| [[File:WFT-UpSmash.gif|thumb|300px|[[Wii Fit Trainer]]'s up smash in ''Smash 4'', after being [[charge]]d briefly.]] | | '''Up smash''', abbreviated "u-smash," is a [[smash attack]] performed by any character by tapping the control stick upward and pressing A, or (in ''[[Melee]]'s'' [[versus mode]]) by pressing up on the [[C-stick]]. The up smash can be charged by holding down the A button for up to two seconds in conjunction with the C-stick, resulting in higher [[damage]] and [[knockback]]. If the enemy has heavy damage, it can be easy for the player to [[Star KO]] or [[Screen KO]] them using these moves. |

|
| An '''up smash''' (abbreviated '''u-smash''') ({{ja|上スマッシュ攻撃|Ue sumasshu kōgeki}}, ''Up/upper/above smash attack'') is a [[smash attack]] performed by any character by tapping the control stick upward and pressing the attack button, or, outside of ''[[Melee]]'s'' single player modes, by pressing up on the [[C-Stick]].

| Since ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', all smash attacks can be charged by holding down the A button for up to one second, multiplying [[damage]] and [[knockback]] by up to 1.4. In ''Ultimate'', with some exceptions, these charges can be held for up to 3 seconds (or 180 frames), but the attack stops increasing in strength after the 1-second mark.

| Up smashes generally follow several trends: they usually send opponents vertically upwards, which give them consistent KO potential on most neutral stages (such as [[Battlefield]]). They also tend to cover directly above the user, either through a wide sweeping motion with average knockback (such as [[Mario]] and [[Pikachu]]), or an upward thrust with a stronger and smaller hitbox (with some possessing grounded hitboxes to lead into the main hit, such as [[Marth]] and [[Steve]]). Prior to ''Ultimate'', up smashes were also one of the few attacks that could be [[jump-canceling|jump-canceled]], enabling them to be used [[out of shield]] immediately and during any part of a character's [[dash]] animation, except the skidding animation when they stop running. As a result, some fighters have up smashes that serve as excellent out of shield punishes, while others function as precise, but powerful anti-airs.
| | ==List of up smashes in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''== |
| | [[File:UpSmash.jpg|thumb|210px|Ganondorf's up smash in ''Brawl''. Note how, since he is no longer a clone of Captain Falcon, it is one single, slow kick instead of two rapid ones.]] |
| | *[[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]] - Mario headbutts upward. |
| | *[[Luigi (SSBB)|Luigi]] - Luigi headbutts upward. |
| | *[[Peach (SSBB)|Peach]] - Thrusts her arm up quickly. Very powerful when sweetspotted, but very weak when not sweetspotted. If Peach sweetspotted (Peach's body, as opposed to the arm) an opponent with fully charged up smash, it can KO at around 55% (and does 23% damage). |
| | *[[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser]] - Hops into the air, hitting with his shell. |
| | *[[Donkey Kong (SSBB)|Donkey Kong]] - Claps overhead. Small hitbox that usually only hits foes directly above him, but great power and fairly fast. |
| | *[[Diddy Kong (SSBB)|Diddy Kong]] - Does a weird cartwheel in place, hitting three times. Not very powerful, but a decent combo move. Can be used as a sliding DACUS. |
| | *[[Yoshi (SSBB)|Yoshi]] - Headbutts above himself. |
| | *[[Wario (SSBB)|Wario]] - Spins in place and headbutts upward, hitting multiple times. Can be used as a sliding [[DACUS]]. |
| | *[[Link (SSBB)|Link]] - Slashes over his head three times. Third hit has most knockback. Can be used as a sliding DACUS. |
| | *[[Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda]] - Waves her hand above her head with magical energy. Comes out quickly, [[Vacuum|pulls opponents]] in and has a lot of hits, not to mention the great damage and knockback. |
| | *[[Sheik (SSBB)|Sheik]] - Pulls with both hands to her sides in a downward way. Does a great deal of damage and knockback when sweetspotted. Can be used as a sliding DACUS. |
| | *[[Ganondorf (SSBB)|Ganondorf]] - Kicks once but it hits all the way to the ground. Has a huge amount of IASA Frames in Brawl. |
| | *[[Toon Link (SSBB)|Toon Link]] - Slashes above his head once with his sword. |
| | *[[Samus (SSBB)|Samus]] - Uses arm cannon and shoots fire above her head, hitting five times. Very weak knockback, perhaps the weakest of all up smashes, but does a lot of damage if all hits connect. Can be used as a sliding DACUS |
| | *[[Zero Suit Samus (SSBB)|Zero Suit Samus]] - Twirls her whip above her head. Doesn't have much startup lag and has great vertical range. Great for racking up damage. Only the tip does a lot of knockback. |
| | *[[Pit (SSBB)|Pit]] - Slashes above him with both of his swords. |
| | *[[Ice Climbers (SSBB)|Ice Climbers]] - Slam hammers above their heads. |
| | *[[R.O.B. (SSBB)|R.O.B.]] - Does a handstand, shooting a burst from his thrusters into the air. His most powerful finisher. |
