The Upperdash Arm (豪腕ダッシュアッパー, Dash Upper Strong Arm) is a weapon from Kid Icarus Uprising, acting as Pit's new side special move in Super Smash Bros. 4. The move involves Pit dashing forward, and then uppercutting any opponent he comes across with the Upperdash Arm, similarly to Raptor Boost. The move has also been seen to have armor during the dashing portion, though to what degree is unknown, and can also deflect projectiles near the end of the move.
Origin
Arms are one of the weapon classes in Uprising. Weapons in this class boast power in both melee and ranged combat, but are short-ranged and have a slow attack speed (in addition to considerably slowing Pit's running speed). The Upperdash Arm has weak normal attacks but strong melee dash attacks. The back-dash charged shot from this weapon is capable of sending foes airborne. Meanwhile, the Electroshock Arm inflicts paralysis, and has expanding charged shots.
