A sex kick is an aerial kick that is stronger during the initial thrust and weaker afterwards. While some sex kicks only have one hitbox for the thrust, others have a series which grow progressively weaker. Other typical attributes of a sex kick include low startup time and high landing lag. It was first introduced in Super Smash Flash 2, though similar attacks exist in Super Smash Flash.
Although the term classically refers to only neutral aerials, smashers often extend its usage to other aerial attacks with similar properties, such as Naruto's back aerial. Captain Falcon's Knee Smash is an extreme example of a sex kick, with enormous power when it first comes out and little knockback after the strong hitbox has faded.
