Heavy Smash

One half of this update's Data East violent sport series! (the other being Windjammers, in a separate thread)

Hmmm, this one's gonna need some fixing.

There's a paragraph cut/pasted wholesale from Windjammers' description.

I see what you're talking about.

When you're in possession of the disc, tapping the A button will throw it, and the sooner you hit the button when it’s in your hand, the faster it'll go out. If you toss the disc the very instant you catch it, your character will yell out something and launch the disc so quickly it leaves a trail behind it, making it extremely difficult to catch. If you don't hit the button at all, however, you'll toss the disc extremely slowly. Hitting the B button while you’re holding the disc will lob it over the net, which is better used for faking out your opponent more than anything, given how slow the actual toss itself will be. It also gives your opponent the opportunity to use more powerful throws against you, so it's best saved until you know what you’re doing.

But maybe they just play identically? The author originally requested that these two games be covered together in the same article, but since no one really knows Heavy Smash, and they aren't related by name just by mechanics, I decided to have them split and just link them together. (Which still needs to be done.)

They don't. I've played quite a bit of Heavy Smash. There's no disc in Heavy Smash. No tennis-stle net either.

That's a Windjammers-only thing.

I... yeah, that's my fault. Sorry. X:
