Editing Slingshot

{{ArticleIcons|ssbu=y}}
{{stub}}
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.

==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.

==Variations==
===Flickshot===
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===
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===
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.
