Snake's Side Special Move.

The side special move (also commonly called forward B, side B, and smash B in iterations prior to Super Smash Bros. Brawl) is a special attack introduced in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is performed by pressing the special move button while holding "left" or "right" on the control stick (or control pad on the Wii Remote). Some side special moves are different depending on whether or not the control stick (or pad) is "smashed" or simply tilted to the side. An example would be Samus's missiles, where a "tilt" yields a weaker homing missile, and a "smash" yields a stronger, faster missile.

Reverse side special move

In Brawl, most side special moves can be reversed in the first few frames (except Bowser and Samus), although the usefulness is questionable, since any character can quickly turn around on the spot and immediately perform their side special move. The only true use for a reverse side special is while running; when running, the player cannot use their side special backwards without having to stop or turn around first. The reverse side special can be done while running and gives certain characters boosts when turning around, the most notable boosts being Donkey Kong's and Luigi's revere side specials, where the former gets a quick boost backwards and has an unsurprising hit, and the latter will keep sliding forwards while being able to charge his move.
