Overview

A 540 kick. Despite the move's high startup, its ending lag is very low in comparison. The move is very devastating when both hits connect and works as a strong anti-air, this is made more effective with its leg intangibility. However, the move has problems connecting on opponents on a platform above him, and makes the move a lot less effective on opponents circle camping.

Update History

8.0.0

• The second hit has more knockback scaling (72/74/80 → 80/81/88).

9.0.0

• Up smash's first hit has swapped priority for its 12% damage hitboxes, and they deal less knockback (30/8 base/20/10 set → 5/0 base/10/0 set), allowing them to connect more reliably into the second hit, especially against opponents on platforms above Captain Falcon.
