 ==In [[Home-Run Contest]]==
-A tipper occurs in Home-Run Contest when one hits [[Sandbag]] with the tip of the [[Home-Run Bat]] during a bat smash. It deals 20% [[damage]] to Sandbag and sends it farther than other bat swings (a close hit or midhit). This is the usual method of finishing Sandbag, unless the character has an attack that is stronger such as a [[Warlock Punch]].
+Beginning in ''[[Melee]]'', the [[Home-Run Bat]]'s forward smash has several hitboxes that each do a varying amount of knockback, with the ones on the handle dealing the least and the ones at the tip dealing the most. As a result, hitting a tipper in the [[Home-Run Contest]] knocks [[Sandbag]] the farthest, and is the usual method of finishing Sandbag, unless the character has an attack that is stronger such as the [[Warlock Punch]]. The tipper still exists in normal play, though the distinction is typically irrelevant, as the non-tipper hitboxes are enough for a one-hit KO regardless.
-An '''aerial tipper''' is a tipper in which one hits Sandbag while it is still in the air. It sends Sandbag farther than a normal tipper.
+An '''aerial tipper''' is a tipper in which one hits Sandbag while it is still in the air. In ''[[Melee]]'', it sends Sandbag farther than a normal tipper due to the mechanics of the [[Sakurai angle]]; in ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[SSB4]]'', this has been changed to a fixed angle, removing the distinction.
