Overview

Fox does a quick forward-bicycle kick. Generally used less than Fox's other smash attacks due to its slower speed, diagonally angle, and average knockback, but it has longer active frames that can allow it to be a useful edgeguarding option. This is most commonly seen against Captain Falcon, whose mixup of recovering onstage or to ledge can often be circumvented by fsmash covering both options. It can also serve as a kill option when used unexpectedly out of combos and tech chases.
