The '''shine spike''' is one of [[Fox]]'s [[edge-guard]]ing techniques.  It consists of using Fox's [[down B]] to [[spike]] an opponent who is already off of the stage down and away, to prevent their [[recovery]].  Note that the term 'spike' is used loosely here, because it is not technically a spike, but what many like to call a 'pseudo-spike'. This is because it doesn't send the opponent straight down, but rather, at an angle to the side. Theoretically, [[Falco]]'s Down B from [[Melee]] could also work. Other infamous pseudo-spikes are [[Link]]'s Spin Slash and [[Peach]]'s D-smash. Other lesser known Shine Spikes include [[Captain Falcon]] and [[Ganondorf]]'s Neutral Aerial attacks, and [[Jigglypuff]]'s Up Aerial. They are most likely lesser known because they do not work as well, (specifically Ganondorfs, as he is heavy and falls faster then many opponents).
