An '''up aerial''' ({{ja|上空中攻撃|Ue kūchū kōgeki}}, ''Up/above/upper midair attack''; commonly abbreviated as '''Uair''' or '''u-air''', and referred to as '''AttackAirHi''' internally) is an [[aerial attack]] that is performed in midair by pressing the attack button | An '''up aerial''' ({{ja|上空中攻撃|Ue kūchū kōgeki}}, ''Up/above/upper midair attack''; commonly abbreviated as '''Uair''' or '''u-air''', and referred to as '''AttackAirHi''' internally) is an [[aerial attack]] that is performed in midair by pressing the attack button and tilting the [[control stick]] upward. Its official term varies between titles; it is known as an '''up midair attack''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and an '''up air attack''' from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward. Many up aerials are flip kicks, which have a wide coverage above the user. They also tend to launch the opponent at a predominantly upward angle, making them crucial for [[juggling]]. A lot of up aerials have a landing animation involving the character falling on their back and having to get back up. | ||

*{{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}}'s up aerial in ''Smash 4'' is widely considered one of the best due to Luma's very fast startup (the lowest out of every up aerial in the game) and high base knockback, as well as Rosalina's large disjointed hitbox, which can be used in conjunction to combo into itself and as a followup from several other moves. Most infamously, with high [[rage]], it can drag opponents to the upper blast line and KO them at extremely low percents. In ''Ultimate'', it has been noticeably [[nerf]]ed, with Luma's attack having more startup, and both characters' attacks having more ending lag to the point there are no longer any followups out of them, in addition to the effect of rage itself being weakened. | *{{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}}'s up aerial in ''Smash 4'' is widely considered one of the best due to Luma's very fast startup (the lowest out of every up aerial in the game) and high base knockback, as well as Rosalina's large disjointed hitbox, which can be used in conjunction to combo into itself and as a followup from several other moves.

*{{SSB4|Cloud}}'s up aerial in ''Smash 4'' is often considered one of the best due to its speed, power, juggling ability, low landing lag, immediate [[auto-cancel]] after the hitboxes cease, and deceptively long range both vertically and horizontally, making it a powerful juggling option with little commitment and allowing it to start combos on grounded opponents. In ''Ultimate'', it is much harder to use consistently, as it auto-cancels later, has less range especially vertically, and its power has been decreased, although it remains a solid anti-air option. | *{{SSB4|Cloud}}'s up aerial in ''Smash 4'' is often considered one of the best due to its speed, power, juggling ability, low landing lag, immediate [[auto-cancel]] after the hitboxes cease, and deceptively long range both vertically and horizontally, making it a powerful juggling option with little commitment and allowing it to start combos on grounded opponents.

*[[Mario]]'s up aerial in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' (and ''Smash 64'' to a lesser extent) easily sets up [[ladder combo]]s into itself at low to mid percents, due to its combination of low lag all around and wide coverage above him. With the aid of platforms (such as those of {{SSB|Dream Land}}), these combos can be extended to drag opponents near the upper blast line and combo into [[Super Jump Punch]] for a KO. | |||
*[[Zero Suit Samus]]'s up aerial in ''Smash 4'' is notorious for setting up ladder combos. It can combo into itself at low to mid percent to drag opponents near the upper blast line and combo into [[Boost Kick]] for a KO. It can even be done with the aid of platforms. Even it is nerfed in ''Ultimate'', she can still pull it off depending on the hitbox placement she hits with. | |||
