Throws in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U are one of the best ways for some characters to tack on guaranteed (or, at least nearly guaranteed) damage. Just like anything else in the game, directional influence plays a large part in exactly how powerful a given follow-up option will be, but not all throws were created equally. Take Donkey Kong’s cargo throw, for example: the amount of DI possible after the move is actually fairly small, thus keeping targets well within the range of numerous aerial attacks that DK can unleash.
In their latest video My Smash Corner covers optimal follow-up options for this throw and the best percentage ranges for each against the game’s numerous weight classes. If you’re looking to get your Donkey Kong back to his barrel-throwing roots, give these strategies a whirl.
