Our take on NAIR

The bounce point arrives at the attack system: players expecting normals, specials, or combo routes will reach the limits immediately. The health recovery rule adds another adjustment, since landing hits restores the attacking character rather than only damaging the opponent.

What is NAIR?

NAIR is a fighting game built around one offensive move: an attack usable only in the air.

Matches focus on quick ground movement associated with platform fighters, including wavedashing, while each successful hit restores health. This creates a back-and-forth health system where a losing fighter can recover through landed attacks. The game includes online matches, controller remapping, alternate themes, hitbox display, and additional modes. Players can use it for movement practice or informal matches.

How NAIR plays

01Air attack system: The fighter has one offensive move, and it can only be used while airborne.
02Health tug-of-war: Successful hits restore the attacker’s health, allowing momentum to shift during a match.
03Rollback online play: Online matches use rollback netcode.
04Movement practice: Ground movement includes platform-fighter techniques such as wavedashing.
05Controller options: The game supports controller remapping and broad controller compatibility.
06Combat visualization: A hitbox display is available for examining attack interactions.
07Alternate presentations: Additional themes and game modes provide variations on the standard setup.
