Upperdash Arm

Line 21:

The move involves Pit dashing forward, and then uppercutting any opponent he comes across with the Upperdash Arm - similarly to [[Raptor Boost]], although slower and traveling a shorter distance. The move does 11% with mainly vertical knockback, with high base knockback but rather average knockback scaling, making it capable of KOing beginning from 150%. The aerial version is weaker than the grounded version, doing 9% and being unable to KO until 170%.

The move has [[armor]] during the uppercut, allowing Pit to plow through attacks to land a hit. It is also capable of deflecting [[projectile]]s while the move is active, though it will cut short Pit's dash, as he will swing his Arm prematurely. Additionally, deflected projectiles are sent upward at a 45 degree angle, and are not considered to be [[reflection|reflected]]; this renders them harmless to enemies as they are still the property of the opponent, much like how [[Confusion]] worked in ''Melee''. Because of its armor and ability to deflect projectiles, this move is ~~incredibly~~ difficult to counter with attacks alone, ~~requiring an opponent to either dodge or shield~~.

It also deals high [[shield damage]] to shields. Because of its armor, high shield damage, and ability to deflect projectiles, this move is risky to shield and difficult to counter with attacks alone, although its ending lag makes it easily punished.

If used in the air, the move has an extremely laggy ending animation regardless of whether Pit hits anything (however, more endlag is experienced if Pit misses in the air, enough to make him [[self destruct|SD]]), making the move very punishable if Pit misses. The move itself does not have much landing lag, however. Connecting with it in midair also gives Pit an upward boost that can have its momentum controlled much like a normal jump, and can be performed right afterward once more after the recovery. The ending lag can lead to possible self-destructs if used unwisely, although the move can sweetspot ledges if used as a recovery. Using the move on the ground will cause him to stop at the very edge of whatever platform he's on, similar to [[Fox Illusion]]. Despite the massive aerial ending lag, Pit is not put into a helpless state afterwards.
