Is this true? I would guess there's not a huge strategic advantage in puff dittos. I figured up and forward throw were used for the higher damage. Btw, about hbox vs. mango, why didn't either one do hits after grabbing and before throwing? I'm going based on memory here but I don't ever recall it being used.
edit:
Is this a joke?
no its not true that guy is just trolling.
I dont think there is really a reason for not jabbing, they probably didnt want to even have to think about when the other player could mash out cuz it would of only been another couple percent in a puff ditto, so they just wanted to make sure they got the throw out.
I dont think he thinks its a joke, but ya it is a joke.
Probably because it's the only throw which establishes a positional advantage.
Which throw are u talking about? i mean none of them give enuff of a advantage to be relevant.
B-throw in Puff ditto near the edge and then grab the edge immediately with WD FF if they DI away and then just do invincible aerials on them to rack damage.
If they DI in, put up shield and if they Pound then do something OoS to punish and otherwise grab the edge with WD FF and then do invincible aerials, or just Bair OoS somewhere if they float with Fair or something else that's completely stupid.
I really dont think this is true, they can just jump back once and be out of range of everything, i think if you are at the edge you should bthrow because its better than the other throws, but its not as good as ur making it sound.
Couldn't you just jump over 'em?
Yes, i mean i havent tested it but i have played alot of puff dittos cuz people get mad a tournies and puff ditto me and then i three stock them like mango lol. (Hungrybox, you stole my five dollars i didnt forget our best of 5 puff dittos that i have been training for)
I personally downthrow cuz all the other throws send them too far and make the game take longer since no real advantage is made and also dthrow cuz it looks like ur ****** them so its a psychological edge.
