Fox (SSBM)/Up aerial

Overview

The hitbox of Fox's uair.

Sometimes called the McCloud Flip, Fox whips his tail up and kicks immediately after. Fox's upair is among the most feared attacks in all the game; it has very high knockback and is a great vertical finisher, plus it can be comboed into from moves such as an up throw. This, along with up smash, gives Fox an advantage against light, floaty characters such as Jigglypuff. Adding to this, peforming SDI on the initial tail strike is difficult, making the attack extremely effective when the initial strike is landed.
