Fox (SSBU)/Neutral special

This article is about the hitbox visualization in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. For the move itself, see Blaster (Fox).

Hitbox visualization showing Fox's neutral special, Blaster.

Overview

Fox shoots lasers from his blaster at a fast pace. The lasers have transcendent priority, meaning they cannot be snuffed out by attacks. They are also flinchless, meaning they cause no hitlag or knockback. This property alongside their fast fire rate means Fox can use them to rack up damage if the event of breaking a shield at lower percents where his smash attacks can't KO reliably. They can also be used to force approaches to punish from camping opponents and zoning characters (however, this isn't as effective against Steve, due to his blocks being able to sponge up the damage from the lasers), although Fox's rushdown play-style can make this counter-intuitive at times. The lasers also suffer from damage falloff, meaning they become weaker as they travel farther. Despite this, Fox's laser can be a valuable asset in the right hands and isn't to be underestimated.
