Fox's '''[[Blaster (Fox)|blaster]]''' fires red lasers at his opponents. The effects of the shots have changed from its [[Fox (SSB)/Neutral special|Smash 64 incarnation]], having a faster fire rate and an increased projectile speed, but no [[hitstun]] or ability to [[flinch]] opponents, making it unable to stop [[approach]]es or combo into other moves such as jab or up-smash. However, players can still make use of its long range to [[projectile camp]], potentially racking up damage from a distance. Fox can also perform the [[short hop laser]] technique so he can draw his blaster quicker and reduce the [[ending lag]]; he can also move around slightly while doing so. Fox can perform other similar techniques, including [[short hop double laser]], [[ledgehopped double laser]], and [[wavelanded laser]], albeit requiring consistently fast reflexes to do due to Fox's very quick [[short hop]].

In some instances, the lack of hitstun and flinch can actually be of benefit to Fox. In instances where inflicting those states would make the opponent actionable, such as a [[Shield#Shield_breaking|shield break]] or missed [[rest]], fox can rack up percent using the blaster before hitting them with a combo starter or finishing them off with a kill move. The move can also assist in getting that shield break, considering that, when unstaled, it deals 7 frames of shield stun, meaning that, if the move is done frame perfectly, Fox can be (+3) on shield.
