'''Fox''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. He was remade to be nearly identical to his ''Melee'' counterpart in terms of attack hitboxes and animations. <!--tier position paragraph-->

==Attributes==
Fox is the famously potent fighter from ''Melee''. With incredible mobility, deadly [[combo]]s, and good options on both defense and offense, Fox is a force to be reckoned with. His moveset features the infamous [[shine]], which aside from [[reflect]]ing projectiles, is a key factor in Fox's combos and can be used to [[gimp]] opponents. The angle at which it sends opponents and its ability to be canceled with a jump or [[wavedash]] (known as a [[waveshine]] when done out of a shine) combine to allow it to lead into most of Fox's other moves. Fox's speed and his [[blaster]] come together to give him the ability to camp against opponents who do not [[approach]] Fox. For those who do approach Fox, they must deal with his [[up smash]] which is quick and deadly, especially [[out of shield]]. Fox's combo game is also notorious. Most of Fox's moves are oriented toward comboing opponents, with his aerials and tilts largely being lag free and great for repeatedly hitting opponents. Fox's up throw can set up for many moves, like one (or more) up airs, a back air, or a [[tech chase]] at lower percentages on [[fastfaller]]s with an up smash or another grab.

However, Fox's efficiency at tearing through opponents does not come without considerable weaknesses. Fox has a high falling speed (one of the highest in the game) and a low air speed, making him very susceptible to combos and [[chain grab]]s. He also has a rather short and linear recovery. The predictable behavior of both [[Fire Fox]] and [[Fox Illusion]] make Fox easy to [[edge guard]] or gimp, and Fox often has trouble making it back to stage despite only being launched to a distance where many characters could easily recover. 

===Changes from ''Melee'' to PM===
[[Image:PMFoxAlt.png|thumb|Fox's alternate costume.]]
*{{buff|Can now [[tech]] out of {{PM|Falco}}'s down throw.}}
*{{buff|[[Shine]] can be canceled even after reflecting a projectile, which prevents a shine lock from characters with fast projectiles such as Fox or Falco. This also allows reflected projectiles to be followed up on via a [[waveshine]] or other move out of a jump.}}
*{{nerf|[[Blaster]] shots decay in damage based on distance.}}
*{{nerf|Shine no longer has intangibility on the first frame of activation.}}
*{{nerf|Can no longer perform [[waveshine infinite]]s against walls, as opponents now fall down when the shine knocks them into a wall.}}
*{{change|Fox has a new [[idle pose]] based off of his "standing" victory pose from ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee''.}}

===Classic Fox===
Fox now has an alternate costume based off [[Fox (SSBM)|his appearance]] in ''Melee'', ''Star Fox 64'', and other earlier ''Star Fox'' games. There are four variations of this costume: the original and the three [[Team Battle|team]] colors used in ''Melee''.

==Revisions==
===2.1===
* {{buff|Up throw issues have been addressed.}}
* {{change|Forward tilt does not halt momentum when used.}}

===2.5b===
* {{change|General [[hurtbox]]es adjusted.}}
* {{change|Up smash animation made more alike to ''Melee''.}}
* {{change|Down throw no longer spins the victim around oddly while being lasered.}}
* {{change|[[Fire Fox]] hitbox placement adjusted to match ''Melee''.}}
* {{change|[[Reflector]] graphical effects placed where its hitboxes are properly.}}

===2.6b===
* {{buff|Reflector can be released during the reflect lag to go into the end animation afterwards, preventing rapid hitting projectiles like Fox's standing laser that can re-hit before the reflect lag ends from being able to trap him in it.}}
* {{nerf|[[Blaster]] projectile decays in damage based on distance.}}
* {{nerf|Reflector [[invincibility frame]]s removed.}}
* {{change|Animation transitions from Wait for some moves adjusted to look cleaner.}}
* {{change|Fire Fox distance ported from ''Melee''.}}
**Although due to the inherent differences of the ''Project M'' game engine from ''Melee's'', compared to ''Melee'' the move gives slightly more distance when used at a completely horizontal angle and slightly less distance when used at a completely vertical angle.
* {{change|Up taunt has the "Here I come!" sound effect re-enabled.}}

===3.0===
* {{buff|Laser duration now matches ''Melee''.}}
