[@MerryBlind]

Marth’s Up-Tilt is easily better than Lucina’s imo. Sour-spot is actually useful for combos and juggles, and tipper is very easy to get and pretty powerful. Guaranteed on grounded opponents as well.

[@deleric807]

ESAM: This move is good ESAM with Zelda: Sparkly and pretty

[@fenn7923]

Marth's up tilt is one of the only moves I didn't struggle to tipper with when I picked him up. Plus that shit murders

[@toadboy4]

Excited for up air, because I main Corrin and I know his up air is really good, it kills at like 90% pretty consistently

[@obviouslyanonymous]

Marth up-tilt is really strong for both killing AND comboing. Reverse up-tilt is really easy to hit and has a long combo window. Really easy back air connection for kills at ledge

[@Jackaljkljkl]

Gunner Up Tilt is great platform pressure on all the legal stages (unlike Up Smash, which whiffs), and launching straight up in the air is obviously ideal for Gunner. It's frame 5 too. Unfortunately doesn't hit behind, but Gunner Up Tilt is still a hidden gem amongst his mediocre set of grounded normals.

[@bloodydoll5897]

im convinced that esam is just spiteful he's wrong about marth this keeps getting funnier

[@mitrimind1027]

Dedede's up tilt is definitely more useful than up smash. Spot dodge into up tilt works wonders against those dash grabbers.

[@jrsop666]

As a Kirby main, I expected his up tilt to be near the top. It's basically the second move I throw out in neutral. Down air, then up tilt. Honestly, Kirby up tilt would be the best in the game if it was as big as it was in 64.

[@Mike-di3mo]

[@finmin2k]

BRO play marth i usually agree with your marth opinions but marth up tilt is really easy to hit the tipper on, idk how much this changes it since lucina's is still pretty good but marth up tilt i usually hit the tipper

[@DeRez19]

Yeah you're right. That move is NUTS. I hate how top players ignore Marth just because Lucina exists. He barely went over it.

[@YouALLStop]

Yeah now I see why Spyder-Marth is so pissed on the regular about these "top player Marth takes." They clearly don't play the character but then make it as if Spyder doesn't know what he's talking about (although Spyder took multiple games off of skilled players like Mr. E so he is obviously upper echelon).

[@Liam3Bucks]

I'm glad Isabelle's utilt is getting some recognition.

[@DeepfriedBeans4492]

Gotta love how steve has tons of insane shield pressure… but yet they still gave him a projectile command grab and an insanely quick ranged grab

[@loganalleman]

Lucas's being lower than Ness's hurts. Like, it's frame 4, scoops on both sides, and lingers for 10 frames above him. Deserves a least top of mid

As a Samus main, I would have mentioned that her U-tilt is decent for comboing. While enemies in the air are launched forward, enemies on the ground are launched straight up and at low percents is good for follow-ups. I'd Samus can combo with it at her speeds, I imagine fast characters could take advantage more than her.

[@ryanepic6577]

32:41 as a Kirby main I completely agree. All his non-specials are honestly incredible and I think his specials are all severely underrated (except hammer that move sucks) Kirby without up tilt would kinda ruin him

[@potsandpineapples3319]

Kirby neutral B is great, Up B is decent, but Hammer and Stone suck

[@ryanepic6577]

@@potsandpineapples3319 Final Cutter (up b) in my opinion is honestly quite great on kirbys kit because of the multiple jumps. The spike is not hard to hit, but a character with only 1 midair jump would prefer a much better actual recovery move. Also Stone is quite useful in some matchups where they have a recovery with a hitbox that’s hard for dair or nair to beat. But it’s obviously very character dependent. And ya hammer is borderline useless

[@burbusburbus8782]

Just like with neutral b, I went to the end and see that Steve is at the top. And I wasn't even surprised. I just said "yeah, but who's second"

[@megaman7799]

Sora should be top tier. It starts combos, it continues combos, depending on the situation it even ends combos. It's really versatile and great at scooping.

