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]].

Some side special moves | [[File:Power missile.jpg|thumb|275px|Samus' Super Missile is an example of a "smash" special move in Brawl.]] | ||
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. | |||

==Reverse side special move== | ==Reverse side special move== | ||
In ''Brawl'', most side special moves can be reversed in the first few frames | In ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', most side special moves can be reversed in the first few frames, although the usefulness is questionable since any character can quickly turn around on the spot and immediately perform their side special move. The only true use for a reverse side special is while running; when running, the player cannot use their side special backward without having to stop or turn around first. The reverse side special can be done while running and gives certain characters boosts when turning around, the most notable boosts being Donkey Kong's and Luigi's reverse side specials, where the former gets a quick boost backward and has an unsurprising hit, and the latter will keep sliding forward while being able to charge his move. | ||

Latest revision as of 06:38, January 14, 2024
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 Smashes, 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 approaches, while those that grant a movement boost tend to be a fighter's horizontal recovery move.
Smash special move[edit]
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 tapped/"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.
List of side special moves with smash inputs[edit]
Character(s) | Move | Difference |
---|---|---|
Link Young Link Toon Link |
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 Dark Samus |
Missile | Instead of the regular missile, a more powerful, faster, non-homing missile known as a Super Missile is fired. |
Pikachu | Skull Bash | Immediately activates with a slight charge. |
Luigi | Green Missile | Immediately activates with a slight charge. |
Peach Daisy |
Peach Bomber Daisy Bomber |
Flies a further distance and travels at a faster speed. |
Wario | Wario Bike | Moves faster and deals more damage. |
Ivysaur | Razor Leaf | Travels at a faster rate and is more powerful, but its trajectory cannot be arced as effectively. |
Diddy Kong | Monkey Flip | Flies faster and farther. |
King Dedede | Gordo Throw | Gordos travel farther and faster. |
Duck Hunt | Clay Shooting | Moves faster and does more damage on contact. In the case of Clay Break it will never break until the 3rd hit, while in the case of Rising Clay it scales in damage faster and arcs up lower and later. |
Mii Brawler | Burning Dropkick | Immediately activates with a slight charge. |
Mii Swordfighter | Airborne Assault | Immediately activates with a slight charge. |
Chakram | Flies much farther, dealing more damage. | |
Mii Gunner | Gunner Missile | Instead of the regular missile, a more powerful, faster, non-homing missile known as a Super Missile is fired. |
Palutena | Explosive Flame | The distance of the explosion is increased. |
Simon Richter |
Cross | Travels farther and faster. |
Isabelle | Fishing Rod | The line travels a further distance and at a faster speed. |
Byleth | Areadbhar | Byleth travels farther forward during the swing. |
Pyra | Blazing End | The thrown sword travels farther and hits one more time. |
Reverse side special move[edit]
In Brawl, SSB4 and Ultimate, most side special moves can be reversed in the first few frames, although the usefulness is questionable since any character can quickly turn around on the spot and immediately perform their side special move. The only true use for a reverse side special is while running; when running, the player cannot use their side special backward without having to stop or turn around first. The reverse side special can be done while running and gives certain characters boosts when turning around, the most notable boosts being Donkey Kong's and Luigi's reverse side specials, where the former gets a quick boost backward and has an unsurprising hit, and the latter will keep sliding forward while being able to charge his move.
List of side special moves[edit]
Character | Move | Description |
---|---|---|
Banjo & Kazooie | Wonderwing | Banjo charges forward as Kazooie shields him with her wings. This move overrides almost any attack, although they are still open to grabs. It can only be used five times per stock, not allowed to be used again until he gets KOed |
Bayonetta | Heel Slide / After Burner Kick | When used on the ground, Bayonetta attacks with Heel Slide, a sliding kick. When used in air, it becomes After Burner Kick, a diagonal diving kick that can be angled up or down. |
Bowser | Koopa Klaw | A claw swipe that launches opponents near the edge of its range, and grabs opponents close by. |
Flying Slam | Bowser grabs opponents with a claw swipe, then pulls them into a flying body slam. | |
Bowser Jr. | Clown Kart Dash | The Koopa Clown Car gains wheels and accelerates forward at high speed. Can be stopped by turning around. |
Byleth | Areadbhar | Byleth swings the lance forward in a large arc. |
Captain Falcon | Raptor Boost | Captain Falcon lunges forward, and if an opponent is in his path, he delivers a powerful uppercut. In the air, this becomes an overhand punch with meteor smash properties. |
Charizard | Rock Smash | Charizard produces a boulder and smashes it with its head. |
Flare Blitz | Charizard rushes forward while surrounded with flames. Deals recoil damage. | |
Chrom | Double-Edge Dance | Similar to Roy's version, but it lacks a sweetspot or sourspot on Chrom's blade, and all three final hits lack the flame effect, making it largely the same as Lucina's Dancing Blade instead. |
Cloud | Cross Slash | Cloud slashes the air in front of him in a set pattern. The non-Limit version is performed one hit at a time with repeated button presses. |
Corrin | Dragon Lunge | Corrin's arm transforms into a long lance that can pin grounded opponents in place. |
Daisy | Daisy Bomber | Functions the same as Peach's Peach Bomber, but has a powerful floral explosion upon impact from her butt and has other floral effects and symbols in place of heart effects. |
Dark Pit | Electroshock Arm | Almost the same as Pit's Upperdash Arm, but deals more damage and sends opponents at a significantly lower trajectory. It also has an electric effect. |
Dark Samus | Missile | Identical to Samus's Missile. |
Diddy Kong | Monkey Flip | Diddy Kong flips forward. It can cling onto opponents on contact, or the button can be pressed again to deliver a kick instead. |
Donkey Kong | Headbutt | Donkey Kong headbutts forwards, burying grounded opponents and meteor smashing airborne ones. |
Dr. Mario | Super Sheet | Similar to Mario's Cape, but Dr. Mario swings a sheet instead, having less horizontal range in exchange for more vertical range, and doesn't stall Dr. Mario in midair. |
Duck Hunt | Clay Shooting | Duck Hunt throws a clay pigeon. Pressing the button again before the projectile disappears will hit it with Zapper shots. |
Falco | Falco Phantasm | Functions similarly to Fox's Fox Illusion. However, it travels at a lesser distance (except in Brawl) and meteor smashes airborne opponents on impact. |
Fox | Fox Illusion | Fox dashes forward from point to point at high speed, leaving afterimages in his wake. |
Ganondorf | Gerudo Dragon | Functions similarly to Captain Falcon's Raptor Boost, but with the darkness effect; it also lacks the ability to meteor smash midair opponents. |
Flame Choke | Ganondorf lunges forward, grabbing an opponent in his path and launching them straight down into the ground. | |
Greninja | Shadow Sneak | Greninja's shadow begins to move along the ground when this move is activated. When the button is released, Greninja will appear at the shadow and deliver a quick kick. Greninja can still be controlled while the button is held. |
Hero | Zap/Zapple/Kazap | The Hero uses lightning magic. A normal input is Zap, a short electric blast forward, but the move can be charged into Zapple, where the Hero shoots electricity forward and a lightning bolt strikes down, and Kazap, an attack where lightning strikes the Hero's sword before he slashes around himself. |
Ice Climbers | Squall Hammer | The Ice Climbers begin spinning in tandem, dealing multiple hits with their hammers. |
Ike | Quick Draw | Ike charges in place as long as the button is held, then rushes forward, striking with his sword if an opponent is in his path. |
