However, this also allows it to be meteor cancelled or teched, and faces competition with up throw, which has true combo followups on the majority of the cast. | |dthrowdesc=Throws the opponent into the ground and shoots them with his Blaster.

*{{Sm|Armada|Sweden}} - One of the [[Five Gods]]. He initially developed Fox as a counterpick to the {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} matchup (instead of his usual {{SSBM|Peach}}), but his Fox eventually saw use against a variety of matchups and players. His Fox is often described as a perfect balance of aggressive and passive play, and he is the namesake of the "Armada Shine," a perfectly timed [[shine spike]] against an opposing Fox while charging their {{Mvsub|Fox|SSBM|up special}}. | *{{Sm|Armada|Sweden}} - One of the [[Five Gods]].
