Most common kill options

While watching replays of myself, I noticed that by far my most used kill option was forward throw at the ledge, regardless of level of play/opponent. While Pit may not be the strongest character in the game, he has plenty other options to secure a stock, like bair, edgeguarding, and a well placed side-special. I try and use a little bit of everything, save my kill moves, etc, but it just seems like at least half the time I get a kill, it's from my f throw.

Now I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, since I at least try to mix it up and not rely on it. I am just wondering what other people use to kill the most. What do you guys use to take stocks?

Fair chasing off stage and uair after a throw are used a lot for me. I catch people out with up smash often as well.

My personal favorite kill option is fake out bair to fsmash near the edge whenever my opponent does a normal getup or getup attack.

As in do a rising RAR bair to bait them to shield grab and then throw out a fsmash once they drop their shield.

Foward throw and Foward smash. Back air can kill but I never know when to use that at the right time, usually it doesn't kill (for me).

I was labbing yesterday and found that a short hop fast falled U-air can actually pop the opponent up for an Usmash, but it's risky and not very reliable (and not even a true combo unless you're against fox, jiggs, or G&W)
