Reverse

This article is about the effect. For the technique in Melee, see pivoting. For the technique in all four games, see B-sticking.

There are a few attacks in the Smash Bros. series that cause the reverse effect. Characters that are struck by these attacks are forcibly turned around to face the opposite direction instead of flinching. While the reverse effect does not naturally reflect projectiles, most moves with it are also reflectors.

While hitboxes with the reverse effect generally do not cause knockback, there are situations where they can boost the momentum of an airborne character.
