Bat dropping: Difference between revisions

'''Bat dropping''' (abv. BD) is a [[technique]] used primarily in the [[Home-Run Contest]] minigame to rack up very high damage on [[Sandbag]]. It is the act of dropping the bat over Sandbag, then hitting the bag with a move that does not send Sandbag flying, usually a [[spike]] to hit the bag back into the ground, or some weak attack that negates the knockback of the bat drop. When combined with fastfalling, [[L-canceling]], and [[air grabbing]], one can perform many bat drops quickly.

[[Captain Falcon]]'s bat dropping technique is a classic example: he jumps over [[Sandbag]], drops the bat, and then hits it with [[down aerial]]. The bat knocks the bag in mid-air and the spike immediately hits Sandbag back down; thus, Sandbag doesn't move. The bat should have bounced off Sandbag, so Falcon can jump and catch it again with Z, after landing. With [[L-canceling]] and [[fastfalling]], one can achieve very high scores.

Bat dropping requires more precise timing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' since the [[C-stick]], the [[A button]], and shake smashing in the air can end unintentionally grabbing the bat again.
