The '''slingshot''' is an [[advanced technique]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The earliest known mention of the technique can be seen by twitter user [https://twitter.com/Sabaca2g/status/1076799606586068993 Sabaca2g] on December 23, 2018. The technique was later popularized and coined by {{Sm|GimR}} during his May 6th, 2022 livestream introducing it.
The '''slingshot''' is an [[advanced technique]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Although the technique was discovered prior, it was popularized and coined by {{Sm|GimR}} during his May 6th livestream introducing it.
 
==Overview==
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.

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.

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.
