The RAR (Reverse Aerial Rush), is a technique originated in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which allows players to attack an opponent with their Back Aerial Attack while rushing them. It returns in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. The main purpose of this technique is to allow characters to use their Back Aerials in front of them, since many characters' Back Aerials are faster and more powerful compared to their Forward Aerials. Characters like Falco, whose Forward Aerial is not so useful and very ineffective to KO, greatly benefit from RAR.
