| As in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{s|wikipedia|Kenji Nojima}} reprises his role in the Japanese version with his re-recorded voice clips of the game. Mike West, who voiced Fox in ''{{s|wikipedia|Star Fox 64}}'' and reprised his role in the 3DS remake, ''{{s|wikipedia|Star Fox 64 3D}}'', now voices Fox in the English version, replacing Jim Walker from ''Brawl''.

|
| Fox has been ranked 7th/8th (tied with {{SSB4|Sonic}} on the last SBR tier list) in all versions of the [[tier list]] to date, placed in the A tier on the final tier list. This is a noticeable improvement from his previous position from ''Brawl'' where he was ranked 15th of 38 characters as an upper mid tier character, and marks Fox's return to being ranked as a top tier character, like in ''Melee''. Fox's strengths include very quick mobility, a fast and [[transcendent]] projectile in his {{b|Blaster|Fox}}, and an anti-[[camping]] move in his {{b|Reflector|Fox}}. Altogether, these grant him one of the fastest and safest [[approach]]es in the entire game and allow him to easily keep up with almost any opponent. Fox also boasts a versatile combo game thanks to his quick, low knockback moves, along with capable KOing power, with a quick and powerful finisher in his up smash.
| | ==Changes from ''Brawl''== |
| | Fox was objectively nerfed overall from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', although he did receive some buffs as well. Fox's neutral game is less effective overall, with increased lag on his aerials and less effective laser camping due to the removal of autocanceling on his [[Blaster]]. This means Fox can no longer safely bait bad approaches from his opponents. Additionally, some of his finishers (such as up smash and back aerial) have been weakened. One of his most significant nerfs was to his [[Reflector]], which can no longer allow him to stall in the air effectively due to its ending lag and has a much worse launch angle, making it completely ineffective for edgeguarding. |
|
| |
|
| However, Fox's fast falling speed, high gravity, subpar air speed and light weight make him one of the easiest characters to both combo and KO, making him prone to momentum shifts. His [[recovery]], while long-distanced, is linear and predictable, allowing for players to edgeguard him. His grab game is also poor, as his throws lack utility due to having no follow-ups past medium percentages or being realistic KOing options. The introduction of [[rage]] further burdens Fox, as the efficiency of his combos drops dramatically with it, as well as becoming even easier to KO. | | However, Fox benefits from the general changes of ''SSB4'', most notably from the removal of chaingrabbing, which was a prime reason for his mid tier placement in ''Brawl'', and hitstun cancelling, which restores his ability to perform short combos with some of his more versatile attacks, such as his up tilt and neutral aerial. Additionally, while Fox's neutral game was nerfed, it still remains better than most due to the universal nerf in mobility options. Although his primary finishers have been weakened (excluding up aerial), some other finishers previously considered situational (such as forward smash) have been strengthened. Fox also benefits from a better [[jab cancel]], which can set up KOs more reliably. His recovery has also improved, with [[Fox Illusion]] no longer leaving him [[helpless]] and [[Fire Fox]] traveling farther. As a result, he is considered to be better relative to the cast than in ''Brawl''. |
|
| |
|
| Regardless, Fox's weaknesses are not enough to keep him out of the top tier, which is evident by his high tournament representation, such as from {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, and Fox has attained great results.
| | ===Appearance=== |
| | | *{{change|Due to the new visual aesthetics in ''SSB4'', Fox's overall color scheme is lighter in comparison to his appearance in ''[[Brawl]]''. Additionally, his fur is of a higher visual quality than before, much like {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}}'s and {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}'s, and his teeth are more pronounced than in previous installments.}} |
| ==Attributes== | | *{{change|Fox's Blaster has a redesigned appearance, and the lasers appear to have a lighter hue to them, being more pink in color.}} |
| Fox fits in with the "hit-and-run" archetype, as he has very fast grounded movement and above average frame data. Fox's mobility is proficient overall: he possesses the third fastest [[walking speed]], the fourth fastest [[dashing speed]], below average [[air speed]] but high [[air acceleration]], the highest [[gravity]] and the fastest [[falling speed]] out of the entire cast. Despite his falling speed, he is also one of the lightest characters in the game (sixth lightest).
