![]() Down tilt is one of Fox's best combo starters despite it being difficult to connect, and can combo into most of his aerials and up smash at various percentages. Up tilt can combo into itself and can lead to other grounded moves or aerials. Forward tilt, while mostly used for spacing, can be used as a combo starter at low to mid percentages and can start tech chases at higher percentages, giving Fox an opportunity to extend his combos if the opponent fails to tech or if the tech is read properly. Though a majority of his combos are not as lengthy compared to other characters like Sheik, the higher damage output makes up for it.įox's tilts are an important part of his combo game. Almost all of his moves can combo into each other and he even has several KO confirms. Alongside his fast falling speed, this gives him a good aerial approach and shield pressure.Īnother one of Fox's biggest strengths is his combo potential. All of his aerials also have quick startup lag, and some of them are able to auto-cancel from a short hop (back aerial, up aerial), or have low landing lag (neutral aerial, back aerial). All of his grounded moves excluding smash attacks have both low startup and ending lag, which allows them to connect and flow into each other extremely easily. In terms of attack speed, almost all of Fox's moves have less than 10 frames of startup lag, which greatly helps him with approaching and comboing, while some of them are decently powerful despite their quick startup. These attributes allow him to keep up with almost any opponent while additionally making him very difficult to punish. Fox is incredibly mobile: he possesses the sixth-fastest dashing speed, third-fastest walking speed, 33rd fastest air speed, 21st highest air acceleration, the highest falling (and thus fast falling) speed and gravity in the game, with the latter two allowing him to quickly move from the air to the ground with ease. 5.2 Most historically significant playersįox is a lightweight, hit-and-run type character with excellent grounded mobility and good frame data for the majority of his moveset.Finally, Fox received notable nerfs to his moveset that worsened his ability to set up kill confirms, such as the changes made to his tilts and throws.ĭespite these nerfs, Fox is considered to be just as good if not better than his Smash 4 iteration, and remains a top tier character with wide representation in competitive play, with players such as Light and Paseriman obtaining incredible results with the character. In addition, Fox has the fastest falling speed and gravity out of anyone in the roster, making him susceptible to combos and - when combined with his very low weight, potentially early KOs. Fox is also one of the lightest characters in the game, giving him poor endurance compared to the rest of the cast. Though Fox has several recovery options that cover a great distance, their linearity makes it easy for Fox to be edgeguarded continuously if the player isn't careful. ![]() However, Fox retains his flaws from Smash 4 such as his linear recovery, fast falling speed, and considerably light weight. Fox's combo and juggling game also greatly benefits from universal changes made in the transition from Smash 4 to Ultimate, such as the game's increased speed, reduction to landing lag, and airdodging nerfs. Fox also has many ways to kill reliably thanks to his powerful and quick smash attacks and his notoriously safe back aerial at ledge granting Fox the ability to overwhelm his opponents easily. Fox retains many of his strengths from the previous game including his phenomenal movement options, stellar frame data, and high damage output resulting in him having one of the best neutrals and advantage states in the entire game. This is a slight improvement from his placement in Smash 4 where he was ranked 7th/8th out of 54 and tied with Sonic. Brawl and Smash 4.įox is ranked 5th out of 82 on the tier list placing him in S tier. In the Japanese version, Fox is now voiced by Takashi Ōhara, reprising his role from Star Fox 64 3D and Star Fox Zero, replacing Kenji Nojima from Super Smash Bros. ![]() 4 with new voice clips, sounding more akin to his appearances in Star Fox Zero and Starlink: Battle for Atlas. Mike West reprises his role from Super Smash Bros. He was officially revealed on June 12th, 2018 alongside fellow Star Fox fighter Falco and the rest of the returning roster during the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct.
