Special move: Difference between revisions

A '''special move''', also known as a '''special attack''', 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 [[up smash]]es), 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 move]]s). 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. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', it has been revealed that there will be three options for each character's special moves (effectively meaning 12 move options per character).
