A special move is any move performed by pressing the special button, the B button by default. In many cases, special attacks provide more damage than smash attacks, although it's unlikely to provide a KO in some situations. Unlike other moves, special moves can have wildly different functions - for instance, Falco's side special is a quick running swipe familiar to a dash attack, whereas Samus' side special is a projectile that leaves Samus stationary. Usually, only special attacks can be projectiles (some exceptions are Snake's and Olimar's up smashes), and some are able to render the user helpless if used in mid-air (usually those that function as mid-air jumps, like most up special moves). In Super Smash Bros Brawl, there is a special type of special move called the Final Smash that can be accessed when the Smash Ball is obtained. When obtained, the standard special move is then replaced with the Final Smash that usually does a very high damaging attack that can affect more than one person, but it can only be used once before obtaining another Smash Ball.
Special moves include the neutral special move, side special move, down special move, up special move, and the Final Smash.
