A tilt attack, also known as a strong attack, is an attack that includes slightly pressing the attack button in a direction. It has three variants: up, side, and down. Use each by holding a direction, and then pressing the attack button. Weapon holders (such as Link or Ichigo) have long ranged tilt attacks, while melee fighters (such as Mario, Wario and Bomberman) have short ranged tilt attacks. These can be used to start combos.
