Attack

An attack is an action performed to attack the opponent in order to damage them, and ultimately, knock them back beyond the blastzones for a KO.

There are several types of attack that can be performed.


 * Neutral attacks, commonly referred to as jabs, are attacks performed by pressing the attack button when the character is on the ground, is standing still, and the control stick is in a neutral position.
 * Dash attacks are attacks performed by pressing the attack button when the character is on the ground and running.
 * Tilt attacks (officially referred to as light directional attacks) are attacks performed by pressing the attack button simultaneously with a direction while the character is on the ground and standing still or walking.
 * Strong attacks are attacks performed by pressing, or preferably holding, the strong (attack) button along with a direction (with no direction, it will perform a forward strong) the character is on the ground (with the exception of Wrastor) and standing still. If the player has the "Strong Attack" setting enabled, it will allow the player to perform strong attacks by tapping the control stick.
 * Aerial attacks are attacks performed by pressing the attack button and/or a direction in mid-air.
 * Special attacks (referred to as specials or special moves) are attacks performed by pressing the special button and/or a direction.
