Approaching attack
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
Approach Attacks are those that can also be considered projectiles that use the character's body as the projectile. I.e. the attack moves the character a considerable distance (e.g. Wolf's Side Smash, although it moves him, would not be in this category as the distance is not significant). Thus these attacks provide a safer approach than simply Walking through offensive strategies.
