Utilt Under-rated

Uptilt is an incredible move. I especially like to land an uair behind someone and go directly into utilt. It sets up a lot better than other options fox has on non-shine-combo-able people like luigi. Plus, uptilt is spammable due to a low startup time and very little lag, with killer range from directly behind him all the way to above him. This move cancels out a samus fully charged shot as well. It's amazing. I know that a lot of people appreciate this move, but I think it's worth mentioning.

Discuss.

I think it's great if you're technically sound in your spacing. WD backwards @ target -> utilt , used to be a staple in my fighting style. There are more useful things out there, but Fox's utilt ***** imo. The priority can stop a lot of things. Range isn't too good, but it stays out long. I especially like getting people with the very ending frames when fox's foot is at its apex. Easily combos in uair at many percents.

Utilt is pretty accurately rated imo. Combos into everything, much like every other move Fox has, but is a bit laggier by a little and doesn't have the priority of a grab, and is a little worse with DI.

Sometimes standing behind a shielder and spamming uptilt when they're at 120+% can give you a quick brute-forced kill. I think uptilt ***** sheik just like upair does, as well, setting up for more nice upair juggles.

It's not underrated, it's actually rated pretty highly. Just don't utilt into someone's shield.

I dont know of anyone who underates this move for fox or falco....you space yourself right it suddenly becomes one of the best combo starters in the game.

I like nair land behind them to utilt if they are a character that cant sh bair out of shield (or if you know the person doesn't do this :) )

also stupid people dont even DI out of it so you can get 2 or 3 which you can do into bair, fast fall full jump nair.



so yeah I dont think anyone underrates this move....least no one I know.
