I’m just wondering what inputs should I use for jc upsmash? I’m having trouble getting it down.

There are a couple of schools of thought here. I tend to use the framing of returning the stick to neutral, and then up+a for a charge or up+c-stick up for no charge. This may be a quirk of how I hold my controller (I think people call it Colbol Claw or Left Claw usually) but this input has become absolutely trivial to me, and I have never missed JC up-smash to my recollection.

I think Leffen changes to claw for upsmash and uses Y + Cup. I have found consistency by casually pressing analog up and pressing both Y and A with my thumb. I roll it from above so that A registers a frame later than Y. Also my A button is shortened. I haven't seen anyone else do this but it works excellently. Not out of shield tho. This is only for running upsmash. I like Leffens method for upsmash out of shield.
