| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Slingshot

This article or section is incomplete. You can help SmashWiki by expanding or finishing it. The editor who added this tag elaborates: Needs gif of slingshot in action as well as applications. |
The slingshot is an advanced technique in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The earliest known mention of the technique can be seen by twitter user Sabaca2g on December 23, 2018. The technique was later popularized and coined by GimR during his May 6th, 2022 livestream introducing it.
Overview[edit]
To perform the slingshot, simply start a dash, then quickly pull the control stick in the opposite direction and hold diagonally up or down. If done correctly, the character will turn around while keeping their forward momentum. This opens up a wide variety of movement and positional options, particularly with aerial movement.
Variations[edit]
Flickshot[edit]
The flickshot is the most basic version of the slingshot. It is performed by moving forward, then flicking either up-back or down-back on the control stick and pressing jump after the stick has returned to neutral. The character will be sent forwards in the air with maximum airspeed while facing backwards.
Holdshot[edit]
The holdshot is similar to the flickshot in input. Instead of flicking up-back or down-back, the input is held. This results in drifting backwards instead of going forwards.
Fullshot[edit]
The fullshot is the same as the holdshot, except the control stick is rolled from up-back or down-back to back, increasing the drift backwards.
