Lightning Kick

The move in Melee, as shown by the trophy that named it.

“

Zelda's midair Lightning Kick centers immense magical power in the ball of her foot. If she strikes perfectly, the attack is as strong as can be. If her aim is slightly off, it'll be exceedingly weak.

”

Lightning Kick is the name for 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 spotted attack - a sweet spotted Lightning Kick 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.

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