-An '''aerial attack''' is any attack that is performed in midair that is not a [[special move]]. Their official terms vary between titles; they are known as "Midair Attacks" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and "Air Attacks" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''. Aerial attacks play an especially large role in competitive play because they can be [[L-canceling|L-canceled]] and can be performed after a short hop, greatly reducing their [[lag]] and [[start-up time]] as compared to ground attacks. Most aerial attacks deal moderate damage (9%-14%-ish).
+An '''aerial attack''' ({{ja|空中攻撃|Kūchū kōgeki}}, ''Midair attack'') is any move that is performed in midair that is not a [[ground attack|grounded attack]] or [[special move]]. Their official terms vary between titles; they are known as '''midair attacks''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and '''air attacks''' in ''[[Brawl]]'', ''[[Smash 4]]'' and ''[[Ultimate]]''. Most aerial attacks deal moderate damage (9%-14%). Aerial attacks can be [[L-cancel]]led in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|SSB]]'' and ''Melee''.

-Aerial attacks include the:
-*[[Neutral aerial]]
-*[[Forward aerial]]
-*[[Back aerial]]
-*[[Up aerial]]
-*[[Down aerial]]
-Gliding characters also possess a [[Gliding#Glide attack|glide attack]], which is used when attacking out of gliding.
+The types of aerial attacks are listed below, with a list of their typical uses:
-Also, characters with a [[Tether Recovery]] or a [[Wall-grapple]] usually possess an extra aerial attack, which is used by pressing the grab button.
+*[[Neutral aerial]]: Usually fast, weak moves that are good [[out of shield]], starting combos, or for interrupting enemy attacks; some are [[sex kick]]s that deal less damage as time passes.
+*[[Forward aerial]]: Tend to have large hitboxes, making them good for [[edgeguard]]ing and combos; several throughout the series are notorious for their high utility in general combat.
+*[[Back aerial]]: Often the fighter's strongest aerial, compensated with a small hitbox or long startup lag. Some combine speed and power to make them a reliable aerial KO move.
+*[[Up aerial]]: Many are useful juggling tools with good chainability and a wide range, being a big part of many fighters' aerial combos.
+*[[Down aerial]]: Almost always a multi-hit, [[stall then fall]], and/or [[meteor smash]], making them capable tools for offstage edgeguarding.
+Certain characters with a [[tether grab]] also possess a [[grab aerial]], which is used by pressing the grab button. Similarly, characters who can [[glide]] possess a [[glide attack]], which is used when attacking out of a glide.
+==''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' digital manual description==
+''"Press {{Button|Wii U|A|s=25px}} while airborne to perform air attacks. Tilting {{Button|Wii U|Control Stick|s=25px}} in a direction and pressing {{Button|Wii U|A|s=25px}} will trigger different moves."''
+==Trivia==
+*Since ''Melee'', a number of select aerial attacks have a small spark effect akin to smash attack; the aerials that possess such special effects often change from game to game.
