[[File:RoyUpsmashSpike.gif |thumb|150px|[[Roy]]'s up smash in ''Melee'', showing its unintended [[spike]].]] | |||
*{{SSBM|Roy}}’s up smash in ''Melee'' can cause a situational [[spike]] if an airborne opponent is hit with the tip of the sword in its first few frames. This is due to the sword's multihits having a combination of upward/downward knockback angles intended to keep opponents in place, with the tip of the sword sending vertically downwards. Despite this, it is impractical for edgeguarding, as the spiking hitbox is small and has a short duration, making it difficult to land intentionally. Changes to the spike hitbox from ''Smash 4'' onwards have removed this unintended interaction. | |||
*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]]. | *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.

*[[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. | *[[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. | *[[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.

*[[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. | *[[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).

*[[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. | *[[Snake]]'s up smash has several unique properties.
