	There is a movement technique in [[Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier]] that is similar to a boosted uppercut, but is not entirely the same. By uppercutting off of a ledge and rotating the camera, Jak is able to gain more horizontal distance than intended, hence why it is referred to as a boosted uppercut.
