Description[]
Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) and pushing backwards near an opponent. Zeku first steps in between his opponent's legs and places a hand on their head. As Zeku squats down, he wraps his other arm underneath his opponent's leg and scoops them off of their feet. Next, he turns the other way and throws his opponent across the stage, causing them to land on their back. If no directional input or button is pressed, Zeku poses for several moments before dropping back to his stance.
Tactics[]
Throw attacks are mainly use to get pass an opponent's defenses if they are constantly guarding. It is also an effective way to put his opponent back in the corner. Raiju can be used to reset the neutral game and create separation between his opponent. This move also inflicts the most damage out of all of Old and Young Zeku's throws. However, while the damage output for Raiju is somewhat higher, Zeku won't be in position to reapply offensive pressure due to the spacing of his back throw. From afar, he can safely transform into Old Zeku, while he's in position to zone out his opponent with Bushin Gram - Koku.
