Side special move: Difference between revisions

Some side special moves have different properties depending on how they are activated. The moves have "Smash inputs," which means that the [[control stick]] (or pad) is [[tap]]ped/"smashed" at the same time the [[special move button]] is pressed. This will create a different outcome compared to simply tilting the stick to the side and then pressing the button. The differences are typically the move dealing more damage, having a longer range, and/or a faster startup, though some activate a different move entirely. Most moves are objectively better with a smash input, though some have specific drawbacks that would make the regular version better in certain situations.
