A '''special move''' ({{ja|必殺技|Hissatsu Waza}}, ''Sure-Killing Art'') is any move performed by pressing the special button, the [[B button]] by default. In many cases, special attacks provide more damage than [[smash attack]]s, 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 [[ | A '''special move''' ({{ja|必殺技|Hissatsu Waza}}, ''Sure-Killing Art'') is any move performed by pressing the special button, the [[B button]] by default.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', each character had three special moves: the [[neutral special]], [[up special]] and [[down special]]. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' introduced one new special move for each character, the [[side special]]. Starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]'', yet another special move was added, the [[Final Smash]], which 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. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', each character had three special moves: the [[neutral special]], [[up special]] and [[down special]].
