Up tilt, abbreviated "utilt" or "u-tilt", is a tilt attack performed by any character by holding the control stick lightly upward and pressing A while on the ground. It can be difficult to pull off an Up Tilt quickly, as if you tilt to fast, you'll either Jump or do an Up Smash instead. Turning off Tap Jump can help avoid the former problem, or you can jump and hold up on the control stick.

Notable up tilts include:

  • Marth's up tilt, a high-range, upward swipe with the sword that combos into subsequent up tilts, grabs and forward smashes at low damage, and can kill enemies at high damage.
  • Ganondorf's up tilt has the longest set startup of any move in SSBM, in Brawl, it also creates a vacuum that draws other characters towards him.
