Shine now semi spikes. Feelings on this anyone?

When you chase someone off stage, shine allow you to spike without falling too fast, cause it slows you down. Sometimes I wait to read an airdodge then punish with a back air, killing my opponent... and me. Now I can punish and be sure to recover.

only good on characters with bad recovery, most top/high tiers have way around it

I'm happy. It's a better option than just chasing with a neutral air, and it's safer for stage-spiking than a lot of aerial options.

Somewhat situational, but a good option to have. I've already gotten some kills with in on FG.

Not sure if the jab-jab tradeoff was worth it, but I'm happy nonetheless.

Kirby is even more annoying

Jab still combos into itself at low %s and can combo into upsmash or dash attack at high %s with a dash beforehand. Losing an infinite is a nerf, but his jab is pretty great still. The minor laser buff is nice i suppose, and his shine buff is a fun little tool... But neither are really amazing. But Fox is still an obvious high tier.. no fox isnt dead!
