Fox (SSBM)/Down aerial

Overview

Hitboxes of Fox's down aerial.

Fox does a drill downwards while airborne, doing a maximum of 19.38% damage if all hits connect (due to how staleness works) and very low set knockback. It's a very weak spike, and can only produce knockback on low handicapped opponents and Wire Frames, which combined with its long duration makes it mostly unreasonable to use offstage. However, it is a good move for racking up damage and a useful comboing move - it has a generous autocancel window so upon landing it can be followed up with other moves, such as an up smash as a deadly finisher, an up tilt to combo into another aerial, or a waveshine to continue the combo with other moves.
