A "Special Attack" refers to a powerful move used by characters in video games, particularly in role-playing games (RPGs) and fighting games. These attacks often deal more damage than regular moves and may have unique effects, such as inflicting status conditions or hitting multiple opponents. Players typically need to build up energy or meet specific conditions to unleash a Special Attack. In many games, Special Attacks are associated with specific characters, such as Mario or Ryu, and can be a key part of their combat strategy. Mastering these moves can give players a significant advantage in battles, making them an essential aspect of gameplay.
