Recovery

Most recovery moves are also effective ground attacks,such as Link's Spin Attack.

A recovery is the attempt to return on-stage after being knocked off. Some tools to achieve this end are the second jump and the third jump (usually an up Special Move). Some recovery moves only go nearly straight up, while others are for long horizontal differences.

It should be noted that some characters do not have an up special attack as their recovery.
