The term '''tipper''' can be used as a general term of reference for hitting with the tip of any attack, but is usually used in terms of the movesets of [[Marth]] and his [[clone]]s and semi-clones, as well as the [[Home-Run Contest]]. | The term '''tipper''' can be used as a general term of reference for hitting with the tip of any attack, but is usually used in terms of the movesets of [[Marth]] and his [[clone]]s and semi-clones, as well as the [[Home-Run Contest]]. | ||

Generally, the term "tipper" can also be used to refer to the sweetspot of any attack, particularly those located at the tip, for example [[Ness]]'s forward smash, which has a sweetspot on the tip of the bat. Several characters have tipper mechanics similar to Marth and Roy common across their movesets, although less accentuated. Most of [[Corrin]]'s moves involving the Dragon Fang lance transformation have a tipper at the end of the spear, while moves involving the Omega Yato sword or other Dragon Fang transformations generally have no sweetspots and sourspots. Likewise, [[Byleth]]'s [[Areadbhar]] has a tipper hitbox at the tip of the lance, with the shaft being significantly weaker, but other weapons carried by him have no such distinction. [[Shulk]] has a "reverse tipper" similar to Roy, with the blade of his Monado dealing slightly more damage than the energy beam. [[Simon]] and [[Richter]] have a tipper on the spiked ball of their Vampire Killer whip, with the chain being slightly weaker while the handle is significantly weaker. [[Sephiroth]]'s Masamune combines aspects of both Marth and Roy's tipper | Generally, the term "tipper" can also be used to refer to the sweetspot of any attack, particularly those located at the tip, for example [[Ness]]'s forward smash, which has a sweetspot on the tip of the bat.

[[Sephiroth]]'s Masamune combines aspects of both Marth and Roy's tipper: when used for thrusting, the tip of the blade is stronger, similarly to Marth, while if used for slashing, the center of the blade is stronger, similarly to Roy. Tippers are not exclusive to characters wielding swords or other melee weapons; for example, [[Mewtwo]], [[Charizard]] and [[Ridley]], all have a tipper hitbox at the end of their tails, and in the case of Ridley, of his wings. | ||
