Fox's DACUS can come out pretty instantaneously. Other than staying out of range or shielding, are there any other options?

Staying out of range/shielding are prediction options.
Reactions to it include shield grabbing, using a move to clank, rolling or spotdodging.

Imo the best option is to shield it, hold toward the Fox so I slide toward him and grab but others are acceptable.
You gotta find a way to combine 1-3 if these options to mix up/throw them off.

Fox's DACUS has no extra reach. That's just his normal running upsmash being absurd lol. Most characters cannot shield grab it, you need to shield it, then wavedash OoS to grab or otherwise punish it
