Fox (フォックス Fokkusu) was one of the characters confirmed to return as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 during the E3 2013 trailers. He appears to have fur visuals of higher quality than before, similar to Donkey Kong. Also, his teeth appear to be more pronounced than in previous installments. Fox appears to have a new Japanese voice actor [1].
