Back throw

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki

Back throw is a throw performed by pressing backwards on the control stick after having grabbed the enemy. These throws rarely lead to combos but often have decent knockback, often more than forward throws and thus can be used to throw enemies off the edge to be edge-guarded. In SSB, all back throws have very high knockback and are viable KO moves.

• Mario: Spins with the grabbed opponent some circles and throws them. Can KO.

Notable back throws include:

• Ness' back throw, arguably, has the farthest knock back of any throw in the game and can kill opponents at low percentages.
• Donkey Kong's back throw in Brawl is also very powerful in terms of knockback and isn't much weaker than Ness' back throw.
• Mewtwo's back throw is similarly powerful, acting as one of its best killers.
• Dr Mario's back throw is more powerful than Mewtwo's and can damage other enemies during the throw animation.
• Luigi's back throw in Brawl is very powerful, similar to Dr. Mario.
• Mario's back throw mimics how he threw Bowser in Super Mario 64
• King Dedede's back throw, the most damaging at 16%
