The '''shine spike''' is one of [[Fox]]'s [[edge-guard]]ing techniques. It consists of using Fox's [[down B]] to [[semi-spike]] an offstage opponent, in order to [[gimp]] them, preventing them from being able to [[recover]]. The shine spike is especially effective, because the shine has [[set knockback]] and [[hitstun]], making it as capable at zero percent as it is at three hundred percent. Also, since the move slows Fox's vertical movement, it allows him to easily recover after spiking, especially in ''Melee'', since the shine can be jump-cancelled in that game as well.

==Shine edgehog==

The Shine edgehog is a very useful tech for Fox offstage. It allows him to use ~~the~~ [[Reflector]] and grab the [[ledge]] after the move is done. First, the player must dash to the ledge. Before their momentum takes them off the edge of the stage, they must perform a Shine and quickly turn around in the air. (Note: This can be done without turning around, but turning around in the air gives more distance with the slide, plus Fox is then able to [[sweetspot]] the edge.) Doing it without turning around is practically useless, because it only goes so far, and players sweetspot the ledge before performing an unturned Shine.

This can be linked with a combo, like the [[~~dash shine~~]]. Characters with [[up special move]]s that [[meteor smash]], including {{SSBB|Ike}} and {{SSBB|Kirby}}, can drag them down from the ledge, but if performed incorrectly, this tech allows a character to shine spike and [[edgehog]].
