aerial dodge punishing throw combo... maybe someone could correct me on this ^^; but it can also be gotten out of if it's the ONLY throw combo in your arsenal.
