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


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.

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.
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:


===List of side special moves with smash inputs===
