Special Move (Super Smash Bros.)

In the Super Smash Bros. series, Special Moves are moves executed with the Special button. These moves often have names of their own and vary in their purpose. Standard Special Moves often appear as the character's trademark move, and are often their user's projectile. Up Special Moves are used for recovery, often rendering their user helpless until that character lands or is hit. Side Special Moves often have their user rush forward, but can also be projectiles in their own right. Down Specials are often complicated in their nature and tend to serve as a defensive measure.
