A guide for Fox Mains

So in this guide, I will be covering some techniques that will improve your fox gameplay, I have nothing else to say so, "Here we go!", oh sorry, this is a Fox guide, so... "Say your prayers, Andross!"

Fox tip #1 - Make drill more effective <difficulty - hard>
If you are pressing back when you are in jump squat with Fox (and all other characters) and do an instant drill, you can get 6 hits of the drill, I tested this and it worked



Fox tip #2 - Standing Laser <difficulty - easy>
When opponents are being edge guarded and you know they cant make it back, you can use standing lasers to unstable your moves, and if you hit nine lasers, you will have essential made a brand new stock for yourself, with no staled moves, but you will obviously keep percents and stock count, so only a little extra percent on the opponents next stock



Fox tip #3 - 'Light Smash' <difficulty - medium>
Using the Z button to light shield after doing any action allows you to do a jump canceled up smash with
only the C-Stick and it will charge, I have yet to test this with anyone but fox and falco, but it CHARGES, I don't know why, but light shielding makes you slide backwards, putting you into a great position to Up smash if the opponent does not space there aerials correctly

Fox tip #4 - Shine Back Air <difficulty - hard>
This is just a setup for shine bair

I mean, it's an ok guide to an extent, but getting more in depth to each point is really important. Like, the mechanics behind Z + CStickUp, or explaining how to use hard fade back drills in different situations, or even just what characters it works against. Saying "I've tested it" isn't very helpful to a lot of players.

Another thing: SHDL is much better than standing lasers. Against marth standing lasers will only hit a few times (1-4) where as SHDL will hit an average amount higher
Nothing super crazy but its not bad
Very small tips, wouldn't call it a guide. Shine backair is obtained with tech skill, standing and shooting lazers, even between stocks, is really inpractical. the only good tip was to help with full drill, but didn't really need a whole guide for it. neat for trying to help but is essentially more clutter at this point
