Bots[]

There are 4 types of bots for Home-Run-Bat: Normal, BlueBox, Follow and Monster.

Normal Bots[]

These bots can't do special attacks and perform very ineffective attacks and unfinished combos. Expect: DickSwett, Rice, and the two inverted bots in One Man Army.

For certain bots, they are modified to do special attacks only after side combos and do somewhat effective attacks and do some full combos (diagonal swing and up attack). With the basic combo, they either spam players with it, or follow it up with the side combo. Expect: BlueBox and redBox.

BlueBox Bots[]

Named because only enemies named BlueBox have this style in Combat Tournament Legends. They're mostly like Normal Bots, but adds the backhand combo. They also roll to avoid attacks sometimes or do it randomly. They will also perform special attacks from a lock-on distance away from their target.

Follow Bots[]

These bots will spam combos on you every chance they got. One combo involves them backhanding you then follows it up with the side combo, and then tops it off with an up attack and an air attack. One of their combos are when they do a diagonal swing, down strike, and then a forward strike either tops it off with the down combo, or they spin their baseball bat doing mediocre damage. They will also do special attacks from a lock-on distance away. Expect: BlackChicken and JackNDick.

Monster Bots[]

These bots are the same as Follow Bots, but they function slightly differently. They are unable to do the diagonal swing, but can now dodge incoming attacks (including in the air, which could be an oversight), crouch and jump in place to attack an enemy that gets too close to them. Expect: BlackChicken.

Skin IDs[]

By changing the object name of the character sprite object for any Home-Run-Bat CPU in a level frame, you can actually change their accessories, but there is a random chance for some characters that it might backfire and delete the A.I.'s code.

Home-Run-Bat Face Skins-0

Skins modified to be changed to the other faces on Home-Run-Bat.

  • E1: Red spinning block head; Used by Bitch (MY NAME IS BETTY!) and one of the opponents in Can you see the enemys?.
  • E2: BlueBox's head; Red eyebrows and is blue by default.
  • E3: Smiley face with googly eyes; Used but hard to make out since characters who use this, specifically redBox and DickSwett, who are a completely solid color.

  • E5: The same as E4; Used by BlackChicken and JackNDick.

  • There is a block head with a color gradient, closed eyes and flat unibrow; This head isn't used by any CPUs in the game, and thus, this head is unused. It is said that this head was a prototype of BlueBox's head.

Combat Tournament Rewind[]

In the final release of Combat Tournament Rewind, he is able to be selected only in the Versus mode of the game. The character was never actually finished for the game, and when having him selected for a CPU or the player, the game locks up when trying to load up a match.

Trivia[]

  • Home-Run-Bat is one of the starter characters in Combat Tournament Legends, along with Mr. Slaptastic.
  • His voice clips are taken from the game "Worms Armageddon". The voice clips he uses are from the Kamikaze Worm.
  • Home-Run-Bat is the only character that cannot crouch. The reason Home-Run-Bat cannot crouch is because this ActionScript code is not present in Sprite 990 in Combat Tournament and Sprite 1811 in Combat Tournament Legends.

else if(Key.isDown(DownKey) && onground)

         {

            if(_currentframe != 5)

            {

               gotoAndStop("Duck");

            }

         }

Home-Run-Bat-unused-crouch

If this code is put in the right place in the script for Sprite 990/Sprite 1811, this will make Home-Run-Bat be able to crouch in-game.

  • Home-Run-Bat's special can be dodged by crouching under it (Mr. Red is the only character that still gets hit by the special, even when crouching).
  • His special attack was given more startup lag in Combat Tournament Legends and also gives him a push forward when it ends.
  • Attack 16 has more utility in Combat Tournament Legends, now acting similar to Attack 14.
  • Attack 6 was given more utility in Combat Tournament Legends, now being able to be followed up by Attack 16 and Attack 17 and also Attack 12 when holding down before it ends.
  • In Combat Tournament, sometimes his moves can make himself fall out the map or into spikes.
    • This is most commonly done by doing the final hit of Attack 13 near an incline, and he dashes forward quickly enough that he clips through the ramp out of map or into the spikes.
  • To make his baseball bat red for Attack 15 and Attack 16, all of the green color is removed from the normal green baseball bat, making it red with a dark purple handle.
    • This is also why JackNDick, BlackChicken (Home-Run-Bat) and OldDirtyBasterd's heads and bodies are completely black and also have Sangria-colored baseball bats.
  • In the second frame of Attack 12, the baseball bat is very flat.
  • In certain animation frames for some of his attacks, he ends up looking very discombobulated.
  • If a Home-Run-Bat/CPU gets launched by an attack that has wall rebound properties, if he/they touches the ground in a launched state, he/they get a random burst of speed to the right when they land on the ground, regardless of the direction being faced.
GrabPlayer

207.986x207.986px

SpecialUpB

He has 2 (mostly) unused moves: A grab and a secondary special. The grab is just a two handed grab where he brings an enemy face to face. The Frame Name for the move is called GrabPlayer. The move also has its own associated hitbox called GRAB. The secondary special was added in Combat Tournament Legends, and could've been used if he activated his special while grabbing someone. The Frame Name for the move is called SpecialUpB. The special shows him raising his arm and blasting up, and the hitboxes are called blast2. The hitboxes are similar in size to the used special attack. Both of these attacks also have Frame Labels, but they can't be executed in-game unless an input key is assigned to them, which is where the "mostly" part comes in. These attacks were most likely left out due to coding errors.

Through use of modifying the scripts of Sprite 990 in Combat Tournament/Sprite 1811 in Combat Tournament Legends, it can be noted that GrabPlayer's hitbox can hit, but the move is unfinished, as you are stuck in the grabbed state if you grab somebody, with movement then only limited to left and right. This move also only can grab Home-Run-Bat characters. If you are hit out of the grabbed state, then you can move around like normally, but you will always be in constant motion if you hold left or right, regardless of any other actions you perform afterwards, which means performing an attack in this state will allow you to move while the attack is in action, even if performed before pressing left or right, as the game thinks you are still grabbing somebody, which override normal grounded movement physics with different movement physics, and as game doesn't intend for you to get hit out of it, is why movement isn't restricted when holding left or right during other actions, like attacking.

For SpecialUpB, it can be noted that despite the move having hitboxes, the hitboxes do not hit. This is because blast2 hitboxes, which the move uses, are not coded to interact with character hitboxes, and is why the hitboxes do activate, but do not hit.
