The Standard Special Move (also commonly referred to as Neutral B, or simply B) is a special attack performed by pressing the special move button without holding a direction on the control stick. Many of these moves are projectiles, which can be used repeatedly to rack up damage indirectly and/or hinder the enemy's approach.

With the introduction of the Side Special Move in Melee, several character's standard special's moves were changed to side specials (Jigglypuff, Link, and Ness). In Brawl, Kirby and Link had their moves renamed.

Reverse Standard Special Move

A reverse standard special move allows a character in mid-air to use a standard special in the opposite direction that they're facing. This requires a different method than simply holding backward and pressing 'B', as this would activate the side special move. Instead, tap the control stick in that direction and allow it to return to its neutral position before pressing 'B'.

In Brawl, you can also do a Reverse Standard Special Move by tapping the control stick in the opposite direction you are facing right after you press 'B'. This can be done on the ground and in mid-air. This is pulled off in the same way as the Reverse Falcon/ Warlock Punch. When performed in the air, some characters will get a bounce in the direction you tapped the control stick in. Because of this, characters with Standard Special Moves that cancel their momentum will not get the bounce, but will turn around. Other characters will only get a small, almost unseeable bounce, in which the turn around-effect is also the only profit. This bounce is often called Wavebouncing. It is, however, performed in a different way than regular Wavebouncing, which requires you to use the C-stick for Specials.
