Fox has been a character who always been ranked high and players seeing great potential in him. In the first tier list, he was ranked 4th of high tier, right above Falcon. When the second tier list was released, Fox was able to take 2nd in S tier, being the only character to be ahead of Kirby, other then Pikachu, ever in the game's history. By the third tier list was dropped, Fox dropped below Kirby again, but both were placed in A tier where he was still seen as a top tier character. | Fox has been a character who always been ranked high and players seeing great potential in him.

In the time between the third and fourth tier list, Fox was still achieving notable success in tournaments. His matchups against the characters higher | In the time between the third and fourth tier list, Fox was still achieving notable success in tournaments. His matchups against the characters higher then him improved, to where it wasn't seen as dominating and his matchup with Falcon appeared to become even at this point. However, the abundance of Yoshi and Jigglypuff players during this time ended up hurting Fox, with Yoshi no longer considered to be a winning matchup for him and Jigglypuff's matchup against Fox no longer appearing as one sided as originally thought. Another problem was in recent years, Fox players weren't placing as high as they once were, with the two aforementioned characters taking much higher spots in tournaments. In addition to this, Hyrule Castle was being phased out of tournaments, which was a very strong stage for Fox. Fox could easily abuse his speed and laser pressure on Hyrule Castle due to its large size, the walls gave him strong combo potential and his recovery overall was less exploitable. With Hyrule Castle becoming less and less prevalent as time went on however, Fox was restricted to Dream Land, which is a stage he does not perform as well on, due to its smaller size restricting his ability to run away and camp. This would lead to Fox dropping back to 4th of A tier on the fourth tier list. However, it appears Fox might drop even further due to the general consensus that Yoshi has surpassed him since last tier list. Notable player Kerokeroppi thinks that Jigglypuff will also surpass Fox in the next tier list due to the performance of the character in the metagame. At the moment, its uncertain how Fox will do in the future with the constant advancing metagame of the characters around him. | ||
