Up specials are one of the most important moves in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, being the primary recovery move for the majority of the roster. They may score high on a traditional tier list, but are they pretty enough to hold up in an animation tier list? That's what we're here to find out as we dive into the animation of every single up special in Smash Ultimate!

The first 1,000 people to use the link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/mockrocktalk10221 Thanks for watching everyone! A couple of points I want to address on this one: Most prominently, the Miis. I made a mistake by including them so early in the video; the segment was long, dense, and focused on characters without much of a fanbase. People weren't thrilled about watching it, and because they popped up so early, people weren't thrilled about watching the video (RU-vid shows you this kind of stuff in analytics). What I've done is chopped that section out of the video completely, and instead I've uploaded it as its own unlisted video in case you want to watch the (long, kind of tedious) process that went into ranking them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SRrV4lbNObw.html Dedede has an additional extra-laggy crashing animation that my early access viewers pointed out to me, which I'd never seen in my life before that point. Obviously couldn't alter his score, but would've included it if I'd known! *Main channel:* ru-vid.com *Twitter:* twitter.com/MrMockRock *Patreon:* www.patreon.com/mockrock *Twitch:* www.twitch.tv/mockrocktwitch *Teespring:* teespring.com/stores/mockrock *TimeBolt affiliate link* (excellent software I use to speed up editing on my videos, use code "MOCKROCK" for a discount): mockrock--timebolt.thrivecart.com/order-page/

@Chip10591 Год назад

All Wario's up-b needed was for him to make two W's with his hands at the end like his taunt, with his hands getting stretched in a cartoony manner, as his taunt does. This would have made it so Wario is taunting his enemy at the end of it, which is something that expected from him at this point. As for the free fall animation, they could make it so he leans back a little and almost starfishes back down to the ground, where he lands flat on his back, maybe having him flatten down a little to reinforce the impact in a cartoony manner. Maybe it's not perfect, but it would fit him a bit better than what he has now.

@cuttsthecat6331 Год назад

I think the Smash 4 animation is a bit better, at least his hands enlarge at the end of the move, so it looks a bit more cartoony, but even then it's still lackluster. The W hands would make a nice change

@ABAgamer_ Год назад

I love the idea of him giving the “W” sign at the end of the move. Really in character for Wario. As for the freefall animation, I was thinking of having him wave his arms all over the place with a panicked expression and takes in that impact once he lands. As if he gets over-confident when using the move and forgets he is in the air and has the “uh oh” look.

@Geneolgia Год назад

Wario barely references anything from in-game Wario Land aside from Shoulder Bash (let's not forget it was removed in Smash 4) which really sucks because logically taking inspiration from 2D games for characters makes more sense as Smash is a 2D game, even Smash Remix with all its limitations did a way better job at that.

@r.o.brobot3296 Год назад

@@Geneolgia also the entire series is represented in music form by one song, that being the first song from the most recent game (which is a mindset in terms of music rep for a game that sort of plagues some series in Ultimate, DKCTF is the first to come to mind). I know that this sentiment has been echoed by many but I really feel like Sakurai just decided that unlike many other characters, trying to make Wario feel like he came ripped out of his own series was just sort of optional.

@TheEmperorGulcasa Год назад

@@angeldude101 There are a lot of other things. She gets a lot more air giving a sense of power both to the leap and the slam back down. Her posing is a lot more exaggerated and decisive compared to her rather limp looking hold pose in the original also. The different changes come together to make the move look much snappier and look like it's got some real power.

@coopergreil6235 Год назад

One thing I wish you mentioned with the Links is that the particle effects of each spin attack match the effects of the game they came from. Young Link has a sort of conical shape that mixes orange and blue, the two different charge levels of the spin attack in OoT and MM. Toon Link’s sort of sawtooth pattern of white and dark blue matches the Wind Waker, and adult Link’s thin but bright streaks match Breath of the Wild. I love that.

I actually really like Rosalina's up special, but the one thing that actually annoys me(aside from the recovery error that you mentioned) is the fact that she uses rainbow stars as her launching pad, and not an actual Launch Star from the Galaxy games. Like they could've easily used the small variant

@jstar3382 Год назад

A sling star would be a better effect

@artistfloor9 Год назад

I think it looks nice. It’s a unique star generated by her magic rather than a “natural” launch star. Also a nice little reference to Rainbow Road.

@fco92DS Год назад

The particle effects of both Ness and Lucas PK Thunder are directly taken from Mother 3. The tail effects belong to the weaker variants (α/β), while the yellow hexagons belong to the stronger variants (γ/ Ω).

@DefNotStarscream Год назад

I feel like with Ganondorf just give him a teleportation move kinda like his entrance where surrounds himself with darkness and the dark affects look really good so it could be cool idea.

@jackdotzler6115 Год назад

For Dedede you could’ve also mentioned the built in pineappling animation. He hits his head and then free falls. Not that it would change his standing that much since he already gets an S tier ranking

@nmdubstudios6850 Год назад

The one thing I wish you mentioned about Snake is how he maintains a lot of his previous momentum when going into the up-B. Like if you use it at the apex of your jump, you’ll immediately thrust into the air, but if you use it while you’re falling you keep falling for a bit while the device generates enough force to actually lift you. Obviously this is partially a gameplay element, but the way the physics fit in with the move is so satisfying it felt like it was worth some acknowledgement.

