Fox (SSBM)/Down special

Overview

The hitbox of Fox's shine.

Fox's Reflector, known informally as a Shine, can reflect projectiles that are fired on Fox back at the opponent. Fox can also use the reflector as a direct attack, dealing 6% damage when fresh and knocking opponents on a semi-spike trajectory. One of the best moves in the game, and is a extremely good factor in Fox's metagame. The move can come out in one frame without any delay. It has set knockback and hitstun and can be used to perform an effective edgeguarding technique called the shine spike, where Fox can semi-spike an opponent who is offstage as a gimping or edgeguarding technique. The Reflector can be followed up with other moves such as an neutral aerial, up tilts, up smash, or another shine. Fox can also jump cancel the shine to avoid ending lag, giving him the ability to waveshine, wavedashing out of a shine.