| | *{{change|Landmaster is now light blue instead of dark blue.}} |
| | |
| Along with his mobility, his attack speed is remarkable. Most of his moves come out in fewer than 10 frames, and some, such as his up smash, also boast terrific power. Though his aerials have noticeable landing lag, they have favorable [[auto-cancel]] frames, with his up and back aerials auto-cancelling in a short-hop, and the latter two deal high knockback as well. Fox's frame data grants him a formidable [[approach]], as he can [[pressure]] and poke with his tilts and aerials without leaving himself open to [[punish]]es. His {{b|Blaster|Fox}}, despite being nerfed, is an invaluable tool in Fox's arsenal. Its rapid-fire abilities and range give it great utility in zoning, camping, forcing approaches, and racking on damage. All of the above factors give Fox a powerful [[neutral game]].
| |
| | |
| Another shining strength is Fox's [[combo]] game. All of his tilts and aerials are capable of starting combos. His up tilt can combo into itself at low- to mid-percents, and can lead into his aerials at higher percents. Dash attack deals vertical knockback, leading into aerial combos and [[Juggling|juggles]]. Due to its high [[hitlag]], down aerial has reduced landing lag if it connects, allowing different follow-ups at a variety of percentages. Fox's down throw is also a reliable combo-starter at lower damages. Forward aerial has several set-ups, and if Fox lands while doing the move, he can jab lock the opponent with low-angled forward tilt, and may extend the combo after they are forced into their neutral get-up. Fox can also forward air an opponent offstage and [[fastfall]], which can lead into a [[footstool]] and kill extremely early.
| |
| | |
| Fox has good KO power for a character of his weight class. Up aerial is quick, powerful, and has a wide auto-cancel frame, making it relatively safe. Forward smash, while fairly weak, has moderate start-up and ending lag and long range. Down smash can catch opponents off-guard and gives them little chance to [[DI]], along with its decent power and [[semi-spike]] angle. Back aerial has low start-up and is a deadly semi-spike as well. Finally, Fox's most potent KO move is his up smash, with minimal start-up and powerful knockback. He also has a few notable set-ups into it, as both his neutral and down aerials can combo into it at high percentages.
| |
| | |
| However, Fox has a few weaknesses. His recovery, while far-reaching, is average at best. [[Fox Illusion]] is fast and grants long horizontal distance, but is linear and can no longer be shortened. [[Fire Fox]] can be angled in any direction, but is also linear and slow. Though Fox Illusion can now be followed up with Fire Fox, his recovery is nonetheless predictable. His very high falling speed and low weight leave him at the mercy of [[meteor smash]]es, and he usually cannot survive them even at lower percentages. In addition, similarly to {{SSB4|Greninja}}, Fox's [[walljump]] is highly situational and grants minimum vertical and horizontal distance.
| |
| | |
| Despite having several high-power moves, Fox sometimes has difficulty KOing his opponent. Most of his finishers are easily predictable even in spite of their speed, most notably his up aerial and up smash. Up aerial is hard to land without an [[air dodge]] read, and because it is commonly used to rack up damage, it is prone to [[Stale-move negation|staling]]. Back aerial and down smash have short reach and durations, and the latter is punishable. Forward smash is one of the weakest of its kind. His most reliable KOing move, his up smash, is difficult to connect without a read or set-up. It also has 45 frames of ending lag, making it extremely unsafe on shield. A majority of his moves also have somewhat short reach in comparison to other characters, forcing Fox to often be up-close to inflict damage most of the time.
| |
| | |
| Fox's grab game is quite mediocre. His down throw is easily DIed even at low percentages, and none of his other throws can combo effectively. He lacks a reliable KO throw, which further hinders his ability to close out stocks, and this gives him trouble against foes who continuously [[shield]] his finishers and set-ups. Fox does not have a particularly strong [[edgeguarding]] ability. He cannot maneuver effectively offstage due to his fast falling speed and slow air speed. He lacks a meteor smash outside of a pseudo autolink meteor in his fastfall forward air, and his aerials either have long durations, high ending lag, or both. In such situations, because of his falling speed, Fox often has to use Fire Fox to return to the stage, which is risky and can backfire if the opponent survives the attempt.