@pkmngamer1236 Год назад

The problem with Little Mac's animation is that the startup sets him up to spin counter-clockwise, but then he ends up spinning clockwise.

@heliodorable4612 Год назад

i noticed that, it looks so weird!

@jaxsonsmith9457 Год назад

One detail I really, really like about Cloud's Climhazzard is that in the original game, it was a limit break that had him dash up to the opponent, stab his sword into them, and only after holding it in them for a second did he leap/ascend into the air. Even in speeding up that move to the degree that Smash necessitates, you can still notice that he does the stab before rising with it, which is why there's that multihit element on startup.

@skarmcl Год назад

One of the things regarding Mario's kit is that it's really hard to modernize due to Mario's concept as a fighter. He's supposed to be the beginner friendly character, and his Super Jump Punch is great at showing how Up Specials in this game generally function. It's a decent recovery, decent combobreaker and a decent combo finisher too and enables a lot of REALLY easy damaging combos for anyone that picks up Smash for the first time. I believe that for Sakurai there's no other attack inspired by the Mario series that is as quick and simple as Super Jump Punch and that's why they will likely never change it. In fact, I'd say the one special move change that Mario got (his spin being replaced by FLUDD) also sort of leans into the idea of Mario being easy to use since when you compare the two, FLUDD is definitely easier. All you got to do is press down b to charge it then down b to release it

@hi-i-am-atan Год назад

thing about that is, though, i feel like everything you just said would fit the galaxy spin jump even better. like, you use it in the galaxy games exactly how you'd use a typical up-special in smash - as a way to get more height or extend your airtime for recovery, as a "get off me" tool, _and_ as an air-to-air anti-air to deal with enemies above you - and it's stupidly fast and covers so much indiscriminate area around mario that if you ported it straight to smash, it'd immediately jump to the top of the oos tier list i mean, it'd be a weird to work it into his kit _now_ given how long it's been since the galaxy games, but damn if it wouldn't be a perfect fit if they went and retroactively slapped moves from all across the series into his kit

@soulcyclone360 Год назад

What I love about up specials is that they all (with expectations) need to fit the mold of "move that goes up", and some characters just don't have that kind of move from their game of origin. So they need to get creative and alot of the time it can be either funny or clever in the execution.

In defence of Ridley's Up-B, it does pull a bit from his boss fights in the Metroid Prime series. He performs a very similar lunge in Prime 3 as Omega Ridley, and the downwards version could be a reference to his Ultrathermal Flamestrike Projector stomp in Prime 1.

Helps it feel all-powerful and in control. Precise and calculating.

At 38:42 the reason that the additional particle effects are present on only the 1st up-b is because the 1st up-b is the actual Witch Twist from Bayonetta, which is done by holding the dodge and punch button at the same time where she preforms a break dance and then the twist, while the 2nd is Witch *Strike* which is done by pressing jump and then immediately hitting the punch button, so it serves not only as an indicator to if you have it or not, but also as a reference. Just another detail that wasn't needed but was lovely to see.

I really feel like Ridley's Up Special and Side B should've been combined into one move. It would make challenging him off stage WAYYY Scarier and would make for a pretty terrifying command grab Angled up, Up B would have him grab you and rip you apart, followed up by tossing you down Angeled to the sides would act like Side B normally does now and I think I'd keep down angled Up B the same since its a pretty brutal spike.

I feel like if dr. mario were made into like a legacy rep to represent mario's old moveset but lario were changed to a new moveset more representative of his modern appearances it would be an appreciated change overall

@kylehathaway332 Год назад

Great video. I feel like you missed out on an opportunity to talk about Dedede’s hilarious crash animation if you stop it too close to the ground and also Byleth’s meteor effect when you hit them at high percents. I just think that one feels great

@mikkie8082 Год назад

The thing is, if you stop DDD’s up-B just before he hits the ground, he takes longer to recover and looks more like a heavy impact when he lands

We need one for idle animations! (Though there are way more animations to look at than normally)

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a young link should be able to fly. His stubby sword is too small to get his little hylian body off of the ground. The young link, however, flies anyway, because young links don't care about what humans think is possible.

@Rogeryoo Год назад

I feel like Fly would be a better fit as a reference if it worked like Incineroar's Cross chop. You go in the air, then you slam down. Though making it that way would make Charizard's recovery pretty bad, so unless it also works like Steve's Elytra, I'm not sure making the move more similar to Canon would work that well.

@alexanderkosten7611 Год назад

Charizard did have a glide in Brawl like Meta Knight and Pit, but that entire mechanic got removed for being way too exploitable. Elytra is basically a nerfed version of Brawl glide and it is STILL one of the best recoveries in the game.

