Leg is an attack type in the Super Smash Bros. series that encompasses attacks using a foot or knee.
Leg Attacks are boosted by Leg Attack stickers in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's The Subspace Emissary, the Strong Kick power in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS's Smash Run, and the spirit skill Foot Attack ↑ as well as certain Spirit Battle conditions in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The Leg type is subdivided into two subtypes: Foot and Knee. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the supertype physical (which is boosted by the Physical Attack ↑ spirit skill) encompasses the types Arm, Leg, and Bite.

Trivia
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl Toon Link's forward throw is coded to be a foot attack despite clearly being a shoulder tackle (and therefore should be Body), indicating that his moveset was copied from Link's and edited to fit his body. This was corrected Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.
- In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate several of Ken's attacks are coded as fist attacks despite being foot attacks, the most obvious being his Focus Attack. This is likely due to his moveset being copied from Ryu or from reusing moves as a base and not changing the type.
