Since the [[Wii Remote]]-only control scheme lacks both a control stick and any other way to jump, up tilts become unusable without first holding up during a prior action, making them the only normal [[attack]] which a player may not be able to use for no in-game reason.

!Damage
|-
|{{SSB|Captain Falcon}}||Performs an axe kick. Has two hits, one while rising his leg, and one by slamming it down. Good knockback and damage, but low [[range]] and almost no combo ability unless next to a wall.||First hit, 4-9%, second hit, 6-14%.
|-
|{{SSB|Donkey Kong}}||Swings his hands in an arc. High starting and ending lag but good knockback and range. Can be used as a surprise KO move.||13%
|-
|{{SSB|Fox}}||Kicks upwards. A good combo starter with low lag. Little range, however, compared to other up tilts.||9%
|-
|{{SSB|Jigglypuff}}||Swings its foot upwards behind itself. Similar to Pikachu's, but slightly quicker, though with less versatility and range. Good combo ability, notably into [[Rest]].||10%
|-
|{{SSB|Kirby}}||Performs a high kick, hitting behind and above himself. One of the overall best moves in the game. It has a massive [[disjointed hitbox]], extremely low lag, and high damage output.||14% clean, 10% late
|-
|{{SSB|Link}}||Swings his sword in an arc above him. A very good combo starter with high range, in spite of its moderate ending lag. This move is notably superior in the Japanese version of the game due to its increased combo ability and range.||10%
|-
|{{SSB|Luigi}}||Throws an uppercut. Similar to Mario's but with slightly more range, lag, and knockback. Can combo into [[Super Jump Punch]] or a up aerial.||10%
|-
|{{SSB|Mario}}||Spins around and punches upwards. A usable combo move, but has notable ending lag, similar to his attack in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''.||10%
|-
|{{SSB|Ness}}||Thrusts above himself with both hands. Good combo ability with low startup lag, but very small range. Ness' staple combo move, often used as a linker between [[double jump cancel]]s.||3%
|-
|{{SSB|Pikachu}}||Swings its tail upwards. A solid move with good combo ability and range. However, it has too much ending lag to be quite as effective as Kirby's up tilt.||9-11%
|-
|{{SSB|Samus}}||Puts her leg up high and drops it, similar to Captain Falcon's but with much less knockback. Considered one of the worst moves in the entire game, thanks in part to its high lag.||First hit, 3-8%, second hit, 5-13% second hit.
|-
|{{SSB|Yoshi}}||Performs an upwards headbutt. Yoshi's main combo starter, especially against fast fallers and medium weights. Has large ending lag but surprising range. Notably possesses [[set knockback]].||11%

Based off of Ryu's close standing heavy punch in ''Street Fighter IV''.||2% (tapped), 12% (held)

Kirby's up tilt in Brawl.
Mario's up tilt in Melee
Wii Fit Trainer's up tilt in SSB4

An up tilt (abbreviated "u-tilt"), officially called a strong up (上強攻撃, Up/above/upper strong attack) before Ultimate, is a tilt attack that can be performed by any character by holding the control stick lightly upward and pressing the attack button while on the ground. It can be difficult to pull off an up tilt quickly, as if the player tilts too fast, they'll either jump or do an up smash instead. Turning off tap jump can help avoid the former problem, or the player can do some other action and hold up on the control stick before it ends.

More often than not, up tilts are used for juggling, as they usually lack the knockback to disturb low damage combos outside of a few exceptions such as Ganondorf and Captain Falcon.

Since the Wii Remote-only control scheme lacks both a control stick and any other way to jump, up tilts become unusable without first holding up during a prior action, making them the only normal attack which a player may not be able to use for no in-game reason.

Notable up tilts

  • Marth's up tilt, a high-range, upward swipe with the sword that combos into subsequent up tilts, grabs, or forward smashes in Melee, while it can KO floaty characters at mid-high percentages in both Melee and Brawl.
  • Ganondorf's up tilt, known as the Volcano Kick, has the longest startup for an up tilt, but deals high damage and extreme knockback. In from Brawl onwards, it also creates a vacuum that draws other characters towards him, and is notable from SSB4 onwards for instantly shattering full shields with the sweetspot.
  • From Smash 4 onwards, Captain Falcon's up tilt spikes opponents who are struck with his heel, making it the only up tilt in the series that is a conventional spike.
  • Snake's up tilt is possibly the most feared up tilt in Brawl with its high knockback, fast start-up, little ending lag, and huge disjointed hitbox. In Ultimate, its disjointed hitbox has been reduced, but it retains a frightening balance of speed and power, causing it to handily retain its status as one of the best up tilts in the game.
  • In Brawl, King Dedede's up tilt has more knockback than his uncharged up smash and has the third highest knockback of any up tilt, after those of Ganondorf and Snake, along with being not particularly slow, making it one of the best up tilts in the game.
  • Kirby's up tilt in Smash 64 is considered overall one of the best moves in any Smash game; this move has very quick start-up and good combo ability, and a hugely disjointed hitbox. It is notable for its ability to easily and quickly break shields, as well as being able to outspace some characters' reliable approach options on its own (such as Yoshi).
  • Mega Man's up tilt is very fast to start up and incredibly powerful with among the highest knockback of any tilt, but is very punishable. Additionally, it is the only tilt in the series that causes its user to functionally leave the ground.
  • Mario's up tilt in SSB4 can be confirmed into from down throw, and combos into itself. From there, he can use up-air strings into his up special to allow for 0-deaths, making Mario's up tilt likely the most revered one in the game. In Ultimate, it got nerfed, having less range, but it’s still an effective combo starter.