| |
| | |
| Finally, Fox has terrible endurance. His light [[weight]] and high gravity allow many characters to KO him below 100%. Not only that, but his falling speed leaves him extremely susceptible to combos, though less vulnerable to juggles. Thus, he loses the main advantage that light-weights possess while suffering from their most glaring weakness. Some characters can easily rack up 50% on Fox off of one combo, a prominent example being {{SSB4|Luigi}}, and he along with other characters can potentially bring Fox to KO percents with one or two combos. His aforementioned recovery issues only exacerbate Fox's frailty. Since Fox aims to rack up heavy damage but can struggle KOing, he is in even greater danger of losing his stock to opponents with heavy [[rage]], and his endurance prevents him from making effective use of the mechanic.
| |
| | |
| With custom moves on, Fox does gain good benefits. Impact Blaster behaves similarly to how his Blaster did in ''SSB'' in that it fires slower, but deals more damage, knockback, and makes the opponents flinch similarly to {{SSB4|Falco}}'s {{b|Blaster|Falco}}. Charge Blaster fires a single, powerful laser that has slower start-up, but deals good damage, [[hitstun]] and knockback. [[Wolf Flash]], originally belonging to {{SSBB|Wolf}}, propels Fox at 35° instead of only horizontally like Fox Illusion does and it can also spike airborne opponents. Flying Fox does not go as far and deals no damage, but has almost no start-up and propels Fox faster, making it harder to gimp. Twisting Fox does not fly as far and propels Fox slower, but has less start-up, sucks opponents in, and is much more powerful, KOing as low as 60% off the top blast zone. It also grants a large momentum boost, making it just as good for recovery despite the lowered distance.
| |
| | |
| Overall, Fox is a very capable character due to his great grounded mobility, fast attack speed, strong combo game, decent finishers and no crippling weaknesses aside from his poor endurance, poor horizontal aerial movement and linear recovery. He has attained excellent tournament representation, being used by high-level players such as {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, and he has strong results at all levels of play.
| |
| | |
| ==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
| |
| Fox received a mix of buffs and nerfs, but despite being directly [[nerf]]ed from ''Brawl'' to ''Smash 4'', several universal changes benefited Fox significantly more in ''SSB4''. Fox's neutral game is less effective, with increased lag on his aerials and a weakened camping game due to the removal of auto-canceling on his Blaster. This means Fox can no longer safely bait as many bad approaches from his opponents. Additionally, his general damage output and frame data were nerfed and some of his finishers (such as up smash) have been weakened. He is lighter, and the changes to [[hitstun canceling]] combined with his higher fall speed and gravity makes him even easier to combo and worsens his endurance. One of his most significant nerfs was to his {{b|Reflector|Fox}}, which can no longer allow him to stall in the air effectively due to its drastically increased ending lag, no longer has [[intangibility]] on startup removing its ability to break combos and can no longer semi-spike, making it much less effective overall now being near useless outside of reflecting projectiles.
| |
| | |
| However, Fox benefits from the general changes of ''SSB4'' enough to overcome these nerfs. This most notably includes the removal of [[chain grab]]bing, which was a major reason for his mid-tier placement in ''Brawl'', and early hitstun canceling, which restores his ability to perform short combos with some of his more versatile attacks, such as his up tilt and neutral aerial. Additionally, while Fox's neutral game was nerfed, it still remains better than most due to his retained mix-ups, excellent [[foxtrot]] and [[short hop]] and his overall mobility. Fox also benefits from a better [[jab cancel]] at higher percents, which can set up KOs more reliably. His recovery has also improved, with [[Fox Illusion]] no longer leaving him [[helpless]] and [[Fire Fox]] traveling farther. Fox benefits from the untechable [[reeling]] animation arguably more than any other character, as it now allows Fox to combo his weaker moves (such as down or neutral aerial) into his smash attacks for a K.O.
| |
| | |
| As a result, he is considered to be much better relative to the cast than he was in ''Brawl'' despite his moveset being noticeably worse, reflected by his much greater tournament success compared to ''Brawl'' with many more dedicated mains pushing his metagame.
