Sheik (SSB4)/Up smash

Hitbox visualization showing Sheik's up smash.

Overview

Often called the "diamond cutter." Sheik moves her hands above her head and quickly thrusts them outwards, with the first hit at her hands as they first split apart, while the second hit occurring as her arms are thrust outwards. The move is relatively speedy, and the first hit is one of Sheik's strongest kill moves, even when uncharged. However, the second hit is rather lackluster, and setups into the first hit are rather limited, making it difficult to hit at times.