1:45:19 It's worth mentioning that if you have the Super Dragon the hit of Up B uses the heavy hit sound effect and it feels so much stronger, I mean, that's obvious because both knockback and damage get powered up too.

about the "MockRock Is Here (Relaxed)" - MockRock and "MockRock is Here" - MockRock, can u make a video of the music? I want to listen to it and I dont want to just go on ur video and repeat it. Please do this

I don’t know why but these are by far my favorite videos of yours

@burbusburbus8782 Год назад

My theory on why piranha plants head pulsates is because he's focusing a lot of energy to move his leaves like that, so he's kinda holding his breath. Which also explains at the end why he leaves his mouth open

Plants in real life work by pumping water from the roots upwards to the leaves

I love the reference to dedede's drum dash in his up b where if you interrupt it midway through it has less lag.

Wario’s Up-B is actually the Corkscrew attack from Wario World on the Gamecube (it’s even called that in Brawl)

@jacobrocket1734 Год назад

if an enemy is off stage, lunar launch can spike them which is a bit cool since it's forcing the character down to propel mii gunner upwards

@nuggetsandclide Год назад

11:20 as a Dedede main I noticed that you missed something here. Dedede stands up quicker the longer he has been in freefall after you cancel up b. If you cancel just as he's about to hit the ground he bounces around for what feels like an eternity, it also has a really amusing animation which is worth checking out. It's rare to see as Dedede mains avoid it at all costs for obvious reasons, you're super vulnerable and might as well just take the endlag of the completed move as it's shorter than the cancel, and even if it misses you can hopefully catch people off guard with the stars for a bit of protection. Great video as always, can't expect you to know every minute detail of every move, but the effort you go to in order to try and learn that knowledge to make these videos as informative as possible is admirable for sure ✌🏼✌🏼

Specifically on Ivy's upB sweetspot sound, I always thought it felt like hitting your elbow on the nerve Just a weird thing I wanted to say

@YounesLayachi Год назад

That's a great conception xD It makes the vine feel alive and not just some rope

@nutmegdoesstuff1339 Год назад

Actually, thing I noticed about chrom vs ike's up bs, chrom's doesn't do the cool sword throw thing ike's does, which makes it immediately way less cool.

@Octobeann Год назад

i'm a big fan of ridley up B specifically angled down, just for the fact that it seems almost perfectly designed to kill samus when she tries to recover.

@Novum228 Месяц назад

@CharNatorn 4 дня назад

Byleth does spike with his up special when the opponent is high enough percent. One of the most satisfying spikes to pull off

@theyo9619 Год назад

I think Marty and Lucinda’s up special is so pretty. Probably the prettiest in my opinion. It just feels good and looks so elegant and it’s so quick and effective. Chefs kiss

Sora in this game is specifically KH1 Sora, who literally just got the Keyblade a few days ago and is mostly trying to swing it like a stick. It makes sense that he doesn't quite know how to put his weight behind it convincingly yet, his fighting style was very improvised in the first game for story reasons and he's become noticeably more polished and technical as the series progressed.

@thinkublu Год назад

I feel like skyward slash brings to the forefront something important though - even if there was only one pose in the startup for all directions, it could still be a pose that works better in all directions rather than just one

@darklion2704 Год назад

I actually love Mario’s up b. Might be nostalgia, granted

@christopher2256 Год назад

what makes ike's Aether even better is that the animation (mostly) is 1 for 1 Aether from Path Of Radiance

@evanperry1843 Год назад

Oh my god I wish mock rock ALSO saw dededes animation when he cancels up b close to the ground it’s SOOOOO good

@XanderW7381 Год назад

If you didn’t know, shulk has different coloring on air slash and backslash because of the types of moves they are in the game. Air slash is a pink break art and backslash is a red damage based art. That’s why vision doesn’t receive that treatment.

@derpykidd7439 9 месяцев назад

something interesting to note is that young links spin attack being much more precise with the blade might have to do with the fact that young link might have more adventuring time since majoras mask happened and who knows how many times link had to loop which would drastically inflate the experience accrued over multiple loops

@deadriccow Год назад

My only 2 cents for a character needing to be moved up a tier is Bowser Jr. to S. Why? Because each koopaling has a separate voices for the laugh at the apex of the move. Also for each tether recovery needed to see the attaching to ledge animation as well (i.e. MinMin and dragon arm is biting the ledge to hold on essentially.

@YounesLayachi Год назад

1:42:00 there was an event in smash for where tons of G&W fall from the sky and fox & falco have to take them down... But all the G&W were falling in parachute and the jittery motion makes it hell xD

18:52 I still say they should’ve put a hover at the end of his jump, in a similar fashion to Peach/Daisy. Mewtwo float cancelling would be sick!

@mrbister8714 Год назад

It’s interesting to see how MockRock’s perspective has changed considering he previously said Pit’s up b was the worst animated one in the game

@MockRockTalk Год назад

Yeah, the Best Of/Worst Of Animation videos from a couple years back are some of the ones that I think have aged the most inconsistently (makes sense considering how subjective they are). I'll likely do a retrospective on them one day, but not until this series has a lot more entries.
