Fox (SSB)/Forward aerial

Overview

Hitbox of Fox's forward aerial.

Fox does a feet-first kick forward, with a very similar animation to his forward smash, though it's obviously performed in the air instead, and he doesn't move any distance forward while using it. It does 12% damage and moderate knockback, while having decent combo ability, and being a pretty good edgeguarding move. It can combo into a reverse back aerial or a neutral aerial, as well as being a way to set up ground moves at moderate percentages on characters with fast or close to fast falling speeds, being able to lead into a jab or up tilt. Its decent range also makes it a usable spacing tool, mostly used out of short hops in conjunction with back aerial.
