'''Lightning Kick''' is the name for [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]'s [[forward aerial]] and [[back aerial]] attacks in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as confirmed by one of her trophies in ''Melee''. It is a highly powerful, [[sweet spot (hitbox)|sweet spotted]] attack - a sweet spotted Lightning Kick [[freeze frame|pauses the opponent in place]] for a second dramatically, before dealing heavy lightning damage and launching them away with huge knockback. An sourspotted hit, on the other hand, delivers very little knockback and much less damage.

This attack is a lot easier to sweetspot bosses because of their big size.


The forward and backward versions are very similar, but the backward version is typically slightly better due to marginally higher speed and knockback.
