Waluigi is the best hitter with this glitch... 

What's crazy is that the power difference in charge timing is pretty small for the rest of the characters. But for Waluigi, he gets a MASSIVE boost if you time it right.

That's why Waluigi isn't in Smash, because he would be canonically stronger than Master Hand _obviously_

On the official description with Waluigi, it says "Charge swings drop power, but increase hits." Maybe that's why.

It’s really interesting to see more being discovered abt the game, such as this glitch. Also, with the type of hit being predetermined, the question becomes what is causing the probability of it being a home run to increase/decrease on any given pitch?

Kinda similar to how diddy has no chem with miis were it's just like theres no reason behind it its just kinda there

I guess I underestimated Waluigi in this game. I always had trouble landing a hit with Waluigi at bat, but this is a really neat discovery! Waluigi certainly had some tricks up his sleeve and I didn't even know it! 😅

I honestly thought that when people told to charge late with waluigi that they were just memeing, but after I saw your video I went to test it out myself. The first time I charge late with waluigi he hits an amazing dinger and I was speechless. I'm definitely will try to incorporate waluigi into my team after this.

This feels less like a glitch, and more intentional to me, since his power and slap hits are already reversed.

pls keep making these guides/discoveries they’re interesting

In Superstar Baseball, there's an RNG seed on each pitch that will give you the same trajectory for hits as well. I'm not sure when it's determined but it's possible that it looks several pitches or even follows a sequence for certain at bats. Not entirely sure what the specifics are but it seems to be a similar case for Sluggers.

It could be intended if we keep in mind that is waluigi

So hits are predetermined, so I think the hitting stat just increases the chances of hitting a homerun.

I accidentally did this glitch in my upcoming sluggers video on my channel, and then I found this.

i love these kind of mythbusting/informative videos!

Ah nothing like a short vid to entertain me while I have the disease that must not be named

theres other players who have crazy slap hits such as magikoopas, king boo, boo, and boomerang bro. Whenever these player hit the ball in the air to the opposite field, it keeps carrying and carrying

I remember using Mario as a batter then I did a late charge swing and it was hit when the charge zone was big but I somehow got a slap hit it was confusing.

I would love to see if you can hit a home run with a character while using a pure slap hit, absolutely no charge

CPU getting a triple play 💀💀💀

I feel like this could be related to the pitch being thrown, and not about the game predetermining how much power you swing with. Like you could be getting the same result every time because it was an identical pitch from the CPU, not because the game deciding how much power each pitch can be hit by your bat. Idk though, just a fan of the game 😂 #BringSluggersToSwitch

I remember in Mario Superstar Baseball there was a batting tutorial that mentioned timing your charged bat swings to get a more powerful hit. Though, I don't remember if Sluggers mentions this in-game as well. However, I didn't realize in Sluggers that hits were predetermined. I am wondering if that is also the case in Superstar Baseball as well?

wow that's so cool

Is u resetting the like pitch a mod?

4:17 ha koopa

So is the hit predetermined before the ab or is a new hit predetermined before each pitch?

waloogie

It's a timing thing

Weird

I love how this game is so old and people are still making discoveries

I really don’t like that the hits are predetermined it’s so bad for competitive play. Even if you get the read and good timing on the pitch it should be a HR but it is a fly out sometimes. That’s just bad.

“If we load up really early….oh he got a home run..”

I'm glad to see that the baby monke got a dinger animation this vid

I got a home run off DKs star pitch

Your emulator graphics look way more HD than mines lol

Huh, that's weird

why does your game look like it has a HD filter.
