Fox also received new voice acting from Jim Walker and Kenji Nojima, his voice actors from Star Fox Assault in both English and Japanese Version of the game. In addition, his endurance has worsened due to the change in knockback formula.Īesthetically, Fox's design is a combination of his appearance in Star Fox Command and Star Fox Assault, and his much more detailed in comparison to Melee. Most notably, the change in physics has weakened his combo options, with his two options for KO's (up smash and up air), being weakened, and his Reflector being unable to jump-cancel. He could possibly be unstoppable.ĭue to his dominance in Melee, Fox was nerfed to balance him better with the rest of the cast. If a real Fox player knows and/or can play him the right way, he can reach great heights. With many reliable ways of combo attacks, great speed, and balanced defense and offense. In reality Fox is a well-balanced fighter. Although he has many great skills and combos, Fox can pull his weight around. However, he does everything very quickly, and once the opponent is knocked back he has flexible follow up options, but his speed makes him tough to control. His combination of very low weight (seventh lightest character), very fast overall falling speed (third fastest normal falling speed and fastest accelerated falling speed), mediocre directional influence, and mediocre recovery for his weight create a tendency to k.o. The average range make it non- difficult for him to approach characters with strong defensive games and fighters with better protection space him quite easily, forcing him to rely on his blaster to force approaches if needed, which some characters can avoid effortlessly. The end result is that Fox is a glass cannon. Some hindrances of this are that it makes him more susceptible to chain-grab (particularly to Pikachu's buffered chain-grab that has a 0-death on Fox) and locks (like Sheik's F-Tilt lock), and it shortens his recovery. One advantage of such speed is that it makes him more difficult to hit in midair. It has advantages and some hindrances, all of which must be known to make the best use of Fox. His falling speed acceleration is the fastest, and his falling speed is the third fastest in the game, which is unusual for a character as light as he is.
Fox is also able to wall jump and can boost grab most characters.įox's most notable (and notorious) attribute is his quick falling speed in relation to the rest of the Brawl cast (much like Jigglypuff having the slowest falling speed in the game). As far as recovery goes, Fox Illusion can be used to gain a horizontal boost, and can also be canceled before completion to trick opponents, as opposed to Fire Fox, which comes off much slower but can move vertically. The jump cancel has been replaced with a dash cancel, allowing a continuous volley across the stage (it works best at 70% and above depending on the character). Fox's Reflector not only reflects projectiles, but can semi-spike opponents when used in the air, and also slows Fox's aerial movement. As far as specials go, Fox's blaster can easily build damage from a distance, it refreshes stale moves if it hits, and it's also able to steal KOs. His Back-Air has high horizontal knockback. His F-Air can add extra height to Fox's jump, and also produces a hovering effect if used shortly after jumping (this usually makes up for his other recovery options). It is also a powerful vertical killer, his only move that can KO under 100%. His Up-Smash is a good move due to its high knockback scaling, speed, and reach. However, it is able to force approaches, unless the opponent has a lasting reflector, PSI Magnet, or low enough crouch to avoid it. This can complicate approaches, and his Blaster doesn't make up for that because it doesn't make opponents flinch. Fox's excellent speed is counterbalanced by the small and short reaching hitboxes in most of his attacks. Almost all of his attacks come off quickly and combine with each other.
Fox is a very light character who moves at very high speeds, clocking in as the third fastest runner and 2nd fastest walker in the game (with Marth being the fastest).
