Ground attack

Combo
A standard attack, also known as a jab, neutral P, neutral A, or neutral combo, is an attack performed by pressing the P button while one's character is standing,. Jabs are typically fast, short-ranged, weak hits that are useful for starting combos, or breaking opponents'. Many jabs, such as Mario's, form natural "neutral" combos of two or three hits, the final hit usually inflicting the most damage and knockback, while others, such as Kirby"s, rapid fist, continuous, multi-hit attacks that opponents must often DI out of.

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.

Depending on the character, a tilt attack might be a simple kick or a swinging or a weapon. Most are weak. Weapon holders (such as Link or Ichigo) have long ranged tilt attacks, while melee fighters (Mario, Wario, Peach) have short ranged tilt attacks.

Smash Attacks
The Smash Attack also has Up, Side, and Down versions. You perform a Smash Attack by tapping a directional button at the same time as the standard attack button. Smash attacks can be charged up, and are usually very powerful, making them at times the most viable option for KOs.