| |
| | |
| ===Aesthetics===
| |
| *{{change|Due to the aesthetic used in ''Smash 4'', Fox's attire is sleeker, his overall color scheme is more vibrant, and his fur is of a significantly higher visual quality than in ''Brawl''. His teeth are also more pronounced.}}
| |
| *{{change|Fox has received three new [[alternate costume]]s, one of which resembles [[Slippy Toad]]'s appearance in ''Star Fox: Assault''.}} | |
| *{{change|{{b|Blaster|Fox}}'s design has slightly changed.}}
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Attributes=== | | ===Attributes=== |
| *{{nerf|Fox is [[Weight|lighter]] (80 → 79), hindering his endurance. While this would also make him less susceptible to combos, his faster falling speed, higher gravity, and the changes to [[hitstun canceling]] collectively result in him being more susceptible to combos.}} | | *{{change|Fox is lighter than in ''[[Brawl]]'' (80 → 79).}} |
| *{{buff|Fox [[dash]]es faster (2.08 → 2.184), now only slightly trailing his Melee dashing speed.}} | | *{{buff|Dashing speed is slightly faster (2.08 → 2.184).}} |
| **{{buff|His [[initial dash]] is also faster (2.1 → 2.4), still being the fastest in the game, but by a significantly larger margin this time around.}}
| | *{{buff|Fox's air speed is slightly increased (0.89 → 0.96).}} |
| *{{buff|Fox's [[air speed]] is faster (0.89 → 0.96).}} | | *{{nerf|Fox's falling speed is faster (1.831 → 2.05) making him more susceptible to combos.}} |
| *{{change|Fox [[falling speed|falls]] much faster (1.831 → 2.05), going from the third fastest to the fastest. This improves his vertical endurance (despite his lower weight/higher gravity), but makes him more susceptible to combos.}} | | *{{buff|The removal of [[chain grabs]] is a significant benefit for Fox in his matchups against other characters.}} |
| **{{buff|His fast-falling speed is significantly faster (2.5634 → 3.28), going from the fourth fastest to the fastest.}}
| |
| *{{nerf|Fox's [[gravity]] is even higher (0.175 → 0.19). While this does improve his ability to land, this also makes him even more susceptible to combos when he is not put into tumble and it hinders his endurance even further (especially horizontally).}}
| |
| *{{nerf|Fox's [[double jump]] is much lower, going from being around high enough to reach the top platform on [[Battlefield]] to now barely surpassing his full hop.}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[Roll]]s have less ending lag (FAF 32 → 27), now being among the fastest in the game.}}
| |
| *{{nerf|Rolls have a shorter duration (frames 4-19 → 4-14).}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[Air dodge]] has less startup lag (frame 4 → 2) and ending lag (FAF 50 → 31), now being tied for the second fastest in the game.}}
| |
| *{{nerf|Air dodge has a shorter duration (frames 4-29 → 2-25).}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[Spot dodge]] has less ending lag (FAF 26 → 25), now being among the fastest in the game.}}
| |
| *{{nerf|Spot dodge has a shorter duration (frames 2-20 → 2-15).}}
| |
| *{{buff|The changes to hitstun canceling and [[Directional Influence]], significantly improve Fox's combo potential, with Fox now gaining a slew of new combos and KO confirms due to their changes.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|However, they also significantly increase Fox's own susceptibility to combos due to his low weight and high falling speed, as well as noticeably hindering his already poor endurance.}}
| |
| *{{buff|The removal of [[chain grab]]bing significantly improves Fox's endurance moreso than almost any other returning veteran, while also not hindering Fox as he lacked any chain grabs of his own (outside of very difficult [[grab release]] chain grabs in a small number of matchups).}} | |
| *{{buff|The removal of [[tech]]ing from a reeling tumble state benefits Fox moreso than any other returning veteran as he can easily set up reeling with his forward tilt or late neutral aerial, which can then easily lead into an up smash for a KO.}}
| |
| *{{nerf|The removal of [[meteor canceling]] makes Fox significantly more susceptible to [[meteor smash]]es, due to his low weight and high falling speed, while he lacks any powerful meteor smashes of his own to compensate.}}
| |
