An '''aerial attack''' is any attack that is performed in midair that is not a [[special move]]. Their official terms vary between titles, where they are known as "Midair Attacks" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and "Air Attacks" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''. Aerial attacks play an especially large role in competitive play because they can be [[L-canceling|L-canceled]] and can be performed after a short hop, greatly reducing their [[lag]] and [[start-up time]] vis-à-vis ground attacks. | |||
Aerial attacks include the [[Standard Air Attack]], [[forward aerial]], [[down aerial]], [[up aerial]] and [[back aerial]]. Gliding characters also possess a Glide Air Attack, which is used when attacking out of gliding. [[Pit (SSBB)|Pit]]'s Glide Air Attack is especially powerful, sometimes even as strong as a [[smash attack]]. | |||
