"Tipper" is typically used in reference to Marth's attacks and those of characters with movesets based on his. Marth's tippers are named so due to the end of his sword being the {{b|sweet spot|hitbox}} and being stronger than the rest of his blade. [[Roy]] features a "reverse tipper", as his sweet spot is at the base of his blade while the rest of his sword is weaker. [[Lucina]], as a result of not having a particular sweet spot on her sword, has no hitbox distinction between tippers and other hits. Finally, several of [[Corrin]]'s key moves have a tipper sweetspot, such as all smash attacks and [[Dragon Lunge]], though this is not to the same extent as the previously mentioned two (due to all of Marth/Roy's sword attacks, barring [[Counter]], carrying this mechanic). | "Tipper" is typically used in reference to Marth's attacks and those of characters with movesets based on his.

Less frequently, the term is also used for other sword-wielding characters' moves which may have slight sweet spot and sour spot hitboxes; for example, both {{SSB4|Link}}'s dash attack and {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}'s [[Warlock Punch#Customization|Warlock Blade]] attack | Less frequently, the term is also used for other sword-wielding characters' moves which may have slight sweet spot and sour spot hitboxes; for example, both {{SSB4|Link}}'s dash attack and {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}'s [[Warlock Punch#Customization|Warlock Blade]] attack have a sweet spot on the tip of their swords. | ||
