B-Sticking refers to the Super Smash Bros. Brawl technique that allows a player to jump forward and start a B move while bouncing backwards. This bounce is known as Recoil Specials, though the term B-Sticking can be used to describe this application of a Specials C-Stick as well as the overall setup. It's worth noting that these techniques can be performed without using the C-stick.
Setup
B-Sticking requires that the player be using the Gamecube Controler with a custom name. The player must then go in to the Options -> Control Settings and change the controls for the Gamecube Controler for their name. The primary change that needs to be made is that the C-stick must be changed so that instead of performing Smashes, it executes Specials. This also gives B-Sticking it's name, since you are using the C-stick to perform B moves.
Performing a Recoil Special
To perform a "Recoil Special"[1] with the B-Stick setup, jump forward and immediately move the C-stick in the direction of travel. This will perform the Side Special in midair, and immediately bounce the Fighter backwards. This can add some range to the Side Special while spacing the Fighter further away from their opponent. Up Specials and Down Specials can also be performed like this, by moving the C-Stick between that direction and the diagonal direction behind the direction of travel. That is, between Up and Up-Left diagonal for an Up Special if moving right, for example. The Standard Special can also be performed by moving the C-Stick directly diagonal in the opposite direction of travel. So for a Standard Special while moving right, the C-Stick must be moved Up-Left or Down-Left. Note that this will only perform a Special move as if the B button were tapped once. To continue to hold the attack (to charge it or to have an attack like Din's Fire move further), it is recomended that L, R, or Z be assigned to perform Specials. This way, while the thumb is being used to hit the C-Stick, one of the fingers can press and hold the assigned trigger, allowing the Special to continue.
Other Uses of the Setup
Dashing Up Special
Similar to how an Up Smash can be performed out of a dash, but with this setup, an Up Special can be performed much the same way. To do this, start to dash, and just before reaching the point where you want to perform the Up Special, press back on the Joystick and then Up on the C-stick. The character should continue to slide forward and begin to perform their Up Special.
Reverse Aerial Rush
The B-Sticking setup can be used to move easily perform a Back Aerial out of a dash. To do this, run, and instead of turning around and jumping, simply B-stick backwards. This will cause the character to turn around and jump in one quick motion. The attack button may then be used as usual to perform the Back Aerial.
