The '''neutral special move''' (officially referred to as '''standard special move''' prior to ''[[Ultimate]]'', also known as '''neutral B''', '''standard B''', '''B move''' or simply '''B''') is a [[special attack]] performed by pressing the special move button without holding a direction on the control stick. As the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' lacks [[side special move]]s, neutral specials can also be used if the stick is tilted sideways; 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.

The majority of neutral specials are either a [[projectile]] or a strong single-hit attack that may be [[charge]]able (and sometimes both). If a character has a single projectile, it is most likely to be their neutral special. Neutral specials also tend to not move the character.

[[File:shadowballdc.gif|thumb|{{SSBM|Mewtwo}} reversing its direction in midair using [[Shadow Ball]] in ''Melee''.]]
A '''reverse neutral special move''' allows a character in midair to use a neutral special in the opposite direction that they're facing. This requires a different method than simply holding backward and pressing the special button, as this would activate the [[side special move]]. Instead, one must tap the control stick in that direction and allow it to return to its neutral position before pressing the special button.

|[[Joker]]||[[Gun]]||Joker will either fire once or multiple times, depending on if the button is held down. In the air, Joker can either fire around him or downwards, depending on the input. When Arsene is summoned, Joker uses Gun Special instead, which will make Joker fire more bullets in total.

|[[Samus]]||[[Charge Shot]]||Samus [[charge]]s power in her Arm Cannon to power the Charge Shot, an energy ball projectile. The charging can be cancelled and the move will retain its charge until it is used. The more it is charged, the larger the projectile is and the further it travels. Prior to ''Ultimate'', using the move in midair would always fire it at its current charge level; in ''Ultimate'', Samus gains the ability to charge the move in midair (and can still choose to fire it).

|[[Sora]]||[[Magic]]||Sora casts one of three different Magic spells in a set order. First is Firaga, wherein he fires a medium-range fireball from his Keyblade; repeatedly pressing the special move button will make Sora continuously use the attack. Thundaga has Sora lift his Keyblade upwards to summon three continuous clouds that rain down thunderbolts; when used in mid-air, its range is decreased. Blizzaga has Sora fire out a short-range icy blast from his Keyblade that instantly freezes the opponent if close, similar to Blizzard. All three spells can be deflected, absorbed, or picked up by Villager and Isabelle when using Pocket.
