Overview

Fox does a quick sweep with his tail. A well-rounded move with decent reach, speed, and knockback, that allows it to be used as a quick poke and a combo extension tool. Commonly used as an overshooting approach, as well as an alternative to a jab reset after hitting a lightweight opponent with Shine. Its low profile hitbox is also well-suited to catching people jumping and recovering to ledge, and can shieldpoke some characters from the back of their shield when spaced very close. All-round, a good move with a lot of utility in many matchups that can be used for a variety of purposes.

As a frame 7 move, it can true combo from Fox's drill against several characters, as long as the drill is un-staled, and is otherwise commonly confirmed off running shine and nair.
