==Reverse Special==
Does this work in [[SSB]] as well? -[[User:Zixor|Zixor]] ([[User talk:Zixor|talk]]) 00:38, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
:I don't know, because I don't own SSB. But about the Reverse Neutral B, I agree that it should be posted on the Standard Special Move page. And I think most characters who can perform a Reverse Neutral B, also can perform one on the ground instead of the air. User:VideoGameBoy|Zixor ([[User talk:Zixor|talk]]) 10:50, 4 July 2009 (UTC+2)

:::::@VideoGameBoy: Please sign your comments by placing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of each comment you make. Please do not put your signature at the start of your comments.
:::::@Zixor: Yes, the Reverse Neutral B was brought in from the start. Every character can do it, both on the ground and in the air, by pressing the opposite direction that the character's facing then pressing B (as you'd perform a Side Special in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''). If performed in the air, it has the advantage that it turns you around, which isn't otherwise possible except through the use of PK Thunder 2, or the like. If performed on the ground, it has the advantage that you turn around and do your Neutral B move, but without any turning lag. If there was a Neutral B move that had very little lag when used on the ground (or if you used a hack to remove all lag), you could dash dance with it by reversing it after every use. Donkey Kong could reverse the direction not only of the charged Giant Punch but also of the initial charging period. Most notably, Jigglypuff could reverse its Pound, which was excellent for recovery as it could edgeguard as much as it liked as long as it stayed above the level of the main platform, and it could then get back to the ledge safely without worrying about having to face the stage to grab on. In short, yes, it works in SSB as well.

And I think most characters who can perform a Reverse Neutral B, also can perform one on the ground instead of the air. User:VideoGameBoy|Zixor (talk) 10:50, 4 July 2009 (UTC+2)
Ganondorf can do a reverse Warlock Punch in both air and ground. Firewario (talk) 08:56, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

@Meta-K: If the page needs editing, edit it. Even if it's up for deletion, you can improve it - maybe then it won't need deleting.
@VideoGameBoy: Please sign your comments by placing ~~~~ at the end of each comment you make. Please do not put your signature at the start of your comments.
@Zixor: Yes, the Reverse Neutral B was brought in from the start. Every character can do it, both on the ground and in the air, by pressing the opposite direction that the character's facing then pressing B (as you'd perform a Side Special in Melee and Brawl).

Okay, here we go; I'm not even touching your unnecessary attitude, Penguin.
Firstly, what designates a move as "signature"? My research shows that it is not limited to one move alone. To that end, virtually ALL special moves could be considered signature. As such, for the argument against standard special moves being the most analogous with that character, these are NOT:
  • DK- Not most known for his punching; with the possible exception of Baseball and Jungle Beat Boss fights.
As you just said two games where he is known for his punching, this statement is hypocritical.
  • Diddy- cartwheel (running attack)

  • ROB - Never fires a lazer beam. His taunt showcases his most basic function, moving it's arms up and down.
