A semi-spike or pseudo-spike is a type of attack that does not send the opponent directly downward, but instead in a mostly horizontal trajectory which (due to gravity) will quickly turn into a vertical trajectory. This is distinct from a meteor smash, which sends the enemy downwards without a prior horizontal trajectory. Semi-spikes are dangerous as they often leave targets below and away from the edge, one of the worst positions to recover from. When landing semi-spikes on inclines, there will usually be little to no audible reaction from the character or the audience due to the fact that, like a meteor smash/spike landing on a grounded opponent, the character being hit cannot travel at an angle due to the incline.
