'''B-sticking''' refers to changing the control setup to use the [[C-Stick]] for [[special move]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', but can be done without said configuration and is oftentimes referred to then as '''B-reversing''' (players are capable of this in all games). B-Sticking provides a simpler way to perform a '''Recoil Special''', a technique that allows a player to jump forward and start a special move while bouncing backwards. However, this technique can be done similarly with standard controls. Performing Recoil Specials is also sometimes referred to as "'''Wavebouncing'''". | |||
As mentioned above, [[special move]]s can be reversed without using the above configuration. In ''[[Smash 64]]'', reversing a special simply involved using the move while holding the control stick in the opposite direction the character is facing. In ''[[Melee]]'' with the introduction of [[side special move]]s, reversing was a little more difficult to pull off, especially on the ground. Most neutral special moves are automatically reversed depending on the user's momentum. For example, {{SSBM|Falco}} will reverse the direction in which he fires his [[Blaster]] shots if he has [[jump]]ed backwards. In ''[[Brawl]]'', all special moves can be reversed (except for {{SSBB|Mario}}'s [[F.L.U.D.D.]]) by pressing the [[B]] button and immediately pushing the control stick in the direction opposite whichever one the character is facing. While {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}'s and {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s neutral special moves, the [[Falcon Punch]] and [[Warlock Punch]] respectively, can be reversed normally, doing a slightly delayed reverse will have an animation of them actually turning around to perform the punches, dealing even more damage and knockback, but performing them slower as a result. The punches are officially known as reverse Falcon/Warlock punches, and the term "reverse" is often used by players in general, especially when referring to [[up special]]s (this is also the case in ''Melee''). Reversing special attacks can help with movement, especially in the air, as some characters carry momentum when they change direction (such as {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} with his [[Gyromite]] and {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} with his [[Peanut Popgun]], which upon reversing can be canceled if the [[shield]] button is held). | |||
In ''Brawl'', grabs that are reversed are called [[pivot grab]]s. | |||
==Setup== | |||
B-Sticking requires that the player be using the [[GameCube Controller|GameCube]], [[Classic Controller|Classic, Classic Pro]] or [[Wii U Pro Controller]] or the [[Wii U GamePad]] with a custom name. The player must then go in to the Options →Control Settings and change the controls for the controller for their name. The primary change that needs to be made is that the C-Stick must be changed so that instead of performing smashes, it executes Specials. This also gives B-Sticking its name, since the player is using the C-Stick to perform special moves. | |||
==Performing a Recoil Special== | |||
To perform a '''Recoil Special'''<ref>[http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=152409 Thread in Smash Boards about B-Sticking]</ref> with the B-Stick setup, jump forward and immediately move the C-stick in the opposite direction of travel. This will perform the Side Special in midair, and immediately bounce the fighter backwards. This can add some range to the Side Special while spacing the fighter further away from their opponent. [[Up special]]s and [[down special]]s can also be performed like this, by moving the C-Stick between that direction and the diagonal direction behind the direction of travel. That is, between up and up-left diagonal for an up special if moving right, for example. The Standard Special can also be performed by moving the C-Stick directly diagonal in the opposite direction of travel (eg. a Standard Special while moving right, the C-Stick must be moved up-left or down-left). | |||
Note that this will only perform a Special move as if the B button were tapped once. To continue to hold the attack (to charge it or to have an attack like [[Din's Fire]] move further), it is recommended that [[L]], [[R]], or [[Z]] be assigned to perform specials. This way, while the thumb is being used to hit the C-Stick, one of the fingers can press and hold the assigned trigger, allowing the special to continue. | |||
To perform this technique without the c-stick, the player must jump forward, do a special backwards, then immediately smash the control stick or [[D-pad]] forward. This will make the character turn twice, and will create the bound. | |||

==Other uses of the setup== | |||
===Dashing up special=== | |||
Similar to how an up smash can be performed out of a dash, but with this setup, an up special can be performed much the same way. To do this, start to dash, and just before reaching the point where the player wants to perform the up special, press back on the joystick and then up on the C-Stick. The character should continue to slide forward and begin to perform their up special. This technique also works with down specials (such as the [[Luigi Cyclone]]). | Similar to how an up smash can be performed out of a dash, but with this setup, an up special can be performed much the same way.

===[[Reverse Aerial Rush]]=== | |||
The B- | The B-Sticking setup can be used to more easily perform a Back Aerial out of a dash by pressing the C-Stick backwards while running. This will cause the character to turn around and jump while still moving forward. | ||
