{{incomplete|Smash 4 Uairs}}
An '''up aerial''' ({{ja|上空中攻撃|ue kūchū kōgeki}}, ''up/above/upper midair attack''; commonly abbreviated as '''uair''' or '''u-air''', and internally '''AttackAirHi''') is an [[aerial attack]] that is performed in midair by pressing the attack button while tilting the [[control stick]] upward. Its official term varies between titles; it is known as an '''up midair attack''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and an '''up air attack''' from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward.

An '''up aerial''' (abbreviated as '''uair''', '''UAir''', or '''AUA''', and referred to as '''AttackAirHi''' internally in ''Brawl'' files) is an [[aerial attack]] that is performed in midair by pressing the attack button and tilting the [[control stick]] or [[d-pad]] upwards. It also gains a moderate boost in height if the character's attack is a backflip used just before the apex of the jump, but the user loses their second jump. Its official term varies between titles; it is known as an "up midair attack" in ''[[Melee]]'', and an "up air attack" in ''[[Brawl]]''. Many up aerials are circle kicks, which have large range and very slightly disjointed hitboxes. They can also send the opponent in diverse directions. A lot of up aerials can be used for air [[juggling]].


Many up aerials either have wide arcing overhead coverage, such as kicks and sword swings, or are more narrow but powerful strikes directly above the character. Up aerials tend to have predominantly upward launch angles, making them the most effective comboing aerial on average. They are commonly used to safely pressure opponents on platforms, for catching landings and [[juggling]], [[sharking]] the ledge when off-stage, or sniping opponents close to the top blast zone for relatively early KOs. Many up aerials' landing animations involve the character falling on their back or upside-down before returning to an upright standing position.
A lot of up aerials in ''Brawl'' have a landing animation involving the character falling on their back and having to get back up.

! Character !! Description
|{{SSB|Captain Falcon}}|| Does a flip kick. Incredible hitstun and one of the most fearsome moves in the game due to its versatile uses in both combos and edgeguarding. Back of the hit is a very powerful semi-spike.||16%
|-
|-
|[[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]]||Kazooie swings her wings in an upward motion.

|-
|-
|[[Bayonetta]]||Performs a frontflip kick. If the button is held, Bayonetta somersaults repeatedly forward and kicks all around herself while firing [[Bullet Arts]] from her feet.
|{{SSB|Fox}}|| Flips then kicks. Has set low knockback with the first hit. Infinites if only the first hit hits. Second hit has great vertical knockback.||15% (total)

|-
|{{SSBM|Bowser}}|| A savage upward hit with his head. Very high knockback, but one of Bowser's slower moves. It is the strongest up aerial and one of the strongest aerials in the game (stronger than Ganondorf's dair on grounded opponents). ||9-17%
|-

|-
|{{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}|| A flip kick upwards, which is good for juggling fast -allers. ||10%

|-
|{{SSBM|Fox}}|| A flip kick with extreme vertical [[knockback]] and high speed. ||17% (two hits)
|-
|{{SSBM|Ganondorf}}||One of his most useful and fastest moves, and when used backwards, allows him to knock-out his opponents at low [[damage]] due to the [[semi-spike]]. ||13%
|-
|{{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}||Both Ice Climbers point their hammers above their head.||17% (total)

|-
|{{SSBM|Pikachu}}|| An air flip, hitting with its tail. This does not inflict much damage, but if this lands at a certain point, it can semi-spike, so it's excellent for edge-guarding.||4%

|-
|{{SSBM|Samus}}|| Brings her legs above her body and spins. Several hits.||10% (maximum)

