Fox's dash attack

Dash attack is an attack performed by pressing the attack button while dashing, (running, in others words). Dash attacks typically use the momentum behind the dash to pull of some sort of attack, like a sliding kick. Most dash attacks come out quickly, but have noticable ending lag and are predictable, making them very easily shield-grabbed. In Brawl, certain Dash attacks can be interrupted by performing an Up Smash, which is known as Dash attack canceling. Often, a combo is used with the low, more combo based knockback of the dash attack, leading up to a more powerful KO move known as the Up-smash
