Talk:Home-Run Contest

Since the contest always shows lengths in metres, can anyone tell me why people always describe them using feet? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 12:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

You must live in somewhere other then the NTSC (or whatever it is) region. in the NTSC game they use feet... Kperfekt722 (talk) 12:34, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I saw a youtube video where the description was in feet, but the video clearly showed the distance recorded in metres, though. But thanks, I guess. =/ JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 18:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

To clarify this:

PAL Version: Europe, Oceanic countries, Middle East, Most of Asia and Africa and some of South America.

This system uses meters, since this is the standard measurement in these countries.

NTSC Version: North America, some of South America and a few countries in Asia including Japan.

This system uses feet as a measurement instead, since this is the usual way to measure lengths in these countries. RageSmash (talk) 13:02, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Damage caused by moves that can hit farther than the Home-run Bat

What is the relevance of the damage caused by moves that can hit farther than the Home-run Bat? Isn't the crux of the section related to a move's knock-back, not its damage? After all, the sandbag's final damage isn't what determines it's flight distance, right?

Even so, as long as the proper minimum damages to hit the bag at with each move are listed, I don't see the need to list the damage they inflict in this section. Zixor (talk) 03:40, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Just keep them on. It will do nothing but help. Kperfekt722 (talk) 03:50, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Irrelevant information is, indeed, unhelpful.Zixor (talk) 22:20, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Is knock-back calculated based on the damage before the attack, or after it? If it is after, then these figures may be helpful. Otherwise, they should be removed. Zixor (talk) 17:35, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Kirby

My friend told me what he did was play as Kirby, inhale Sandbag, and run. Should that be listed? User:SuperSmash16.5 6:36, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

No, that's a gimmick strategy. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 06:26, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Australian

• Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch (neutral B)

Hits farther than the bat always. <-- This doesn't appear to work in the Australian release of SSBB. -->

-If this is accurate (needs confirmation), then this may have many implications. Of course, this info should also be added to the article. Zixor (talk) 06:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Donkey Kong

If you walk next to the sandbag in SSBM, he will always perform a no-ping hit. Is this new, because it doesn't say that in the main article.

Home-run Contest vs Home-Run Contest

Reboot has brought up the fact that the mode is called Home-Run Contest, with a capital R. He suggests that the article be moved to such. Could an Admin carry out this change? Mr. Anon (talk) 21:12, 29 November 2010 (EST)

Yup. The item needs moved to Home-Run Bat as well. See right.

World Records

Why haven't the single and co - op world records been added? -wawahwario Wawahwario 02:06, 16 January 2011 (EST)

Although we used to, I don't think that we usually list WRs nowadays, but I'm not sure. – Smiddle_T 02:07, 16 January 2011 (EST)

Because they never been a large focus and no one ever added them. This is a Wiki, where everything here is from someone volunteering their time to add it. As such, don't expect the Wiki to have everything or demand it. If you want to see them, I recommend adding them yourself (as long as you provide the proper citation to prove they're the records).

Also, you sign your comments with just four tildes ~~~~, you don't manually type it yourself. Omega Tyrant 04:45, 16 January 2011 (EST)
