A '''special [[move]]''' ({{ja|必殺技 or 必殺ワザ|Hissatsu Waza}}, ''Sure-Killing Art''), also known as a '''special attack''', is any move performed by pressing the special button, the [[B button]] by default. Like the name suggests, special moves are unique attacks that can have wildly different functions, unlike "normal" attacks (such as [[neutral attack]]s or [[tilt attack]]s) which often function as standard punches, kicks, and weapon swings. In many cases, special moves provide more tactical advantages compared to normal attacks and do more damage than [[smash attack]]s, although this differs between every special move.

Special attacks are unique to a character's fighting style, and are almost always homages to abilities that the character can use in their home games; for example, [[Kirby]] can use his signature [[Inhale]] to [[copy ability|copy abilities]].
