In both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', a sweetspotted Lightning Kick is the strongest forward and back aerial, being among the few aerial attacks that can reliably [[KO]] under 100%. Along with this great power, both forward and back aerial Lightning Kicks are fairly fast in start-up lag, while having good reach. However, in ''Melee'' both Lightning Kicks can be difficult to sweetspot with Zelda's low mobility along with the spacing requirement to avoid the flub hitboxes, which limits the usefulness of the aerials. In ''Brawl'', the smaller window of opportunity to land the sweetspots leads to even more difficulty in landing them. | In both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', a sweetspotted Lightning Kick is the strongest forward and back aerial, being among the few aerial attacks that can reliably [[KO]] under 100%.

The forward and back aerial versions are very similar appearance wise and statistically. In ''Melee'', the back aerial Lightning Kick is slightly better due to slightly faster start-up lag and slightly stronger knockback. | The forward and back aerial versions are very similar appearance wise and statistically.

''Brawl'' adds electric properties to a sweetspotted [[down air]], making it a "Lightning Stomp" of sorts. | ||
Between ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', Lightning Kick was nerfed in terms of knockback when sourspotted. While a sweetspotted Lightning Kick is still one of the strongest forward and back aerials, its base knockback is decreased. The knockback growth/scaling however, remains the same and can still KO characters under 100%. It also has significantly increased landing lag and can not be auto canceled after a short hop. | Between ''Super Smash Bros.
