In ''Melee'', the formula for bury [[frame]]s is <code>99 + | In ''Melee'', the formula for bury [[frame]]s is <code>99 + 0.7p - h</code>, rounded down. '''p''' is the opponent's percent after the burying attack hits, while '''h''' is a handicap equal to 15 if the victim has less stocks or points than the user (depending on battle mode). As a result, players that are currently losing will be buried for slightly less time, and the minimum possible bury time without button mashing can be either 99 or 84 frames. [[Button mashing]] reduces bury time by 6 frames per input. | ||

*'''h''' and '''r''' are both placing factors much like the one used in ''Melee'', but they make bury time even more variable based on the user and victim's stock difference (or points in a time battle). '''h''' (handicap) controls stock deficit, being equal to 0.25 if the user is one stock behind the opponent, and 0.375 with two or more stocks behind. On the other hand, '''r''' (rank) controls stock leads, being equal to 1.5 if the user is one stock ahead of the opponent, and 1.8 with two or more stocks ahead. | *'''h''' and '''r''' are both placing factors much like the one used in ''Melee'', but they make bury time even more variable based on the user and victim's stock difference (or points in a time battle).

**In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', '''h''' is equal to 0.325 and 0.65, respectively, while '''r''' is equal to 1.7 and 2.35, respectively.

For these formulas, '''p''' is the opponent's percent ''before'' the damage is dealt, instead of after. Due to knockback and rank not being factors whatsoever, the bury time of these throws is much less variable and thus easier to calculate. | For these formulas, '''p''' is the opponent's percent ''before'' the damage is dealt, instead of after.
