The '''side special move''' (also commonly called '''side B''' or '''forward B''') is a [[special attack]] is a performed by holding the [[control stick]] horizontally and pressing the special move button.
The '''side special move''' (also commonly called '''forward B''', '''side B''', '''smash B''', or '''over B''') is a [[special attack]] performed by pressing the special move button with the control stick held left or right.


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.

[[File:Power missile.jpg|thumb|275px|Samus' Super Missile is an example of a "smash" special move in Brawl.]]
Some side special moves are different depending on whether or not the control stick (or pad) is [[tap]]ped/"smashed" or simply tilted to the side. The side special moves affected by this are:


Some side special moves have different properties depending on how they are activated. The moves have "Smash inputs," which means that the [[control stick]] (or pad) is [[tap]]ped/"smashed" at the same time the [[special move button]] is pressed. This will create a different outcome compared to simply tilting the stick to the side and then pressing the button. The differences are typically the move dealing more damage, having a longer range, and/or a faster startup, though some activate a different move entirely. Most moves are objectively better with a smash input, though some have specific drawbacks that would make the regular version better in certain situations.
*[[Link]], [[Young Link]] and [[Toon Link]]'s [[Boomerang]]: Flies a further distance and at a faster speed, also dealing more damage. [[Gale Boomerang]] is also affected, but its damage is not increased.
 
*[[Samus]] and [[Dark Samus]]'s [[Missile]]s: Instead of the regular missile, a more powerful, faster, non-homing missile known as a Super Missile is fired. The [[Mii Gunner]]'s [[Gunner Missile]]s also have this property.
