Does it function the same as Falco's? As in, is it used for shield pressure besides the occasional infinite? Are there any differences to it besides the shine and Fox's multi hitting drill kick as opposed to Falco's spike? Is it faster, more effective, and harder to do? :O

no it doesnt, falcos moves (Dair,shine) have more knockback than foxs so when they make contact with an opponents shield they cause more shield lag
i find the best way to pressure an opponents shield is to drillshine>rapid multishine it acts like a pillar and is really flashy to do.

fox's drillshine effect isless effective i woldl say for pillaring shields. but the drillshine-wavedash is excellent for comboing

falcos dair has more hitlag than foxs dair
falcos shine hits thru shields alot easier than foxs
foxs dair is faster than falcos dair frame-wise

but both can be shieldgrabbed out of a pillar, well it depends how u time ur pillaring
