Neutral attack

A standard attack, also known as a Jab, Neutral P or Neutral A, is an attack performed by pressing the attack button while the character is standing. Unlike Super Smash Flash, Super Smash Flash 2 encourages better Smash physics, and as such, standard attacks work similarly to how they do in the official Super Smash Bros. games. Standard attacks are typically fast, short-ranged, weak hits that are useful for starting combos or breaking opponents. Many jabs, such as 's or 's, form natural "neutral" combos of two or three hits, with the final hit usually inflicting the most damage and knockback. Others, such as 's or 's, include weak multi-hit attacks as the final hit that opponents must often use directional influence in order to avoid, as they can often be used for infinite amounts of time.

The speed at which each hit in the sequence of a neutral combo is executed can be controlled through the timing of a player's button taps. Combos may be interrupted by crouching or shielding in order to restart them or to perform other moves quickly after canceling.
