An '''aerial attack''' is any attack that is performed in midair that is not a [[special move]]. Their official terms vary between titles; they are known as '''midair attacks''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and '''air attacks''' in ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[Smash 4]]''. Aerial attacks play an especially large role in competitive play because they can be [[L-cancel]]ed and can be performed after a short hop, greatly reducing their [[lag]] and [[start-up time]] as compared to ground attacks. Not to mention making use of aerial momentum is a crucial part in making most aerial attacks good spacing tools. Most aerial attacks deal moderate damage (9%-14%-ish). | An '''aerial attack''' is any attack that is performed in midair that is not a [[special move]].
