Idk if you have already talked about this in the skype group (I'm not in it yet lol), but last night I was trying to understand on which characters does upthrow-upair connect until kill%. This is a very good option, because grabbing close to the ledge means that the opponent will DI towards the stage like 100% of the times, and if you are fast enough uthrow uair will likely kill at around 120%. I've managed to kill characters until the 28th-29th fall speed class (marth and lucina), while with pikachu I wasn't able to make a combo according to the training mode's counter, so this works against about half of the roster. If someone wants to confirm/contradict me I'll appreciate it.

I've just tried against other characters, I wasn't able to do this against wario even if he's 23rd in the fall speed list, while I was able to kill vanilla shulk. I think we should make a list of the characters that this kill setup works on

I've found this to work on very specific % and rage, it's very hard to get an actual confirm from this. But it's still a nice strategy as, if they air dodge the Uair, you can frame trap them and hit a Witch Twist, so not all is lost.

Uthrow uair works against some characters at mid-high% too, even if they don't die off the top. You can condition them to airdodge, and then bair them to death when you get a grab close to the ledge. This is the closest thing to a 50/50 we have, so I think we should get more information. Consider that uthrow uair works quite well on characters that are often seen in tournaments, like Sheik, ZSS, Diddy and Cloud

Or just BA U-Air if you are slow enough.

Since every kill confirm throw combo has a name, im gonna call it 'Booyah' (a mix between Bayonetta and Hoo-Hah)
