Ness (SSBM)/Up smash

Hitbox visualization showing Ness's up smash.

Application

While being relatively slow and easy to Crouch cancel, up smash has rare, limited potential when used as a high-percent combo starter, as an anti-air attack, and as a lingering trap to catch rapid approaches. The greater benefits of Ness' up smash come from its ability to activate the Yo-yo glitch which is commonly done from tech chase, from jab reset, and sometimes from shield poke.

Hitboxes

Note: if up smash was charged, the charged hitbox will be used instead of the no charge hitbox.
