The Lost Art Of The Sex Kick

[Classic Yayo]

Recently I declared myself a R.O.B main; this is after playing a number of characters. When the game first came out I found myself gravitating to the new comers, checking out the new move sets and ways to gimp people. I’ve probably played all of the new characters extensively, today was the first day I actually played an older character (Donkey Kong) for a long period of time against my friends and I found myself frustrated because my N-air wasn’t working the way I wanted.
That’s when I noticed a lot of the new brawl characters have some sort of spinning N-air attack. Everybody except Lucario, I believe, has an attack where they’re spinning or a sword is getting twirled or spun around. I found this to be really interesting and ask what happened to the CLASSIC sex kick.
I remember the N64 days when it seemed like everybody had a sex kick. Captain Falcon and Pikachu, both had sex kicks in those days. When Melee came out their sex kicks where changed as well as some other characters, which I’m sure I’m forgetting. What happened? Why did the developers change it? All these questions came to me today, so I’ll bring them up to the community what happened to the sex kick? With the new wave of characters, all of which don’t have a sex kick of their own, are we destined to have sex kicks phased out all together?

Back in the N64 days, I believe EVERYONE had a sex kick but maybe Ness who kicked simultaniously in both directions (like a double sex kick).

They removed sex kicks to make characters more unique and different from each other playing wise. Yeah, they may of unnoticably made the other half of the cast that isn't sex kicking do a twirly move, but all the twirly moves are done differently.

As far as nairs go in Brawl, there are now twister twirls, tumbling twirls (like a ball), sex kicks, multikicks (C. Falcon, Snake, Ganondorf), and body slams (King Dedede / Wario)... oh, and there's that fishbowl thing Mr. Game&Watch does.

I'm going to go ahead and assume a sex kick is an n-air that just kicks? Like Mario's?

 

[Steck]

Regular Link, I believe, still has a sex kick. Its not really that amazing as it was in 64.

i loved the sex kicks in n64 because of the long durations, but movesets have to change and thats whut the developers did, and made their nairs more unique, n64 wuz sex kicks, melee wuz in between, brawl is multi hit nairs

 

[Feryx]

actually, Lucario's nair is in fact a twirlygig, a pretty good one at that.

 

[Yuna]

It can be a spinning attack yet remain a sex kick. Peach's Nair works the exact same as a Sex Kick (only it has two hitboxes now) despite it being her twirling.

 

[Forsworn]

Pretty sure Yoshi's N-air is a sex kick.

 

[DTKPch]

Actually, sex kicks that are still in seem to have been nerfed. I think Luigi's lasts shorter, so it's not as "sexy" and Samus's is crap priority, damage, and knockback...

 

[rubiksfriend]

I miss the sex kicks too. Heck, I miss a LOT of things.

 

[Meta Ryu]

mommy...whats a sex kick?

 

[Xarias]

The name sex kick doesn't make a whole lot of sense anyways... sex kicks are kicks that stay out a long time and do less damage the longer they are out. So, is the analogy trying to imply that the longer sex goes on, the worse it gets?? I'm very, very sure that the opposite is true.

So what the hell is with the name?

u are going too deep, it simply means the kick has a longer duration, which refers just like sex, cuz it lasts long..sorta, or the kick is a nice, useful attack, like sex, which is also nice

 

[Finch]

I really really really really miss Falco's sex kick. Seriously his new nair is the worst move in the game second only to his new fair.

 

[Problem2]

you can juggle with Falco's nair though. I agree that his fair is complete and utter crap. Crap damage, crap range, crap priority, and bad landing lag.

Your explanation sucks.

Why call it a sex kick then? There are other, better words you could use if all you want to describe is the "nice, useful" aspect of the attack. Since when is sex nice and useful? And with a bunch of you pansies around here, I doubt it lasts that long, if it happens at all.

Please, someone who actually knows why its called a sex kick, chime in.

 

[D.A.N.]

What happened? Why did the developers change it?

Probably because for a game where so many people complain about having the same move animation, they felt it would be best to try and keep move sets as original as possible.

 

[House M.D.]

d3 has a sex kick (i guess).
spinning nairs are probably a good things since with the decrease in speed, especially horizontal aerial movement, sex kicks aren't as effective as spinning nairs which tend not to be too laggy.
it is still sad though

From the second sticky on the SSB64 forum, good times...

Sex Kick
Widely used to express neutral air. Why it's called a sex kick...

Nothing more nothing less, and it WAS really really useful.

Lol, that makes more sense, I suppose. Too bad they couldn't call it a p-nis kick.

 

[Monshou_no_Nazo]

Some characters still have Sex Kicks, but in every sense of irony I find myself hitting people with Mario's butt or thigh because of how the hit box is.

 

[Zant3tsuken]

Docs gets stronger over time, making the sex analogy quite funny. Sex kicks were probably removed or weakened to make aggressive short hoping less affective.

psssst falco users....stop complaining about your crappy new aerials and spam Dair more!
