OK, so I got bored when I got home and actually went through the process of testing each and every character's throws. I thought about making a new thread, but I realized the throws by themselves wouldn't make for a good post. Maybe I'll type it out later.
------------------------------------------------------------
I used Mario as the guinea pig because... well, it's just easier to use him as the default. I used Final Destination as the stage for the same reason.
After testing the damage for each throw and getting a feel for its power, I set the CPU damage to 200 and used each one from the center of FD. If it got a KO, I repeated the throw with decreasing damage until he didn't die anymore.
All of these are done with no DI, so the actual percentages are probably slightly higher.
Forward Throw - Olimar with a blue Pikmin (which will be a recurring theme) kills at 162%.
Forward throws just aren't cut out for killing apparently. Lucario's will kill at around 145% when his aura is maxed, but otherwise it was pretty light.
The blue Pikmin also deals the most damage, tied with Ganondorf at 13%.
Back Throw - Ness's amazingly good back throw returns for a third time. It starts killing at about 119% and just gets better from there.
Olimar and his blue minion weigh in at 136%, with Luigi coming in at 151%.
Dedede claims the most damaging throw in the game with his back-throw (a whopping 16%!!!)
Down Throw - Lucas has a surprisingly strong down-throw that sends off the top at about 141%, but Squirtle is a close second at 148%, and his kills off the side.
Five-way tie in strength between Bowser, Kirby, Olimar with blue (again), Wolf, and Snake, all dealing 12%. Kirby's and Wolf's can be good for combos, but the others are mediocre (or in Snake's case, just plain bad).
Up Throw - Good God! Olimar's throws are so strong it's ********. He can end your existence at 112% if he has a purple Pikmin available!!! And it only gets worse. If he has one of those **** blue ones, he can still kill you at 137%!
Respectable showings from Ivysaur (150%), Lucas (151%), and Charizard (157%) make up-throws the most concentrated section of death. It's not Mewtwo, but it's something to be wary of.
As far as damage goes, Meta Knight and Sonic each deal 12% with their throws.
As a summary, the overall strongest throws in the game are as follows:
1. Olimar (purple): Up-throw
2. Ness: Back-throw
3. Olimar (blue): Back-throw
4. Olimar (blue): Up-throw
5. Lucas: Down-throw
The lesson? Don't get grabbed by space gardners or pre-pubescent psychics!
