{{ArticleIcons|series=y}}

The '''up special move''', commonly referred to as '''up B''', is a [[special attack]] performed by pressing the [[special move]] button while holding the control stick upwards.

==List of up special moves==

{| class="wikitable"

! Character !! Move !! Description

|-

| [[Joker]] || [[Grappling Hook / Wings of Rebellion]] || Joker pulls out a grappling hook and fires it at either at an angle or upwards, depending on the input. This move deals no damage, but can pull enemies closer. When Arsene is summoned, he will instead use Wings of Rebellion, which allows Joker to fly either at an angle or upwards. This move also deals no damage, but makes Joker invincible to damage during start-up.

|-

| [[Ken]] || [[Shoryuken]] || Functions similarly to Ryu's [[Shoryuken]], but hits multiple times and travels further horizontally. Ken can also execute a Heavy Shoryuken with a [[flame]] effect.

| [[Min Min]] || [[ARMS Jump / ARM Hook]] || On the ground, Min Min launches into the air, and goes higher if the button is held. It does not cause helplessness. In the air, she reaches upward with her left arm, acting like a tether recovery.

|-

|-

| [[Ness]] || {{h1|PK Thunder|Ness}} || Shoots an electric bolt out of Ness' head. While it is in the air, the bolt can be controlled by moving the control stick (Ness will remain stationary, or fall if he is in midair). Running the head into an opponent will cause damage, but it will cause the bolt to disappear. Slight damage can also be caused by hitting an opponent with the tail of the attack, and this will not cause the attack to disappear. If the PK Thunder is steered into Ness himself, it launches him in the opposite direction from the one he was hit at. While being launched, Ness is invulnerable for a large period of time and can cause significant damage and knockback to anyone hit by his body. Even if this attack is not used to launch Ness, it will cause helplessness when used in midair. PK Thunder can be used to edgeguard and reverse Ness ("PK Tailwhip").

|-

|-

|-

| [[Pac-Man]] || [[Pac-Jump]] || Pac-Man produces a trampoline from the Namco arcade game ''Mappy''. The trampoline can be bounced on by Pac-Man and other characters up to three times. After each bounce, it changes color from blue to yellow to red. If the trampoline is jumped on when it is red, it will break, and the character who jumped on it will enter a helpless state. The trampoline will remain stationary even in midair, and will vanish after a set amount of time or after it breaks.

|-

| [[Pikachu]] || [[Quick Attack]] || Behaves like Pichu's Agility, except does not deal recoil damage and any enemy caught at the mid or the endpoint of these teleportations will be dealt slight damage (except in ''Smash 64''). Can [[QAC]] in ''Brawl''. Widely considered to be the best recovery in the original ''Smash 64'', it remains one of the overall top recoveries of any ''Smash'' game due to its multiple invincibility frames and range, with particular [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN-4TwOnBZo invincibility] in ''Smash 64''. However, it lacks a hitbox in said game.

|-

|rowspan="2"| [[Pit]] || [[Wings of Icarus]] {{GameIcon|SSBB|15px}} || Wings of Icarus allows Pit to fly freely for a while. Pit can attack out of this move. If Pit is hit while using the move, he is unable to use it again until he lands. Can be used in a ''Brawl'' technique known as Wing Dashing, which allows Pit to move around the screen quickly.

|-

| [[Power of Flight]] {{GameIcon|SSB4|15px}}{{GameIcon|SSBU|15px}} || Pit charges up and flies in a direction chosen by the player, similar to the up specials of the ''Star Fox'' characters.

|-

| [[Ridley]] || [[Wing Blitz]] || Ridley pauses in midair and then lunges forward in a straight line. The move can be angled.

| [[Robin]] || [[Elwind]] || Robin fires two waves of razor-sharp wind magic downwards, propelling upward.

|-

|-

| [[Roy]] || [[Blazer]] || Similar to Marth's Dolphin Slash, except it sets the enemy character on [[flame|fire]], and hits multiple times. If the control stick is held left or right during the initiation of the move, it will increase horizontal distance at the expense of vertical distance. There is no equivalent to the Reverse Dolphin Slash due to the hitbox and [[sweetspot]] layout of Roy's blade being different than Marth's. The grounded version grants Roy super armor.

|-

| [[Sonic]] || [[Spring Jump]] || A classic spring from the Sega Genesis-era ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games appears below Sonic, propelling him upward with a powerful bounce. The spring can stay in the ground and, if the opponent moves quickly enough, they can also utilize this spring, bouncing equally as high. If used in the air, the spring will fall and damage opponents who touch it.

|-

|[[Squirtle]]||[[Waterfall]]||Squirtle rides upward on a wave of water.

| [[Toon Link]] || {{h1|Spin Attack|Toon Link}} || Identical to Link's variation, except it gives much longer recovery distance, is a bit shorter in range, and hits multiple times on the ground.

|-

|-

| [[Wario]] || [[Corkscrew]] || Wario spins and moves vertically slightly. He goes much higher when he is [[Wario-Man]].

|-

| [[Wolf]] || [[Fire Wolf]] || Somewhat similar to Fox's [[Fire Fox]] and [[Falco]]'s [[Fire Bird]]. It sends Wolf into the air horizontally almost immediately after it is used. The control stick can be used to determine the direction upon activation. Unlike Fire Fox, the attack deals multiple hits, carries the enemy it catches with it, has no fire effect, and ends with a knockback-dealing kick.

|-

| [[Yoshi]] || [[Egg Throw]] || Yoshi launches an egg upwards in an arc, which can be angled along a variety of trajectories, hitting anywhere from far horizontally in front of Yoshi to slightly behind and above Yoshi. The egg explodes upon contact or after moving along for a set air-time. It is fairly unique in that it is not a true triple jump, does not noticeably aid in recovery, and does not put Yoshi into a state of helplessness. In ''Brawl'', the move actually moves Yoshi upwards very slightly.

| [[Zelda]] || [[Farore's Wind]] || Zelda flashes for a second, then invisibly teleports a long distance in one of the 8 main directions. This move has a long recovery range, but is very limited in its options as to direction, making it possible to overshoot stages or platforms, or get caught under stage lips, like in Battlefield. In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', opponents near where she reappears are damaged. Can be canceled on the edge in ''Brawl'' for a surprise KO such as combined with a down aerial or up aerial.

|-

|-

| [[Boost Kick]] {{GameIcon|SSB4|15px}}{{GameIcon|SSBU|15px}} || Zero Suit Samus kicks upwards with her jet boots engaged, hitting multiple times while rising and concluding with a kick that appears to have decent power behind it.
