Fox (SSBM)/Down special: Difference between revisions

Fox's '''[[Reflector (Fox)|Reflector]]''', known informally as a '''shine''', can reflect projectiles that are fired on Fox back at the opponent. Fox can also use the reflector as a direct attack, knocking opponents on a set [[semi-spike]] trajectory. This move is considered one of the best moves in the game, as well as the primary factor in the advancement of Fox's metagame. It comes out in one frame without any delay and has [[set knockback]] and [[hitstun]], allowing it to be used for [[edgeguarding]]; [[gimp]]ing an opponent with this move is called a [[shine spike]]. By [[jump cancel]]ing the shine, which allows him to [[waveshine|wavedash out of it]], Fox can follow up with other moves such as a {{mvsub|Fox|SSBM|neutral aerial}}, {{mvsub|Fox|SSBM|up tilt}}, {{mvsub|Fox|SSBM|up smash}}, or another shine, making it one of the most versatile moves in the game.
