Despite his falling speed, he is also one of the lightest characters in the game (sixth lightest).Īlong with his mobility, his attack speed is remarkable.

5.2 Most historically significant playersįox fits in with the "hit-and-run" archetype, as he has very fast grounded movement and above average frame data.Regardless, Fox's weaknesses are not enough to keep him out of the top tier, which is evident by his high tournament representation, such as from Larry Lurr, and Fox has attained great results. The introduction of rage further burdens Fox, as the efficiency of his combos drops dramatically with it, as well as becoming even easier to KO. His grab game is also poor, as his throws lack utility due to having no follow-ups past medium percentages or being realistic KOing options. His recovery, while long-distanced, is linear and predictable, allowing for players to edgeguard him. However, Fox's fast falling speed, high gravity, subpar air speed and light weight make him one of the easiest characters to both combo and KO, making him prone to momentum shifts. Fox also boasts a versatile combo game thanks to his quick, low knockback moves, along with capable KOing power, with a quick and powerful finisher in his up smash. Altogether, these grant him one of the fastest and safest approaches in the entire game and allow him to easily keep up with almost any opponent.
Fox's strengths include very quick mobility, a fast and transcendent projectile in his Blaster, and an anti- camping move in his Reflector.
