'''Approach Attacks''' are attacks that move the character a considerable distance while simultaneously having a damaging [[hitbox]]. Thus these attacks provide a safer approach than simply [[walking]] through offensive strategies. Also, most approach attacks are [[Special Move| Special Moves]], meaning they can be used for [[recovery]].
[[File:Jigglypuff Neutral B SSBU.gif|thumb|200px|Jigglypuff's [[Rollout]], its [[neutral special]] in every ''Smash Bros.'' title since ''Melee'', is an example of an approaching attack.]]
'''Approaching attacks''' are attacks that move the character a considerable distance while simultaneously having a damaging [[hitbox]] and/or [[grabbox]]. Thus, these attacks provide a good, possibly hard to predict, and sometimes safe approach option through offensive strategy rather than [[walking]], [[running]], [[jumping]], etc. However, such moves can often be very easy to punish if the opponent anticipates them, though a move's punishability is on a case-by-case basis. The most basic examples of approaching attacks attack would be [[dash attack]]s and [[dash grab]]s. Also, some approach attacks are [[special move]]s, which often but not always means that they can be used for [[recovery]].
