B-reversing was first introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and is retained in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as well. To execute a B-reverse, the player must input a special move, then quickly tap the direction opposite the one they are facing.

The momentum shift happens almost instantly and is very useful. For example, [[Mario]] can jump away from his opponent, as if to retreat, then B-reverse a Fireball to close distance while landing behind a projectile. [[Diddy Kong]] is able to gather lots of momentum with his [[Monkey Flip]], then B-reverse his [[Peanut Popgun]] on a moment's notice to avoid or attack his opponent. Even better, the popgun can be canceled with the shield button, making this an especially flexible movement option. [[Snake]] sees just as much use out of the technique, as he can B-reverse with [[Grenades]] and [[C4]] to avoid being juggled by opponents after recovering high above the stage. | The momentum shift happens almost instantly and is very useful.

However, before ''Ultimate'', it could only be performed in the air. In ''Ultimate'', the new [[dash cancel]] mechanics now allow characters to perform grounded turnaround-Bs. | ||
A turnaround-B will cause the character to change the direction they are facing right before starting the special move. While B-reversing requires a direction to be input right after a special move, a turnaround-B is done by tapping the direction away from where the character is facing ''before'' the special move. In the case where the player wished to do a turnaround neutral special, they must be sure to let the control stick reset to a neutral position before pressing | A turnaround-B will cause the character to change the direction they are facing right before starting the special move.

For example, when a player reverses the direction of their up special to recover, they are performing a turnaround up-B. In ''Melee'', Falco will often perform a turnaround-B to shoot a laser at his foe when he retreats with a [[short hop laser]]. | ||
In ''Smash 64'', while reverse neutral special moves do not exist, it is possible to turn around while performing a neutral special move by simply tilting the Control Stick left or right, as side specials do not exist in this game. | In ''Smash 64'', while reverse neutral special moves do not exist, it is possible to turn around while performing a neutral special move by simply tilting the Control Stick left or right, as side specials do not exist in this game. | ||

B-sticking requires that the player be using the [[GameCube Controller|GameCube]], [[Classic Controller|Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro]], [[Wii U Pro Controller]], [[Wii U GamePad]], [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]] or dual [[Joy-Con]]. The player must then go to Options → Controls and change the control scheme 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 smash attacks, it executes special moves. This also gives B-sticking its name, since the player is using the C-Stick to perform special moves. | B-sticking requires that the player be using the [[GameCube Controller|GameCube]], [[Classic Controller|Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro]], [[Wii U Pro Controller]], [[Wii U GamePad]], [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]] or dual [[Joy-Con]] with a custom name.
