Mario's sex kick in Brawl

A sex kick is the generally accepted term for an aerial attack that remains extended for a few moments after the initial thrust. Usually a kick (as implied by the name), sex kicks consist of two parts: the thrust (the actual kicking motion), and the extention (leaving the leg in the extended postion for a short time).

Almost always a neutral aerial, though sometimes a bair, the signature aspect of a sex kick is that it is stronger during the initial extension and weaker afterwards, with the exception of Dr. Mario's. In Brawl, the initial hit can connect for only the first frame of the attack. While some sex kicks only have one hitbox for the extension, others have more than one, which grow progressively weaker. Other typical attributes of a sex kick include low startup time and low landing lag.

Although the term classically refers to only neutral aerials, smashers often extend its usage to other aerial attacks with similar properties, such as Fox's back aerial in Melee.

The term "sex kick" was coined by Matt Deezie, though it's unknown exactly why it was so named.

List of Sex Kicks

Almost every character has one sex kick: their neutral aerial. The two exceptions are Donkey Kong, whose sex kick is his back aerial, and Fox, whose neutral aerial and back aerial are both sex kicks (making him the only character with two).
