The neutral aerial (abbreviated as "nair", "NAir", "n-air" or "ANA") is an aerial attack that is performed in midair by pressing the A Button, and no direction on the control stick. Its official term varies between titles, where it is known as a "Standard Midair Attack" in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and a "Standard Air Attack" in Brawl. Most characters' neutral aerials are fast, high-range moves useful for bettering other air attacks. Many neutral aerials are also sex kicks.
Notable characters' neutral aerials
- Captain Falcon's neutral aerial is very useful in comboing thanks to the fact that there are two kicks on it and the second has a knockback which is perfect for landing correctly and still jumping again and attack again.
- Samus' neutral aerial is an excellent sex kick which lasts a large amount of time and is strong enough to prevent enemies from getting closer.
- Luigi's neutral aerial shares similar properties with Samus' but has less range.
- Marth's neutral aerial makes Marth spin twice hitting any enemy and throwing him horizontally with some upward knockback.
