Up Special Move

The Up Special Move, commonly referred to as Up B (due to the special move function having traditionally been relegated to the B button) is a special attack performed by pressing the special move button while holding the control stick upwards. Up B attacks are usually third jumps used to recover from off-stage; the Up B will mostly put the character into helpless mode. The only exceptions are Yoshi (excluding Super Smash Bros. Brawl) and Jigglypuff, neither of whose Up B attacks acts as a jump.
