| Snake performs an upwards dropkick. It deals strong vertical knockback and is a reliable KO move at high percentages, especially if converted into from Snake's explosives, while it also possesses fast [[startup]] for its power, coming out on frame 10. Additionally, it has great [[disjoint]]ed [[reach]], as its hitboxes extend much higher than Snake's feet, and the move has a long duration, similarily to his [[back aerial]]. Unlike several of Snake's other aerials, it [[auto-cancel]]s in a [[short hop]], making it safer to use as a rising aerial than Snake's other aerial attacks, and it even shifts his [[hurtbox]], enabling him to avoid certain attacks that would have otherwise hit him.

| The move also has decent [[combo]] potential when used as a landing aerial. It can combo into [[up tilt]] at low percentages with its clean hit, can combo into up tilt with its late hit at mid percentages, and can combo into a [[reverse aerial rush]] sweetspotted back aerial at mid to high percentages if done in a [[short hop fast fall]], the latter of which can act as a possible KO confirm near the side blast zones (although this is rather niche).

| It does have a few shortcomings. Like many of Snake's other moves, it has high [[ending lag]], which can make it unsafe if whiffed or when not not used as a falling aerial. Along with this, despite its decent utility for combos when used as a landing aerial, the move can be difficult to land on grounded opponents due to the hitboxes being placed highly above Snake's legs. This can make it somewhat inconsistent for confirms, particularly on smaller characters.

| Overall, Snake's [[up aerial]] is an attack with great utility and relatively few downsides compared to Snake's other aerials.
