A '''natural combo''' is a move composed of multiple parts; pressing the relevant button at the correct time will launch the next segment of the move, while not pressing the button will end the sequence. They can be found in all four games.
A '''natural combo''' is a move composed of multiple parts; pressing the relevant button at the correct time will launch the next segment of the move, while not pressing the button will end the sequence. Despite the similar terminology, natural combos are not always [[combo]]s; the sequence of attacks is not guaranteed to hit the opponent if the first hit connects due to techniques like [[SDI]].
Natural combos are sometimes, but not necessarily, [[combo]]s; the sequence of attacks is not guaranteed to hit the opponent if the first hit connects due to techniques like [[SDI]].
 
Sometimes used interchangeably with [[neutral attack]], its most common type, most characters will perform multiple attacks (such as [[Mario]]'s jab, cross, kick), and some characters will launch into a rapid attack.
 
Some characters, such as [[Link]], [[Snake]] and [[Bayonetta]], have natural combos using their [[tilt]]s, aerials, or [[smash attack|smash]]es as well.
 
[[Marth]], [[Roy]], [[Lucina]], and [[Chrom]]'s [[side special move]]s are also natural combos; after the first strike, players can press up, side, or down for three more attacks, each time yielding a different attack.
 
[[Ganondorf]], [[Isabelle]] and [[Zelda]] (prior to ''Ultimate'') are currently the only characters to lack a natural combo.

Some characters, such as [[Snake]], [[Bayonetta]] and [[Link]], have natural combos using their [[tilt]]s, [[aerial attack|aerial]]s, or [[smash attack|smash]]es, and some special moves, like [[Dancing Blade]] and [[Cross Slash]], are natural combos as well.
