Neutral attack

Line 20:

A '''neutral infinite''' (often called a '''rapid jab''', and officially known as a '''flurry attack''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'') is a constantly-looping flurry of incredibly fast and weak attacks that link into each other. Once this attack is launched, it can be indefinitely looped by pressing the attack button repeatedly in ''SSB'' and ''Melee'', or by simply holding it from ''Brawl'' onward. Despite their indefinite nature, neutral infinites can be escaped relatively quickly with proper [[DI]] and [[SDI]], especially prior to ''Smash 4''. Later games mitigate this by speeding up their hit rate and lowering their [[SDI multiplier]]s (as well as weakening SDI itself), as well as slightly pushing the attacker back each hit after landing a certain number of hits.

The neutral infinite ends once the attack button is released. Prior to ''[[Smash 4]]'', this causes the character to simply stop attacking – however, from ''Smash 4'' onwards, neutral infinites have a final hit known as a '''finisher''' that is designed to launch opponents away, and is used once the attack button is released. Since no new button input is made to activate this final hit, it is not its own stage of the natural combo.

The neutral infinite ends once the attack button is released. Prior to ''[[Smash 4]]'', this causes the character to simply stop attacking, which in consequence would leave the opponent close enough to potentially punish the user – however, from ''Smash 4'' onwards, neutral infinites have a final hit known as a '''finisher''' that is designed to launch opponents away, and is used once the attack button is released. Since no new button input is made to activate this final hit, it is not its own stage of the natural combo. While most finishers are designed to simply create space between the user and victim, some infinites have KO potential, with notable ones including [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Bayonetta]].

Characters like [[Kirby]], [[Fox]], [[Sheik]] and ~~[[Bowser Jr.]]~~ are known for possessing neutral infinites. [[Meta Knight]] is unique for having ''only'' a neutral infinite, and no standard neutral attack beforehand. Instead, his [[forward tilt]] is a three-part attack.
