Turnaround special

A Turnaround Special is a technique in Super Smash Flash 2 that allows characters to turn around before executing a special move. It can be done with every special move in the game. To execute a turnaround Up Special, or Down Special, simply hold diagonally up or down in the direction you wish to execute the move. To execute a turnaround Neutral Special, quickly tap and release the opposite direction a split second before pressing the special button. It is also possible to turnaround Ryu's special input moves by performing the input, then tapping in the opposite direction just before you press the special button, although the timing is much stricter than for executing a turnaround Neutral Special.

Unlike in the Super Smash Bros. series, it is not possible to B-reverse, a technique that allows you to reverse your character's aerial momentum by performing a special. However, turnaround specials are still useful in many situations, especially in midair, as for the majority of the cast (except for Marth), they are the only way of changing facing in midair.
