What strategy will get the most distance for Home Run Contest?
I've tried using some characters with many-hit combos (Lil Mac, Yoshi) and I don't seem to be able to get more than 1500 ft. What strategy are the pros using to get those challenges beaten?
Best Answer
Just do as much damage as possible to the sandbag as possible before winding up with the baseball bat.
I myself have found stronger characters work better then fast characters. I got 2000+ ft. with King Dedede by hitting a spike ball at the sandbag repetitively until damage was about 80%-100% then using the baseball bat to deliver the final blow. If your final percent after the final blow is over 119% then you are practically guaranteed to get over 2000 feet.
Edit:
Another important thing that I just realized is the position of the sand bag the further right on the platform it is the further the sand bag will go. I've seen the same damage count on the sandbag yield two very different distances based on where the sandbag was.

How do you hit a far home run contest?
The player(s) must knock a Sandbag as far as possible, usually with the Home-Run Bat given. The player has ten seconds to rack up damage to lengthen the home-run. The most effective technique for dealing high damage very quickly is known as bat dropping.How do you get the farthest home run in Super Smash Bros?
Grab the bat, dash to the sandbag, then hit it with your Upward Smash (up + A), jump immediately and bring it back down to Earth with your down + A aerial move, then repeat the combo. Smash the sandbag with the bat to finish your batting performance. Grab the bat, then jump at the bag and hit down + A to hit it.Whats the Furthest Distance Possible in the Home Run Contest? - Smash Bros. Ultimate

Answer 2
As Ganondorf, without moving and timing it perfectly, do down smash, down smash, forward smash and bunch of forward tilts consecutively until you have to grab the bat then hit it perfectly at the tip. Got me 3,608 ft.
Answer 3
The trick is with Ganondorf but not those is smashes.
if you drop the bat and it hits the opponent he will pick it back up automatically. so I suggest trying that over and over and then smash. I have seen people get up to over 7000 using that strategy.
Answer 4
Ness. Get Sandbag on right, spam pk fire and swing bat at 2 seconds. Should net u 2 to 3.5k feet
Answer 5
With version 1.0.8 comes the costs-money DLC character of Roy. Roy can get over 5,000ft easy peasy. Just do a bunch of f-smashes and f-tilts, and when the clock strikes 4, start charging Flare Blade (neutral special). Just when the clock hits zero, the move should detonate for ~50% damage and massive knockback.
