Aerial Attacks

Neutral Air - Tail Spin

While airborne, Sceptile backflips with its tail partially outstretched. This move stays active for quite a while.


Forward Air - X-Scissor

While airborne, Sceptile raises its arms before swiping them downward in an X-shape as its blades extend. This attack is stronger at the tip of Sceptile's blades.


Back Air - Overhead Kick

While airborne, Sceptile kicks behind itself in an overhead fashion. It's a solid move with deceptive range and speed.


Up Air - Double Blade Swipe

While airborne, Sceptile swipes above itself twice in an arch. Similarly to Up Smash, the first hit scoops up opponents into the second hit.


Down Air - Bouncing Aerial Kick

While airborne, Sceptile dives at a downward angle with a kick. Upon coming into contact with an opponent, Sceptile will recoil off of its foe. Though unlike Dash Attack, Sceptile will bounce, even if hitting an opponent's shield. Additionally, if landing on-stage with this move, Sceptile will slide for a short distance. (1/2)

Upon striking an enemy with Down Air, Sceptile will recoil up and away from its foe. While not as fast as Dash Attack's bounce, this move's bounce can still be acted out of rather early. However, Sceptile won't be able to interrupt as early if bouncing off an opponent's shield. Additionally, the bounce trajectory can be influenced with the Control Stick in a similar fashion to Dash Attack's bounce. (2/2)
