B-reversing

Line 7:

B-reversing was first introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and is retained in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as well. To execute a B-reverse, the player must input a special move, then quickly tap the direction opposite the one they are facing. If performed correctly, their character will do the special move while turning around and reversing their momentum.

The momentum shift happens almost instantly and is very useful. For example, ~~{{SSBU|~~Mario}} can jump away from his opponent, as if to retreat, then B-reverse a Fireball to close distance while landing behind a projectile. ~~{{SSBU|~~Diddy Kong}} is able to gather lots of momentum with his [[Monkey Flip]], then B-reverse his [[Peanut Popgun]] on a moment's notice to avoid or attack his opponent. Even better, the popgun can be canceled with the shield button, making this an especially flexible movement option. ~~{{SSBU|~~Snake}} sees just as much use out of the technique, as he can B-reverse with [[Grenades]] and [[C4]] to avoid being juggled by opponents after recovering high above the stage.

Not every special move can be B-reversed, however. Some examples include ~~{{SSBU|~~Samus}}'s [[Charge Shot]] (prior to ''Ultimate'') and ~~{{SSBU|~~Mewtwo}}'s [[Disable]]. ~~{{SSBU|~~Captain Falcon}}'s [[Falcon Punch]], ~~{{SSBU|~~Ganondorf}}'s [[Warlock Punch]], ~~{{SSBU|~~Mii Brawler}}'s [[Exploding Side Kick]] and ~~{{SSBU|~~Byleth}}'s [[Aymr]] are unique in that they cannot normally be B-reversed, but attempting to do so results in those characters physically turning themselves around while performing those moves. In the case of Exploding Side Kick (in Ultimate only), Falcon Punch and Warlock Punch, pulling this off results in even more damage and knockback, but it also slows the attacks down even more. This is a move-specific technique and is not technically a B-reverse; it is also easier to perform than an actual B-reverse due to its more lenient window.
