Rising Uppercut

Rising Uppercut is Little Mac's up special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Little Mac leaps up into the air to throw a right-handed corkscrew uppercut and then immediately follows with a left-handed uppercut. This move offers almost no horizontal movement, however, and its vertical travel distance is only about as good as an average jump if it's used in the air. Because of those flaws, Rising Uppercut is often considered to be the worst recovery move in the game.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Rising Uppercut's first custom variant is Tornado Uppercut, which only deals one hit to opponents, and is weaker, but has greater vertical distance. The second is Rising Smash, which deals one blow to send opponents into the air, then a second more powerful punch the send them flying; the move does not have as much vertical distance, however.
