Rising Uppercut (ライジングアッパーカット, Rising Uppercut) 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.
Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:
- Tornado Uppercut: increased vertical recovery, but only hits a single time for 2% damage with weak knockback.
- Rising Smash: increased power and knockback, but sacrifices more of Little Mac's vertical recovery, and only hits twice.
Origin
The uppercut is one of Little Mac's signature moves in Punch-Out!!. In Punch-Out!! for the NES, Little Mac visibly jumps off the ground when he performs any punches to the head, as he is too small to reach his opponents' heads otherwise. The spinning motion bears a strong resemblance to the 3-Star Uppercut from Punch-Out!! for the Wii, which is a more powerful variant of the uppercut. In Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!, Doc Louis spins in a similar way when he throws a single-star uppercut.
