Falco does a flip kick with quick [[startup]], moderate vertical knockback, and moderate [[ending lag]]. It is significantly weaker than {{mvsub|Fox|SSBM|up smash|poss=y}}, to the point where it isn't considered a reliable finisher under 150% unless used on a stage's top platform, even against floaty characters. It can be used in situational combos or followups after a [[short hop laser]] or a full hop double laser where both shots hit, but Falco's {{mvsub|Falco|SSBM|forward smash}} is often a superior followup option from that setup. It can also [[juggle]] and [[tech chase]] opponents at lower percentages, but Falco has many other vertical-hitting moves that are faster and much more reliable for those purposes, such as his {{mvsub|Falco|SSBM|down special|alt=shine}} or {{mvsub|Falco|SSBM|up tilt}}. Due to these reasons, the move is rarely used in Falco's [[metagame]]. | Falco does a flip kick with quick [[startup]], moderate vertical knockback, and moderate [[ending lag]].

Due to these reasons, the move is rarely used in Falco's [[metagame]]. One niche use for upsmash is its ability to clip opponents through side platforms, which can make the weaker 2nd hit an occasionally useful tech chase option on stages like Yoshi's Story. | ||
