Screw Attack (move)

The Screw Attack is a move Samus can do in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee and probably Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is done by pressing B and moving the control stick up at the same time. This attack is the same attack a character does when he or she jumps with the Screw Attack item. However this attack can be done anytime by Samus, without needing the Screw Attack item. She jumps up into the air spinning. The force of the spin will push Samus upwards. Screw Attack acts as Samus's third jump. However, it is able to deal some damage to anyone who gets caught in the attack. It is fairly easy to use, and it can do quite a bit of damage, which makes it one of the most useful third jumps in the series.
