Up smash/Knockback chart
This is a chart showing the KO percentages of every up smash as well as the base knockback and knockback scaling values of the strongest hitbox (or in the case of multi-hit smashes, the values of the final hit when all hits connect) for every character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The up smashes are given a general rank in power in comparison to other up smashes based on the knockback produced by their strongest hitbox at critical percentage. It should be noted that Lucario's up smash can KO even faster than Ivysaur's if Lucario is behind by two stocks, but this chart doesn't factor in the stock modifier.
Chart
The Uncharged Other Hitboxes section shows the KO percentages of the other hitboxes of the up smash while uncharged. Note that if an up smash contains only one hitbox, this section will read NA. Uncharged Strongest Hitbox shows the KO percentage of the strongest hitbox of the up smash while uncharged. The Fully Charged Other Hitboxes section shows the KO percentages of the other hitboxes of the up smash while fully charged. The Fully Charged Strongest Hitboxes section shows the KO percentage of the strongest hitbox of the up smash while fully charged. Uncharged Base Knockback shows the base knockback value for the strongest hitbox of the up smash while uncharged, and Fully Charged Base Knockback shows this value for when the up smash is fully charged. Uncharged Knockback Scaling shows the knockback scaling value of the strongest hitbox of the up smash while uncharged, and Fully Charged Knockback Scaling shows this value for when the up smash is fully charged.
Note that base knockback is the knockback produce by the hitbox at 0%, while knockback scaling is the knockback increase per percentage for the hitbox.
