Up smash

Up smash, abbreviated "usmash," is a smash attack performed by any character by tapping the control stick upward and pressing A, or (in Melee's versus mode) by pressing up on the C-stick. The up smash can be charged by holding down the A button for up to two seconds in conjunction with the C-stick, resulting in higher damage and knockback.

Notable up smashes include:

• Pikachu's up smash, which is often considered one of the best in the game because of its knockback and well-spaced hit box.
• Sheik's up smash, which is the strongest in the game when sweetspotted.
