Using Roy's Throws

[Sylnic]

Could anyone go over some of the basics of Roy's throws? I can never seem to get any consistent follow-ups/combos out of them. I know Up-throw leads to chain-grabs on Spacies, and Forward throw can lead to techchases/dash-attack/DACUS, but I have no idea what to do with down-throw, and I believe Back-throw is useless? Any knowledge would be much appreciated.

Up-throw = chain grab on fast fallers (Falcon, Fox, Wolf, Falco, Roy, etc.) or kill throw above 190% on non-fast fallers/heavies.

Forward-throw = leads into techases on non-light weights and set ups on light weights.

Down-throw = same as forward throw just in the opposite direction (DI mixup).

Back-throw = near useless unless you just want to get a guy as far off the ledge as possible.

Shadowganon's pretty much got it covered but...

Downthrow sometimes nets an Fsmash kill due to the DI mixup.

Forward throw for run and gun tech chasing (Fthrow>Fthrow>Ftilt; Fthrow>Dtilt>Fair; etc.etc.)

backthrow isnt useful really

Up throw on spacies or fast fallers for chain grab

yeah i think bthrow could use a bit more KB just to make it more useful in throwing an opponent farther offstage. although it might get a little better indirectly since the recoveries are getting nerfed a bit.

Huh, I guess I knew more than I thought. Didn't know Back-throw was used as a DI mix-up though. Thanks for all the info!

No, no, no. Down-throw is the DI mix-up. Back throw is near useless.

Oh woops, sorry, that came out wrong. I've been awake for more than 48 hours, I just mixed up the throws. I'm getting some sleep now though, so I promise I won't make that mistake in-game

correct me if im wrong but doesn't up throw also lead to FF L-cancelled Uair chains or is that not guaranteed?

Yup. Not guaranteed. Though it should work on a lot of mid weight/falling speed characters at lower percents.

 

[Taytertot]

ah i see. it was hard to tell because it does seem to work most of the time at low percents.
