Those Fox changes kind of sound like that useless nitpicky stuff we're all trying to discourage because they really don't make a difference. XP
And with Fox's shine, IMHO, people are trying WAAAY too hard to play offensively with an inherently DEFENSIVE move. Yes, you've found ways to use it to attack and gimp, and that's great, but that still doesn't take away the fact that it's still a defensive move. Changing it would take away what helps separate Fox's playstyle from other characters. Leave the offensive shine to Falco, please. =3.