==Notable up aerials==
[[File:ZeldaUairSSBM.gif|thumb|Zelda's up aerial in ''Melee''.]]
*[[Mega Man]]'s, as well as {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s in ''Ultimate'', are the only [[projectile]] up aerials in the series, and can be [[reflect]]ed or [[pocket]]ed.
**Mega Man's is known for its high maximum damage and many upward-launching [[windbox]]es, allowing it to KO early near the upper [[blast line]] if they attempt to jump out of it. It also turns into a [[meteor smash]] when reflected.
**Mr. Game & Watch's has multiple hits and extremely low knockback scaling that give high frame advantage as a projectile, making it an infamously oppressive juggling tool in ''Ultimate''.
*{{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}} has the only up aerial in ''Melee'' that cannot be [[L-cancel]]ed, due to being coded as a special move. This oddity is also present in his [[neutral aerial]] and [[back aerial]].
*{{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}}'s double as [[tether recoveries]].
*[[Captain Falcon]]'s is one of his most useful moves due to its large range and outstanding frame data. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', it KOs horizontally, while in all other games, it juggles and better combos into itself and other moves (most infamously into [[Falcon Dive]] in ''Smash 64'', commonly known as the [[Stairway to Heaven]], and into Knee Smash in other games).
*{{SSBM|Fox}}'s is most notorious in ''Melee'' for its deadly power, being the second strongest up aerial in the game, and being a consistent confirm from up throw across most percents.
**In ''Ultimate'', with its higher damage and more consistent multihits, it is also notorious for its ability to chain into itself extensively for massive damage.
*In ''Smash 64'', the strongest up aerial was {{SSB|Ness}}'s in the Japanese version, and {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}'s in the international versions.
*{{SSBM|Bowser}} has the strongest up aerial in ''Melee'', as well as one of the strongest aerials overall.
*[[Zelda]] has the strongest up aerial from ''Brawl'' onward, and is extremely strong in ''Brawl''.
*{{SSBB|Meta Knight}}'s [[Meta Knight (SSBB)/Up aerial|in ''Brawl'']] is infamous for its range and extreme speed, allowing it to juggle and combo into itself even with ''Brawl''{{'}}s minimal hitstun. It ties with Little Mac's neutral aerial for the fastest startup (frame 2) of any aerial in the series. Prior to {{SSBU|Steve}}'s gold up air, it had the lowest FAF of any aerial attack in the series.
**Although overall worse in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', it is instead notorious for its ability to chain into itself extensively for ladder combos and early KOs.
*[[Zero Suit Samus]]'s is notoriously effective, especially its fastest and strongest version in ''Brawl'', and in ''Smash 4'', where it often sets up ladder combos into itself and [[Boost Kick]] for an early KO off the top blast zone.
*[[Mario]]'s in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' is similar to ZSS's; due to its low lag all around and wide coverage above him, it has very high combo potential and early KO potential, namely into the meteor smash of his forward aerial, or [[ladder combo]]s into itself, which with platform extensions can be finished with [[Super Jump Punch]] for a KO off the top.
*{{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}}'s in ''Smash 4'' is widely considered one of the best due to Luma's high base knockback and fastest startup of any up aerial in the game, as well as Rosalina's large disjointed hitbox, which can combo into itself, juggle opponents toward the upper blast line and KO them at low percents with high [[rage]].
*{{SSB4|Cloud}}'s in ''Smash 4'' is often considered one of the best due to its speed, lingering hitboxes, low landing lag, immediate [[auto-cancel]] after the hitboxes cease, and low hitboxes in its first active frame, making it an oppressive juggling option that can also easily hit grounded opponents.
*{{SSBU|Corrin}}'s (in ''Ultimate'' especially) is notorious for its large hitboxes, wide disjointed arc and low all-around lag that give it high combo potential, juggling coverage and safety on shield.
*{{SSBU|Palutena}}'s in ''Ultimate'' is infamous for its large, disjointed and lingering hitboxes that auto-cancel in a full hop and chain into themselves and juggle very effectively, as well as its above-average power and autolink multihits helping carry the opponent toward the top blast zone for relatively early KOs.
*{{SSBU|Ivysaur}}'s in ''Ultimate'' is notorious for its massive hitbox and great power, as well as resetting any upward momentum into a downward velocity, allowing immediate fast-falls to chain into itself.
*[[King K. Rool]]'s uniquely resets his momentum and gives him a vertical velocity with [[Belly Super Armor]]. It also has very high ending lag, with the longest FAF of any aerial attack in ''Ultimate''.
*{{SSBU|Steve}}'s in ''Ultimate'', like his up tilt, is incredibly fast and easily combos into itself or other aerials. It is also the only up aerial in the game that can be repeated by holding down the attack button.
*{{SSBU|Sephiroth}}'s in ''Ultimate'' has notably immense range, far surpassing that of every other up aerial in the game.
*{{SSBU|Mythra}}'s is infamous for its disjoint, extremely fast auto-cancel and low knockback allowing it to chain into itself from multiple SHFFs as well as juggle extensively.
**{{SSBU|Pyra}}'s has a similarly infamous disjoint and auto-cancel, and uniquely has identical landing lag to Mythra's despite being drastically stronger.
