The neutral game, or just neutral, is a phase during gameplay when no player has a situational advantage over the other. In this phase, either player's objective is to "win the neutral game", i.e. land a hit with possible follow-ups, or punish the enemy for a failed attempt to do so.

Some characters have an advantage during the neutral game. For example, a projectile may be used to pressure the enemy into making a move. Other possible advantages include attack range and mobility.