| | *[[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]] - Does a backflip, kicking. Hits all the way around Kirby. |
| | *[[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]] - Slashes above him a few times. Similar to Link's, only much faster and not as powerful. |
| | *[[King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede]] - Swings hammer over his head. |
| | *[[Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar]] - Throws a Pikmin into the air. |
| | *[[Fox (SSBB)|Fox]] - Does a flipping kick above his head. Very powerful and quick, critical for KOing foes. A great KO move. Best [[Space animals|Space Animal]] upsmash. |
| | *[[Falco (SSBB)|Falco]] - Just like Fox's, only weaker. Can be used as a sliding DACUS. |
| | *[[Wolf (SSBB)|Wolf]] - Does a flipping scissor kick above his head. Can be used as a sliding DACUS. |
| | *[[Captain Falcon (SSBB)|Captain Falcon]] - Kicks upwards twice. |
| | *[[Pikachu (SSBB)|Pikachu]] - Flips over, hitting with its tail. Similar to Fox's, but with less range and even faster. |
| | *[[Squirtle (SSBB)|Squirtle]] - Slams hands onto the ground, sending twin geysers into the air. |
| | *[[Ivysaur (SSBB)|Ivysaur]] - Powder erupts from his bulb. Arguably the best Up Smash in terms of power, being able to KO at percentages as low as 32%, but suffers from long startup lag. |
| | *[[Charizard (SSBB)|Charizard]] - Slashes upward with both wings. |
| | *[[Lucario (SSBB)|Lucario]] - Punches upwards with blue aura energy. |
| | *[[Jigglypuff (SSBB)|Jigglypuff]] - Headbutts above itself. Can be used as a sliding DACUS. |
| | *[[Marth (SSBB)|Marth]] - Stabs his sword above his head. |
| | *[[Ike (SSBB)|Ike]] - Swings sword above his head. Covers great range and is powerful but incredibly laggy like almost all of other Ike's attacks. |
| | *[[Ness (SSBB)|Ness]] - Does an "Around the World" with his yo-yo, arcing it above him. Weaker than most Up Smashes. Yo-yo can also damage while charging up. Interestingly, when it's 'charging' it doesn't increase in damage or knockback. |
| | *[[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]] - Releases an extremely powerful blast of PSI above him. Has a surprisingly far range above Lucas. Second strongest up smash in the game, but very high start-up and ending lag. |
| | *[[Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB)|Mr. Game & Watch]] - Headbutt: Headbutts above him wearing a scuba helmet from Octopus. Has a fair amount of start-up lag. |
| | *[[Snake (SSBB)|Snake]] - Fires a mortar into the air; more charge, more distance. Can be used as a sliding DACUS, which is probably the most well-known DACUS of all characters. |
| | *[[Sonic (SSBB)|Sonic]] - Jumps into the air, spinning in a ball. Has a few invincibility frames. Low knockback, though last hits can [[Meteor Smash]]. |
|
| |
|
| From ''Brawl'' onwards, jump-canceling to perform a running up smash is unnecessary, and the turn-around animation can be jump-canceled into a reversed up smash. In ''Ultimate'', jump-canceling is not required for up smashes out of shield, and can now be done instantly; additionally, all grounded moves can be canceled from a dash, which lower the utility of some out of shield up smashes.
| | ==Notable up smashes include:== |
| | | *[[Peach (SSBB)|Peach]]'s up smash has the highest KO potential of all of Peach's attacks at 55%, if sweetspotted (Peach's body, as opposed to the arm) depending on the stage. Her Up smash is the fifth strongest in the game. |
| ==List of up smashes== | | *[[Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar]]'s up smash when fully charged with purple Pikmin is the fourth strongest up smash in the game. |
| {| class="wikitable"
| | *[[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s up smash is the fastest killing smash attack, depending on the character and stage. His up smash is the third strongest in the game. |
| |-
| | *[[Ivysaur (SSBB)|Ivysaur]]'s up smash can KO at low percentage as 32% and is the strongest up smash in the game. |
| ! Character !! Description
| | *[[Ness]]'s up smash has unique properties (similar to his down smash) by which it can be charged. Rather than at the beginning of the attack, the smash attack is charged up in the middle of the attack, but only if Ness' Yo-yo comes to rest on a flat surface. Charging the smash does not increase damage or knockback. |
| |-
| | *[[Marth]] and [[Zelda]]: The only two up smashes that has a vacuum effect on the ground around Marth or Zelda (not including [[Wario-Man]]'s up smash). |
| |[[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]]||Performs a vertically inverted Bill Drill, in which Banjo rapidly spins on the ground while Kazooie jabs upward with her beak.
| | *[[Roy]]: Similar to Marth's, but has a fire effect and doesn't have a vacuum effect on the ground. Can spike if enemy is hit on the sword's tip during the start of the attack. |
| |-
| | *[[Pit]] and [[Sonic]]: The only two up smashes in the entire series to Meteor Smash. |
| |[[Bayonetta]]||Uses her Wicked Weaves to summon Madama Butterfly's fist for an uppercut in front of herself.
