Forward aerial

A forward aerial, also known as a forward air and commonly abbreviated as a f-air, is an aerial attack in Super Smash Flash 2 or Fraymakers that is performed by pressing attack input and the direction that the character is facing in conjunction while in midair. It can also be performed in SSF2 by pressing the facing direction with the "C-Stick" controls in midair or in Fraymakers by pressing the facing direction with the "secondary stick" controls in midair when assigned to tilt attacks or strong attacks.

Forward aerials typically hit directly in front of the character and vary in terms of function. They often have large hitboxes and are used for extending combos, spacing, and edgeguarding, with many forward aerials being potent KO moves as well.

In SSF2, attempting to forward aerial while holding a throwing item throws it a large distance forward, and doing so while holding a shooting item fires it.
