Talk:Ground attack

Inconsistent mess
The definition for a "ground attack" is a complete and utter mess. The "aerial attack" page defined itself as 'an attack done midair that is not a special move'*, which is a decent definition. The ground attack page, on the other hand, says that a "ground attack" is any attack done on the ground (including special moves). 50

The pages refer to different senses of the words in their title: aerial attack talks about what people in the Smash community consider to be something, and ground attack utilizes the dictionary meaning instead. This is already an issue in and of itself, but this also created a secondary issue in the SSF2 Attacks template, because it considered special moves to be a separate category, when in fact, due to this wrong definition of "ground attack", they're actually ground attacks as well! 50

That said, I'm overhauling the page to fix this glaring issue. This talk page section was written exclusively for explanatory purposes.
