I'd add :4mario: to that list.
K.O power may be average, but it's really fast, covers a bit in front and behind him in addition to above him, and is relatively safe. (very little end-lag)

:4lucas:'s up-smash is really strong, but... that's it pretty much. comes out slow, and easily punishable.
Most good Lucas players i met don't use it that often.

I also agree with :4fox: and :4kirby:.

:4yoshi: - comes out relatively quick, very strong, has some invincibility and hits behind him. Great move.

:4ganondorf: - this move has like no endlag. Great for baiting. Can also kill pretty early, but it's Ganon.

:rosalina: - combine this with Luma's and you get an incredibly strong move.

:4pit:/:4darkpit: - multihit, and great for juggles.


Those are some off of the top of my head.

:4myfriends:- hits with great range in front, above and behind. And because it's Ike, has a ton of power behind it.

To me, the reward goes to :4luigi:,:4mario:,:4kirby:, :4metaknight:, and :rosalina:.

:4luigi:: Average, but good ko, jiggle move, anti-air move, mindgame move, hit from behind to front, good for punishing rolls, OOS, and good pivot up smash all thanks to his invincible head. Plus his bad traction helps.

:4mario:: Same as his brother, but shorter than Luigi and better traction than Luigi.

:4kirby:: Invincibility in his feet, good for koing, and anti-air(but less than the Mario bros).

:4metaknight:: The sword hitbox protects him, combos out of down throw, jiggle move, mindgame with, and ko decently.

:rosalina:: Because of her height and Luma on her side, it serves as a good ko move, anti-air, jiggle move, combo possibly, and I think her head has invincible frames.

:4charizard: add him to this list. It's a lethal move that comes out very quickly and is a great move to use out of shield.

Maybe not the best around but definitely worthy of consideration.

Mario's up-smash is the best in the game, in my opinion. If I am thinking about up-smash, he is the first character I think of.
