-Despite extreme difficulty in forcing glancing blows, there exist multiple [[TAS]] videos of ''Melee'' that are composed almost entirely of glancing blows; such videos are generally used to demonstrate one's skill at TAS.
+The superhuman precision enabled by tool-assistance effectively allows a player to control much of the extreme difficulty inherent in forcing a glancing blow. This has led to the creation of gameplay videos, particularly of ''Melee'', consisting almost entirely of glancing blows; such videos are generally used to demonstrate a user's skill at TAS.
+In TAS videos of the [[Home-Run Contest]], strategies commonly consist of [[bat dropping]] while forcing a glancing blow (of the type that allows the dropped bat to hit twice) repeatedly, effectively allowing the player to inflict much more damage than otherwise probable in real time.