| | *[[Ganondorf]]'s up smash is the most damaging up smash in ''Melee'' if it is fully charged and both kicks hit. His up smash has been [[nerfed]] in ''Brawl'', as it doesn't deal the most damage of all up smashes and only deals one kick. |

| ==Notable up smashes ==
| |
| *From ''Melee'' onwards, but not in ''Smash 4'', [[Ness]]'s up smash can hit opponents while charging as the yo-yo comes to rest on the stage in front of him. This is especially dangerous in ''Ultimate'', where the yo-yo can fall and hang off of ledges and hits multiple times (it cannot be charged off ledges in ''Melee'' or ''Brawl''), allowing it to lead into the attack proper. It is the only up smash to have a hitbox while charging. Its power does not increase in ''Melee'' or ''Brawl'' if charged but it does in later games. Ness's similarly-functioning [[down smash]] is the only down smash to have such a distinction, while [[Corrin]] possesses the only such [[forward smash]].
| |
| *[[Ridley]] and [[Luma]] are the only characters with arcing up smashes which hit behind them, then in front; all other arcing up smashes sweep from front to back. | |
| *[[Bowser]]'s up smash has protection on his shell during his attack – in ''Melee'' it is [[intangible]], but from ''Brawl'' onwards it is fully [[invincible]] – which makes the attack dangerous to trade with, especially from above. In ''Ultimate'', further protection is granted by damage-based armor during the startup of the move.
| |
| *{{SSBM|Roy}}’s up smash in ''Melee'' can [[spike]] when an airborne opponent is hit with the tip of the sword in its first few frames. The attack, however, is impractical for edgeguarding, as the spiking hitbox is small and has a short duration.
| |
| *[[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s up smash grants head invincibility while its hitbox is active (although in ''Smash 4'', it gains invincibility much sooner and in ''Ultimate'', Mr. Game & Watch's entire body is invincible). It has high startup lag but great KO power (especially in ''Brawl'') and extremely low ending lag, making it notoriously difficult and risky to intercept.
| |
| *[[Snake]]'s up smash has several unique properties. For one, the charging interval begins after Snake slams the mortar down in front of himself, making it the only smash attack to have a hitbox before it starts charging. Alongside [[Olimar]]'s, it is the only up smash to be a [[projectile]]. Charging the attack also does not affect the damage or knockback of the projectile, but instead greatly increases the velocity at which it is launched, and thus the height it reaches. The attack is also notable in ''Brawl'' for enabling the furthest-traveling [[DACUS]] in the game.
| |
| *[[Inkling]]'s up smash covers opponents in {{b|ink|status}}. | |
| *[[King K. Rool]]'s up smash, after his initial hop, protects him for a handful of frames with his characteristic [[Belly Super Armor]]. It also has a small hitbox as he begins to fall which [[spike]]s, which makes it one of only two up smash attacks to spike – the others being a sourspot on [[Roy]]'s up smash in ''Melee''.
| |
| *Throughout the series, but especially in ''Melee'', [[Fox]]'s up smash has been considered especially effective due to its near-instant startup and relatively high knockback. | |
| **{{SSBM|Fox}}'s up smash in ''Melee'' is known as the best grounded KO move in the game, due to high power and extremely fast startup; the hitbox comes out on frame 7, making Fox's up smash as fast as his grab.
| |
| *{{SSBB|Olimar}}'s up smash in ''Brawl'' is often considered to be the best smash attack in the game, due to its fast startup, large disjointed range, long-lasting hitbox, and high power: a Purple Pikmin up smash is capable of KOing the entire cast at under 100 percent on most stages.
| |
| *[[Lucas]]' up smash is the only attack in the series to grant both [[invincibility]] and [[intangibility]]. Coupled with its power, this makes it a dangerous attack to directly challenge. | |
| *In ''Smash 4'', {{SSB4|Mario}}'s up smash is considered the best in the game due to its power, range, speed, and the intangibility it grants on his head.
| |
| *Also in ''Smash 4'', {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}'s up smash, despite his bottom [[tier]] placement, is usually ranked among the best in the game as well. Despite its enormous power, it has deceptively low [[ending lag]], making it very difficult and dangerous to [[punish]].
| |
| *[[Palutena]]'s up smash is notable for having the highest vertical range of any non-projectile attack in the series. In ''Ultimate'', it is notorious for its long duration being able to punish dodges, landings, sidesteps, and edge options with excellent power. | |
| *In ''Ultimate'', [[Zero Suit Samus]]'s up smash is a reliable combo starter at low to mid percents, leading into all of her aerials except down air, while still possessing respectable kill power at high percents. This combined with the move's long vertical range, long-lasting hitbox, and rather low endlag makes it commonly considered among the best up smashes in the game.
| |
| *[[Wii Fit Trainer]]'s up smash is among the most powerful in both ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' when [[Deep Breathing]] is active, has several frames of full body [[intangibility]] during startup, and, after ''Ultimate'''s update {{SSBU|8.0.0}}, comes out extremely quickly relative to its strength.
| |
| *[[Min Min]]'s up smash is the only one able to reflect projectiles, and one of only four non-[[special move]]s with this property (along with Ness and Lucas's [[forward smash]]es and Kazuya's [[Left Splits Kick]]). | |
