Fox (SSBB)/Back aerial

Overview

Fox does a moderately slow kick behind himself. Deals 15% damage. It is rather powerful, being capable of KO'ing reliably under 150%, and is useful for edgeguarding. If the move is sweetspotted, it hits opponents on a semi-spike trajectory, and is one of the strongest semi-spikes in Brawl. However, its short range and short-lasting hitbox hinders its effectiveness, especially for spacing. It also has high ending lag, making it somewhat risky to use offstage. However, a successful sweetspotted back aerial on an opponent trying to grab the ledge can KO as soon as 50%. Despite its high ending lag, however, it has little landing lag (similar to Lucario's neutral aerial), making it a safe move to use in a short hop fast fall or RAR. If sourspotted, it instead hits opponents at the Sakurai angle.
