Rising Uppercut (ライジングアッパーカット, Raijinguappākatto) is Little Mac's up special move in Super Smash Bros. 4. It is Little Mac's primary means of recovery.
Overview
The Rising Uppercut is an attack similar to Corkscrew, causing Little Mac to spin as he ascends, finishing with an uppercut punch. The attack creates a stream of successive hits, leading into one another, ending with a strong upward blow. This is Little Mac's only means of vertical recovery, and it is notably poor at doing so in comparison to other up special moves, making another dent in Little Mac's already weak air game.
Origin
The uppercut is one of Little Mac's signature moves in Punch-Out!!.
