Fox (SSBM)/Forward aerial

Overview

Fox does five consecutive kicks in front of himself. The move has a rather long duration, which can lead to cause occasional SDs. It has a slightly higher hitbox than neutral aerial, making it useful in certain situations. Forward aerial can mix up DI, and tack on damage at early percentages. It can also be a decent combo extender, like weak back aerial or neutral aerial, but is generally outclassed by other moves in Fox's kit. Because of these reasons, it is rarely used in Fox's metagame.
