Despite glancing blows being quite rare, it is possible to purposely trigger them with some setups:

*Go to [[Home-Run Contest]] and select {{SSBM|Peach}}. Use a Down tilt on the Sandbag without pushing it, then go to the left ledge and start [[Teeter|Teetering]], then roll to the right. Peach can now Down-Smash to phantomhit the Sandbag as long as it is lying on the ground. This only works if the unit of measurement is ''meters'' (PAL version or NTSC versions with Japanese language setting).

The superhuman precision enabled by tool-assistance effectively allows a player to control much of the extreme difficulty inherent in forcing a glancing blow. This has led to the creation of gameplay videos, particularly of ''Melee'', consisting almost entirely of glancing blows; such videos are generally used to demonstrate a user's skill at TAS.

In TAS videos of the [[Home-Run Contest]], strategies commonly consist of [[bat dropping]] while forcing a glancing blow (of the type that allows the dropped bat to hit twice) repeatedly, effectively allowing the player to inflict much more damage than otherwise probable in real time.
