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.

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
- 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. - Reboot (talk) 01:42, 30 November 2010 (EST)
World Records
Why haven't the single and co - op world records been added? Wawahwario (talk) 20:17, 23 January 2011 (EST) 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. – SmiddleT 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).

- You guys know how out of date the Smash DOJO records are? Perhaps the link should be removed. Wawahwario (talk) 20:17, 23 January 2011 (EST) 18:59, 16 January 2011 (EST)
Everything is up to date and looking good Wawahwario 20:18, 16 January 2011 (EST)

- Your signature should have a link to your user and talk pages. Did you create a custom signature that removed these links? If so, readd them. Omega Tyrant 06:55, 17 January 2011 (EST)
Messy Article
How is this article messy? I think it can use a little more organization, but how exactly is it messy?

- Cleanup tag was added a while back ago, and users have the tendency of not removing stubs/cleanup tags when they finish revising the article to the point of the article no longer needing such tags. Omega Tyrant 05:45, 4 March 2011 (EST)
Getting Yoshi's Island
I recently got the Yoshi's Island stage with Yoshi getting 1342.9 feet, 7 feet less than the 1350 feet listed to unlock the stage. Normally I would change this to say 1340 feet is required, but that probably means the meters measurement is inaccurate too, and converting the two doesn't result in an exact measurement, (1350 ft= 411.48m, while 1340ft= 408.432m) so I need to know what the PAL requirement is to make sure.

Tables?
Would this article be better with tables? Brawls of fury (talk) 16:38, 7 December 2012 (EST)

Moves farther than bat
When will we get a list of these for SSB4??--Thejfh1999 (talk) 18:08, 11 January 2015 (EST)
SSB4 World Record
Any sign of that on YouTube? Just wondering.
Also, I think it's worth mentioning that the farthest that I've gotten without using the bat is around 6346.5 feet. You have this guy to thank for that.

Now, wait a sec...
"Mr. Game & Watch's Judge always comes up with a 6. In the case of the Extreme Judge variant, which normally cannot roll a 6, its effect is identical to the default variation."
...I thought you couldn't use customs in the HRC.

- Maybe you can, maybe you can't, I have no idea, I've never tried it. All I know is that the move has data for rolling a 6 (and no other middle numbers) when it's not otherwise supposed to be able to. Toomai Glittershine

Size difference with language
I studied the GIF correctly, and while it does appear to be an illusion caused by the differing camera angle, in the GIF the sandbag and character DO NOT change size with the camera, which makes it look like the stage is indeed bigger for them. So what's going on here? Black Vulpine (talk) 21:03, 24 May 2017 (EDT)
- I don't know what's up with the sandbag, but I looked into it and there is no evidence on the internet that the platform is bigger. If it were, world record attempts would use the bigger platform, but they don't. Also look to the right of the platform at the score strip, it clearly does not get overhung by the platform. It is also highly suspicious that the user who added it never made any other edits on the wiki at all. Alex Parpotta (talk) 03:19, 25 May 2017 (EDT)
- Just want to point out that the user who edited that line was directed here from the subreddit from this comment specifically. There are WR's that use the bigger platform and I would urge you to test his explanation yourselves in game before completely dismissing this as a rumor.

Brawl removing "no off-stage mechanics" constrained WRs
I made an edit a few weeks back that removed the "no off-stage mechanics" WRs from Brawl since they aren't considered a separate category. Then this edit was reverted with no explanation. Why should we keep constrained WR numbers that aren't their own category? Zowayix (talk) 21:30, 13 November 2017 (EST)
