Up special move

The up special move (commonly referred to as Up-B) is a special move that a character may perform that involves holding the control stick up and pressing B. It is usually used for recovery purposes, but there are exceptions to this, such as Jigglypuff's Up-B Sing and Yoshi's Egg Toss (in SSB64 and SSBM). The Up-B is implemented in the same fashion in SSF2 as the means of a recovery move.