| *{{nerf|The changes to aerial grab releases hinders Fox as it removes the guaranteed followups he had against a select few smaller characters, while unlike almost every other character, he is left more vulnerable to aerial release followups (as he is released higher in the air, making him land later).}}
| |
| **{{buff|However, his higher and less laggy aerial grab release animation also leaves him in a less exploitable spot when he is aerial grab released off stage.}}
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Ground attacks=== | | ===Ground attacks=== |

| | *{{buff|Neutral attack now links into a finisher, and is able to [[jab cancel]] into itself, grabs, forward tilts, or up smashes more reliably.}} |
| **{{buff|The first hit of neutral attack deals more knockback (10 (base), 20 (scaling) → 15/40), improving its [[jab cancel]]ing potential.}}

| **{{nerf|The first hit has more ending lag (FAF 16 → 18).}}
| | *{{buff|Forward smash is slightly stronger (10 base/96 growth → 20 base/98 growth).}} |
| **{{buff|The second hit deals more knockback (25 (base), 30 (scaling) → (25/32)/(70/80)), noticeably improving its jab canceling potential, especially at higher percents.}}
| | *{{nerf|Up smash has lower knockback scaling (96 growth → 94). It also has slightly less horizontal range, less vertical range, and more cooldown (IASA 44 frames → IASA 51 frames).}} |
| **{{buff|The second hit's body hitbox launches opponents at a higher angle (20° → 68°), improving its jab canceling potential.}}
| | *{{nerf|Down smash has much less base knockback (50 → 30) but higher scaling (65 → 75) making it overall weaker.}} |
| **{{change|The far hit is positioned slightly higher (y offset: 0 → 0.6).}}
| | *{{change|Down smash has a different charging animation.}} |
| **{{nerf|The second hit has more ending lag (FAF 18 → 21).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|The second hit deals less damage (2% → 1%).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|The second hit's arm and hand hitboxes send opponents at a less favourable angle, especially the former (80° → 40° (arm)/76° (hand)).}}
| |
| **{{buff|Fox now has to press the attack button three times in order to initiate the infinite (if he does not hold it after hitting an opponent). This makes it much harder for the player to accidently perform the neutral infinite.}}
| |
| **{{buff|The startup of the neutral infinite now has a hitbox on frame 3, significantly reducing the infinite's startup lag (frame 9 → 3).}}
| |
| **{{buff|The infinite's looping hits have more base knockback (5/3 → 20) and a lower [[SDI multiplier]] (1× → 0.4×), making them connect much more reliably.}}
| |
| **{{buff|The infinite now uses three extended hitboxes, giving the move more vertical range.}}
| |
| ***{{nerf|However, the move also has slightly reduced horizontal range.}}
| |
| **{{change|The infinite's looping hits now launch opponents vertically (361° → 60°/85°/78°).}}
| |
| ***{{buff|This allows them to connect more reliably.}}
| |
| ***{{nerf|However, this also removes their ability to [[lock]] opponents.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|The infinite deals less damage (2%/1% → 0.4% (starting hit)/0.7% (loop)).}}
| |
| **{{buff|The infinite has received a updated finisher, a side kick. This new finisher now uses a normal hitbox (rather than a windbox) which deals more damage (0% → 2%) and knockback (0 (base), 29 (set), 100 (scaling) → 30/0/170).}}
| |
| **{{buff|The finisher has a larger extended hitbox (5u → 6u), improving its range.}}

| |
| **{{nerf|The finisher launches opponents at a higher angle (0° → 361°).}}
| |
| *[[Forward tilt]]:
| |
| **{{change|Forward tilt has a slightly altered animation where Fox swings his leg more horizontally inward, as opposed to thrusting his leg out forward.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Forward tilt now only uses one extended hitbox rather than three normal hitboxes, which gives the move less horizontal range (with the move now failing to fully cover Fox's leg on the first two active frames), as well as making it cover less of Fox's body.}}
| |
| ***{{nerf|This also means that the entire move now has [[transcendent priority]] (rather than just Fox's foot), hindering its safety against stronger attacks and projectiles.}}
