It has since become increasingly more common in later games, with examples of new attacks that can cause it being {{SSB4|Villager}}'s [[down smash]], {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}' automatic [[Flip Jump]] stomp from ''Smash 4'' onward, {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s down smash in ''Ultimate'', and {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s [[down throw]]. The [[Pitfall]] item uses a plunge effect, which drops characters through [[soft platform]]s if they can be buried, but otherwise behaves identically to the bury effect. | ||

In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', a buried character simply remains stuck in one animation [[frame]], with no visual indication of how much time they have left to escape. In ''Smash 4'', however, they shake when [[button mashing]] to escape faster. ''Ultimate'', in addition to keeping this visual effect, adds others that better indicate how close a buried character is to escaping; when 30% of the initial bury duration has passed, small portions of dirt splash out of them, and when 60% of the duration has passed, the character flashes yellow with larger and louder portions of dirt splashing out of them. If buried by a throw, the small dirt splashes appear immediately, with the latter effect instead happening when 33.3% of the initial bury duration has passed. | In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', a buried character simply remains stuck in one animation [[frame]], with no visual indication of how much time they have left to escape.

In ''Ultimate'', characters have two buried poses: upright and upside down. Fighters are normally buried upright, but {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}, {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, and {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s [[down throw]]s bury the thrown fighter upside down. | In ''Ultimate'', characters have two buried poses: upright and upside down. Fighters are normally buried upright, but {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}, {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, and {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s [[down throw]]s bury the thrown fighter upside down. The latter pose is also used during {{SSBU|Lucas}}'s down throw, although it does not cause the buried condition (in ''Smash 4'', it uses a character's grabbed animation rather than a specific buried pose). Being buried upright or upside down affects the [[hurtbox]] placement of the buried character, so a character that is buried upright might not get hit by an attack that would hit them buried upside down, and vice versa. | ||

In ''Melee'', the formula for bury [[frame]]s is <code>99 + 0.7p - | In ''Melee'', the formula for bury [[frame]]s is <code>99 + 0.7p - 15h</code>, rounded down. '''p''' is the opponent's percent after the burying attack hits, while '''h''' is a handicap equal to the victim's current rank disadvantage over the grabber (for example, if the victim is placing 4th and the attacker is placing 1st, it is equal to 3). As a result, players that are currently losing will be buried for less time, and the minimum possible bury time without button mashing can be 99, 84, 69, or 54 frames depending on their rank disadvantage. [[Button mashing]] reduces bury time by 6 frames per input. | ||

In ''Ultimate'', attacks that hit buried opponents without unburying them have their knockback "stored" and applied when the effect wears off, including [[neutral attack]]s and [[meteor smash]]es, and even other status conditions such as [[freezing]], allowing even more followups out of a bury if the opponent cannot escape quickly enough. | In ''Ultimate'', attacks that hit buried opponents without unburying them have their knockback "stored" and applied when the effect wears off, including [[neutral attack]]s and [[meteor smash]]es, and even other status conditions such as [[freezing]], allowing even more followups out of a bury if the opponent cannot escape quickly enough. | ||

This is known as ''' | Due to new mechanics relating to knockback's interactions with buries in ''Ultimate'', there are some instances where knockback storage will result in [[tech]] situations being stored. This is known as '''bury tech situation storage''', or '''BTSS'''. As of version 13.0.0, the glitch was patched out.<ref>https://youtu.be/UhhykyAvBMs</ref> | ||
Attacks stored that result in a launch [[angle]] of 0° or 180° (including the [[Sakurai angle]] at lower percentages), while an opponent has their control stick positioned in the upper half of the stick radius, cause the glitch to occur. The reason why this happens is due to buries storing knockback, and [[ASDI]] being triggered on release when the stick is held upwards at the end of the bury. This causes opponents to be forced into the tech situation. Due to ASDI being required, bury throws are unaffected by BTSS.

This causes opponents to be forced into the tech situation. Due to ASDI being required, bury throws are unaffected by BTSS. Any buried state, as long as it is not caused by a throw, will cause this to occur. Thus, anything from [[Pitfall]]s to [[Flip Jump]] buries can potentially cause this. Unusually, the interaction only occurs with buries, and no other state. | ||
This technique can be used as a counter to mashing using directional inputs, although it can be avoided. Some examples include only using the lower half of the stick radius, or simply button mashing, although the latter is considered suboptimal. However, against players rotating the stick completely, it has a decently high chance of occurring. Almost every [[neutral attack]] in the game can cause this to occur due to their low knockback and Sakurai angles, giving easy access to the technique. However, there are many other options in the game that have the possibility of causing this, due to the abundance of the Sakurai angle. Since the Sakurai angle is locked to 0° prior to 60 KB, this makes an otherwise rare occurrence very easy to execute. | This technique can be used as a counter to mashing using directional inputs, although it can be avoided.

Opponents being able to miss techs right in front of a player gives them easy access to [[lock]] confirms, especially if they can also cover tech options. As a result, BTSS has very high reward should it occur in the right circumstances. Characters such as King K. Rool can also force it to occur with moves like [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Down aerial|down aerial]] pre-tumble, allowing for exceedingly high damage output that also cover tech options with alternate, reactable combo routes.

However, the [[randomness]]-based inconsistencies of the technique also make it difficult to plan and prepare for. Without having a specific combo route for whether it works or not, BTSS is more of an inconvenience than a benefit. | ||
