Sheik (SSBM)/Up smash

Overview

Hitbox of Sheik's up smash.

Sheik puts her arms above herself and quickly, violently separates them to her left and right. Incredibly powerful when sweetspotted, being among the most powerful in the game, but otherwise does moderate knockback when sourspotted. The sweetspot is located at her hands when she splits them apart, though it's rather difficult to land under normal circumstances, requiring precise combo ability and accuracy to lead into it. In the NTSC version of Melee, it can be a reliable KO move after a down throw chaingrab or a down throw on its own.