| |
| *[[Up tilt]]:
| |
| **{{nerf|Up tilt has a shorter duration (frames 3-10 → 3-7) with no animation change, reducing its range in front of Fox.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|The sweetspots have been repositioned (x/y offsets: 0/4 → 3.9/-0.6), slightly reducing their range.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Up tilt deals less damage (10% (ground foot)/8% (aerial foot/legs/body) → 9%/7% (ground/aerial foot)/6% (legs/body)), hindering its KO potential.}}
| |
| ***{{buff|However, this combined with the changes to hitstun canceling/DI significantly improves its combo potential beyond lower percents, to the point where the move now has some KO setups at high percents.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Up tilt now has a late hit from frames 6-7 of its duration, which deals much less damage (10%/8% → 6% (foot)/5% (body/legs)).}}
| |
| ***{{buff|However, this further improves the move's combo potential at higher percents.}}
| |
| *[[Down tilt]]:
| |
| **{{nerf|Down tilt deals less damage (9%/8%/7% → 8%/7%/6%), hindering its KO potential.}}
| |
| ***{{buff|However, when combined with the changes to hitstun canceling/DI, this improves down tilt's combo potential, particularly from mid percents with the sourspot.}}
| |
| *[[Dash attack]]:
| |
| **{{buff|Dash attack has increased base knockback (35 (clean)/20 (late) → 55/40). This not only improves dash attack's KO potential but when combined with the changes to hitstun canceling/DI, this also improves its combo potential.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Dash attack deals less damage (7% (clean)/5% (late) → 6%/4%).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|The clean hit's foot hitbox has been slightly repositioned (x/y offset: 0/-4.5 → -0.7/4.4), slightly reducing its range.}}
| |
| *[[Forward smash]]:
| |
| **{{buff|Forward smash deals more knockback (10 (base), 96 (scaling) → 20/98 (clean); 2 (base) → 20 (late)), improving its KO potential despite its lower damage.}}
| |
| **{{buff|The back leg hitbox is marginally larger (2.88u → 2.9u).}}
| |
| **{{buff|Forward smash has an altered animation where Fox's right foot enlarges more and Fox travels about twice the distance, significantly improving its range.}}
| |
| ***{{nerf|However, this does also make the move easier to punish on shield.}}
| |
| **{{bugfix|Due to the rebound hitbox flag being fixed, forward smash no longer rebounds, much like in ''Melee''.}}
| |

| |
| **{{nerf|Forward smash deals less damage (15% (clean)/12% (late) → 14%/11%).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Forward smash's foot and head hitbox is marginally smaller (4.32u/3.84u → 4.3u/3.8u) and the foot hitbox has been moved slightly closer to Fox (x/y offset: 0/4.2 → 4.1/0), slightly reducing its range relative to Fox.}}
| |
| *[[Up smash]]:
| |
| **{{buff|Up smash's leg hitbox is a tiny bit larger (4.099983u → 4.1u).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Up smash has a shorter duration (frames 8-10 (clean)/11-15 (late) → 8-9/10-11). The clean hit's shorter duration prevents it from being able to hit opponents on platforms, while the late hit's shorter duration significantly decreases the move's range behind Fox.}}

| |
| ***{{nerf|However, this also removes their edgeguarding potential.}}
| |
| **{{buff|The final hit has larger hitboxes (6.4u → 4.5u/8.5u) and it has gained an additional smaller hitbox on Fox's body (similar to its ''Smash 64''/''Melee'' counterparts), increasing its range.}}

| **{{change|The loop hits now uses a weak kick sound, while the final hit and new landing hit use a medium kick sound (rather than a medium punch sound).}}
| |
| **{{change|The final hit has a higher hitlag multiplier (1x → 2x).}}
| |
| **{{change|The final hit launches opponents at a higher angle (285° → 60°) and deals more knockback (33 (base), 40 (scaling) → 50/140).}}
| |
| ***{{buff|This improves the move's followup potential at lower percents (when auto-cancelled), while still being able to lead into KO confirms at higher percents due to the changes to hitstun canceling/DI (although the move is still too weak on its own to lead to KOes).}}

