A "'''sex kick'''" is an [[aerial]] attack which remains extended for a few moments after the initial thrust. The term was coined by smasher [[Smasher:Matt Deezie|Matt Deezie]] as a sexual innuendo referring to the properties of the attack. Usually a kick, the attack consists of the thrust (kicking motion) and the extension (leg remaining out). | A "'''sex kick'''" is an [[aerial]] attack which remains extended for a few moments after the initial thrust.

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 (SSBM)|Dr. Mario's]] sex kick, which is weaker in the first few frames) | 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 (SSBM)|Dr. Mario's]] sex kick, which is weaker in the first few frames). While most sex kicks have one strong [[hitbox]] and one weak hitbox, others have a series of three 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, [[smasher]]s often extend its usage to other [[aerial]] attacks with similar properties, such as [[Fox (SSBM)|Fox]]'s [[back aerial]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|''Melee'']]. | Although the term classically refers to only neutral aerials, [[smasher]]s often extend its usage to other [[aerial]] attacks with similar properties, such as [[Fox (SSBM)|Fox]]'s [[back aerial]] in [[Super Smash Bros.
