Not counting [[Final Smash]]es, the side special is the only special attack to originate in a game other than the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' - namely, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. In the original, pressing the special button with the stick held sideways would result in a [[neutral special move]]. With the introduction of side specials in ''Melee'', some characters' neutral specials were changed to be side specials, with a new neutral special taking their place.

Many side specials involve either significant sideways character movement or a [[projectile]] that has a better horizontal range than the user's other projectiles. As a result, many can be utilized as [[approach]]es, while those that grant a movement boost tend to be a fighter's horizontal [[recovery]] move.
