My name is Blackburn Renard, but everyone calls me Black Vulpine ({{ja|ブラック・ヴルパイン|Burakku vurupain}}). I'm a furry! Don't be intimidated by my face though, I'm a nice fox, just a little... short-tempered.
My name is Blackburn Renard, but everyone calls me Black Vulpine ({{ja|ブラック・ヴルパイン|Burakku vurupain}}). I'm a furry and proud of it! Don't be intimidated by my face though, I'm a nice fox, just a little... short-tempered. I am however the asshole<sup>*</sup> who scrutinises all your edits, particularly those to do with [[SW:TRIVIA|trivia]], reverting anything that doesn't suit my incredibly strict standards. On the lighter side though, I am a sort of Mythbuster on this site, focusing on weird claims about the games and actually testing to see which are true and which are not, generally testing confirming claims such as [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Projectile&diff=prev&oldid=1615625 this], [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Pikachu_(SSB4)&diff=prev&oldid=1533423 this], and [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_unlockables_(SSBM)&diff=prev&oldid=1528458 this], while also busting claims such as [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Charizard_(SSBU)&diff=prev&oldid=1529354 this], [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Down_smash&diff=prev&oldid=1523213 this], and [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Giga_Bowser&diff=prev&oldid=1510026 this].

===Short range combat===
===Short range combat===
Highly aggressive, especially when playing as {{SSB4|Yoshi}}. Will attack rapidly or use strong attacks. If opponent counter-spams, I will generally time a smash attack against it, or grab them. I will also grab if the opponent is shielding. If the opponent is trying to camp and/or focus on long range combat, I'll try to keep closing the distance to put the pressure on.

===Punishing===
===Punishing===
I most often apply this to edge campers. If someone hangs out on a ledge for too long, or in [[SSB4]], jumps off the ledge then grabs it again, I'll throw out a down-smash or even a meteor to punish them. If I'm playing as {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, watch out!

In other cases, my skills at punishing are sub-par, as I generally have my other options covered rather than committing to one option that will have a powerful result. However, when I'm playing as {{SSB4|Little Mac}} with a [[KO Uppercut]] ready, if you throw out a counter or have a point-blank attack blocked, you're doomed.
In other cases, my skills at punishing are sub-par, as I generally have my other options covered rather than committing to one option that will have a powerful result. In some situations though, such as successfully reading a counter or having an enemy attack (about to be) whiffed, I can do things like charge a smash attack just a little bit longer to maximise punishment. Finally, when I'm playing as {{SSB4|Little Mac}} with a [[KO Uppercut]] ready, if you throw out a counter or have a point-blank attack blocked, you're doomed.

===Recovery===
===Recovery===
I'm better than most people at this. I also will often try to attack any edge-guarders, though I may also simply evade them. I will also often position myself to make getting hit by meteor attacks or other edge guarding moves very difficult. For those that do manage to get close, I'll either counter or dodge.

===Meteors===
===Meteors===
My favourite thing to do. There's nothing more satisfying than sending a reeling opponent from going straight down to their doom, and if you're just a little bit off with your recovery defence, you're doing down. Literally.

I have perfected meteor techniques for Yoshi, {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}}, Bayonetta, {{SSB4|Donkey Kong|}}, {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} and {{SSB4|Charizard}}. I'm also working on techniques for {{SSB4|Ike}} and {{SSB4|Shulk}}, so hopefully it won't be long before I can do those guys efficiently.

Yes, I'm one of those people. Just because they're going to fall and get KO'd doesn't mean I'm going to be satisfied. I want the opponent to KNOW how much contempt I have for them. (I seriously think we need an article about this...)

To extend from this, I can also bait certain players such as over-eager edgeguarders, and force errors out of them. For instance, if I'm playing as Mewtwo, hovering below the edge, just daring a Marth or Lucina to come after me, you decide to do so, but then I Teleport back up to the ledge, and presto, you've invested too much in that meteor, and there's no way back for you. Guess what? You've been baited.

===[[B-reversing]]===
I love using this technique to catch opponents off guard or get some fast turnarounds in. Despite how useful the technique is for me though, I tend to have trouble doing it in the air consistently.

Over the years that have followed, the name has been tweaked even further. I had originally kept Black Vulpine's full name to be 'Black "Dark Fox" Vulpine Renard', with Renard being the French word for fox. Since then, I discovered that 'Black' can be a shorthand for 'Blackburn', which I felt sounded even cooler than just 'Black'. Since then, Black Vulpine's full name has been 'Blackburn "Black Vulpine" Renard', with 'Black Vulpine' continuing to be the primary moniker for my alter ego up to this day.

While I have since learned that there is a music band with the same name, I have not been deterred from using this name, owing to the fact that US copyright law states that an infringement occurs where 'confusion is likely to result from the same name'. My argument is that this is not the case, given that Black Vulpine the band, and Black Vulpine the character are obviously two very different things. I have however changed both my Twitter and YouTube handle to 'Black Vulpine Fox' to assist with disambiguation, and improve discoverability slightly.