[@senounatsuru6453]

Snake's up tilt is awesome as hell

[@silaspq]

Jigglypuff up tilt also combos like crazy low percent, You can do down air down air up tilt down air rest and it’s 100% true with bad DI Or you can up tilt to a platform and sing tech chase You can do a lot with up tilt as a combo move, and it’s a great way to secure kills and sense it’s so safe up tilt wiff back air is also great I’m happy with the position you put it in tho, I was hoping for at least that middle section lol

[@potsandpineapples3319]

Puff’s up tilt has like no range though, but that’s it’s one weakness. It does good damage and is decent at killing, but it’s also a combo move

[@TheAlolanRaichu]

24:13 "it has trample, who gives a shit", this is true, assuming your playing with a character with a better anti-air, cause it loses out to almost all aerials. on mac, it dont help him at all. trample is nice, but his ftilt has it too, uptilt needs air intangibility to be better, because mac doesnt have anti airs, and aerials, are his weakness. 'ooh but he has up smash" frame 10, hits above frame 13, but its weak spot which is very weak, and it has 30+ frames of end lag. also mac uptilt is neg on hit till like 20. have fun. yea its broken on any other character that has at least basic compensation for its weaknesses.

[@FellowGodzilla]

[@Nards_1997]

Ganons should be top 5 at least as far as mentally destroying your target

[@randomperson9799]

I would demote Villager to High Mid or Low High. Its also prone to being fell out of and its hitbox is quite underwelming.

[@Liam-cq8bg]

Granted I just skipped to the end but chrom and roy in mid is crazy to me. Especially roy's, its crazy fast, covers all around, and kills. Not sure how I feel about falcon and jigglypuff in high as well.

[@lunchbagSSBU]

[@Joseishish]

Personal bias on my part but wolfs should be higher

[@draa0gon]

I feel like ness's uptilt is really good. It hits on frame five, sets up a juggling situation, kills at high percents, it's fairly disjointed, and you crouch during the start up frames which lowers your hitbox.

[@ThisAintGood.]

Also I feel like Marth’s up tilt is HEAVILY underrated, it probably has the most consistent tipper of all his moves, the sour spot is still good for comboing at lower percents, and the sweet spot obliterates you

[@PeachTimeX]

@@ThisAintGood. Agreed. I just made a long comment explaining why it's so good lol. His up tilt is always glossed over just because "Lucina better." Then again, everything he does is glossed over by so many top players just because "Lucina better."

[@d-rug1498]

corrin up tilt is only good for down tilt into up tilt and anti air but as an anti air i think its solid

[@ringss_]

In my head, Terry's up tilt is mid, but considering he doesn't have the best air speed and also has a very stubby up air, so it may serve as a better combo tool on other characters even if they don't have Power Geyser

[@Creepo_J]

Terry is very mobile and has fast moved that combo into each other Spotdodge attack is stronger uptilt with more invul

[@ringss_]

@@Creepo_J Ok but that's a spot dodge attack, not an up tilt Terry has a pretty mediocre jump which means he doesn't get many good follow ups, but characters with physics like Rob, Falco, or Greninja would get better mileage from this move

[@Robbie_Haruna]

He did mention it's like a skullgirls character where in this context the character would transform to perfect the move

[@WhatxDxDxD]

I don't want to start a big discussion, just adding my thoughts. Ridley's uptilt might be high tier if the hitbox was the size the animation makes you believe it was. Imo the safety of the move doesn't really matter, because of it's limited horizontal range, it's not much more than an anti air. The way it is currently I don't see it higher than mid.

[@drthrawn8861]

The first hit of Kaz up-tilt combos into EWGF. He looked up the frame data of EWGF to know how fast a move would need to be to combo into from up-tilt. Since EWGF is frame 8, other moves that can come out frame 8 or faster should work as well.

I mean Ganondorf up tilt at least has a use case sometimes. Ivysaur doesn’t. But then again down smash 2 frames so not a lot of reason for up tilt to exist. Ivysaurs is still worse.

[@NurseBadTouch]

With corrin you can actually uptilt up air on a lot of characters especially with bad DI, but I agree it's definitely one of their worst moves

[@maximeminassian6002]

As a Corrin main, I’d say it’s only their 6th worst move actually. I think dash attack, up smash, down B, forward tilt and jab are worst moves overall.

@@Jackaljkljkl it’s decent, the back hit is really brutal just like every other pin moves but the forward hit kinda sucks and it’s something that’s best used to cover rolls and neutral getup in ledge trap and tech chase and pretty much nothing else.
