An '''aerial attack''' ({{ja|空中攻撃|Kūchū kōgeki}}, ''Midair attack'') is any move that is performed in midair that is not a [[ground attack|grounded attack]] or [[special move]]. Their official terms vary between titles; they are known as '''midair attacks''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and '''air attacks''' in ''[[Brawl]]'', ''[[Smash 4]]'' and ''[[Ultimate]]''. Most aerial attacks deal moderate damage (9%-14%). Aerial attacks can be [[L-cancel]]led in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|SSB]]'' and ''Melee''.

The types of aerial attacks are listed below, with a list of their typical uses:

*[[Neutral aerial]]: Usually fast, weak moves that are good [[out of shield]], starting combos, or for interrupting enemy attacks; some are [[sex kick]]s that deal less damage as time passes.
*[[Forward aerial]]: Tend to have large hitboxes, making them good for [[edgeguard]]ing and combos; several throughout the series are notorious for their high utility in general combat.
*[[Back aerial]]: Often the fighter's strongest aerial, compensated with a small hitbox or long startup lag. Some combine speed and power to make them a reliable aerial KO move.
*[[Up aerial]]: Many are useful juggling tools with good chainability and a wide range, being a big part of many fighters' aerial combos.
*[[Down aerial]]: Almost always a multi-hit, [[stall then fall]], and/or [[meteor smash]], making them capable tools for offstage edgeguarding.

Certain characters with a [[tether grab]] also possess a [[grab aerial]], which is used by pressing the grab button. Similarly, characters who can [[glide]] possess a [[glide attack]], which is used when attacking out of a glide.

==Trivia==
*Since ''Melee'', a number of select aerial attacks have a small spark effect akin to smash attack; the aerials that possess such special effects often change from game to game.
