Standard Special Moves

Standard Special Moves are the basic Special Move in the Super Smash Bros. franchise. They have been present since the first game, Super Smash Bros. 64. Their activation is through the Special Move button (often B, hence "Standard B" or "Neutral B") without inputting any directions. Standard Special Moves are often their respective character's primary move. Examples include how Mario tosses a Fireball from his hands, how Fox McCloud opens fire with his Blaster, and how Kirby inhales his opponent. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Link, Ness, and Jigglypuff had their Standard Special Moves changed from Boomerang to Bow, PK Fire to PK Flash, and Pound to Rollout, respectively, while those former Standard Special Moves became Side Special Moves.
