Fox's Side special in Melee is Fox Illusion, where Fox travels very fast forward, leaving behind afterimages as he goes. The attack not only does damage to opponents, but it can aid Fox in getting back to the stage.

Fox's side special move is known as '''Fox Illusion''', a move that involves Fox dashing forward whilst leaving afterimages of himself behind. These afterimages can damage opponents, but they are very weak. The move is primarily used as a [[recovery]] move, and it travels a decent distance, though inferior to the distance traveled by {{mvsub|Fox|SSBM|up special|alt=Fire Fox}}. However, Fox Illusion is a much faster horizontal recovery move, meaning it is Fox's best option for horizontal recoveries. The move knocks opponents who are hit by the afterimages upward slightly, but it is very weak and not a useful attack.
 
It is also possible to shorten the length of this move by quickly pressing the B button again after initiating the move. There are 5 shortened lengths for the move; one for each of the 5 frames in which Fox travels forward. Shortening the move is useful for making it to the [[edge]] whilst avoiding [[gimp]]ing options such as {{mvsub|Marth|SSBM|neutral attack|poss=y}}.
