Mario's sex kick in Brawl

The term "sex kick" was coined by smasher Matt Deezie, and refers to an aerial attack which remains extended for a few moments after the initial thrust. Usually a kick, they consist of the thrust (kicking motion) and the extension (leg remaining out).

Almost always a neutral aerial, though sometimes a back aerial, the signature aspect of a sex kick is that they are stronger during the initial thrust and weaker afterwards (with the exception of Dr. Mario's sex kick, which is weaker in the first few frames). In Brawl, the initial hit can connect for only the first frame of the attack. While some sex kicks only have one hitbox for the thrust, others have a series which grow progressively weaker. Other typical attributes of a sex kick include low startup time and landing lag.

Although the term classically refers to only neutral aerials, smashers often extend its usage to other aerial attacks with similar properties, such as Fox's back aerial in Melee.
