Pit has a genuine throw combo! (at very low percents only)

Was just messing around in Training mode and got this to actually register as a combo on Bowser at 0%:

Forward throw -> Forward Smash

I think Pit's f-throw animation has IASA frames, or maybe I just suck at timing, but I found I could f-smash just a tad earlier than I thought was possible. You can catch Bowser with the f-smash while he is still hitstunned; it registers as a 4-hit combo (5 hits if you smack him once while grabbing, right before the throw).

It's very simple, works only at very low percents (would not work anymore at 25%), and is probably easy as crap to DI out of.

But it is my first success at actually linking two different moves in this game (i.e., not counting AAA combos).

I prefer down throw into up air. It works on a lot of characters even at mid-ranged percent. Just watch out for characters like Lucas and Lucario that can hit you right out of the down throw at low percents.