| **{{nerf|The first six hits now use smaller extended hitboxes (6.4u → 3u/3u), significantly reducing their horizontal range.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Compared to the previous loop hits, the landing hit deals less damage (3% → 1%), more knockback (33 (base), 40 (scaling) → 20/150) and launches opponents at a horizontal angle (285° → 361°). When combined with the move's higher landing lag (even when taking frame canceling into account) this hinders down aerial's followup potential, removing up tilt followups beyond lower percents (which are a lot more difficult to set up due to the horizontal launch angle) and tightening the percentage window for up smash KO confirms.}}

| |usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|16}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|11}} (late) | | |usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|16}} (clean) or {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|11}} (late) |
| |usmashdesc=A bicycle kick, similar to Yoshi's up smash. It loses strength the farther it is into the animation. The clean hit has the [[slash]] effect. It hits on frame 8, has high power, and has intangibility on head during startup and clean hit, making it Fox's most potent finisher. However, it has high ending lag (45 frames). | | |usmashdesc=Fox flip kicks the opponent, losing strength the farther it is into the animation. |
| |dsmashname=Ground Kick ({{ja|グラウンドキック|Guraundo Kikku}}) | | |dsmashname= |
| |dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|14}} (feet), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|12}} (legs) | | |dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|14}} (feet), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|12}} (legs) |
| |dsmashdesc=A split kick. Very fast start-up, hits on both sides and launches opponents at a semi-spike angle. | | |dsmashdesc=Fox does a split to attack both sides of him. |
| |nairname=Fox Kick ({{ja|フォックスキック|Fokkusu Kikku}}) | | |nairname= |
| |nairdmg=9% (clean), 6% (late) | | |nairdmg=9% (clean) or 6% (late) |
| |nairdesc=A flying kick. Due to being a [[sex kick]], it loses power the longer it is out. However, the late hit can be useful for setting up a [[slide smash]] or any other attacks, especially due to rather low landing lag coupled with Fox's quick falling speed. | | |nairdesc=Fox does a [[sex kick]] that loses power the longer it's out. If the weak of auto-canceled nair lands against opponent at high percentage, he can combo into a running up smash for a KO. |
| |fairname=Tornado Kick ({{ja|トルネードシャフト|Torunēdo Shafuto}}, ''Tornado Shaft'') | | |fairname= |
| |fairdmg=2% (hit 1), 1% (hit 2), 0.6% (hit 3), 0.8% (hit 4), 3% (last hit) | | |fairdmg=2% (hit 1), 1% (hit 2), 0.6% (hit 3), 0.8% (hit 4), 3% (last hit) |
| |fairdesc=Five swiveling roundhouse kicks performed in quick succession. This move makes Fox "hover" until the move ends if used right after a jump. Good for building up damage, as opponents will be trapped within the flurry of kicks for the duration of the attack. Suffers from moderate landing lag, but auto-cancels from a full hop. When fast-fallen, the first three kicks combined with a footstool are capable of [[gimp]]ing opponents offstage. | | |fairdesc=Five kicks in succession. Good for building up damage, as foes will "stick" to Fox for the duration of the attack. |
| |bairname=Reverse Spin Kick ({{ja|リバーススピンキック|Ribāsu Supin Kikku}}) | | |bairname= |
| |bairdmg=13% | | |bairdmg=13% |
| |bairdesc=A back kick. Has a very generous auto-cancel window, to where it can be used at the peak of a short hop and still auto-cancel. A useful edge-guarding attack, and deadly at the sides of the stage due to its good knockback and angle, though not to the extent of {{SSB4|Falco}}'s. | | |bairdesc=Fox spins to kick behind himself. |
| |uairname=McCloud Flip ({{ja|テイル&レッグ|Teiru ando Reggu}}, ''Tail & Leg'') | | |uairname= |
| |uairdmg=5% (hit 1), 11% (last hit) | | |uairdmg=5% (hit 1), 11% (last hit) |
| |uairdesc=A somersault kick. Auto-cancels out of a short hop. Fox's strongest aerial, as it deals high knockback to the point where it can even KO grounded opponents reliably at around 140%. In the air, it KOs at around 110%. and However, the first hit of up aerial can be SDI'd out of to avoid getting hit by the second hit. | | |uairdesc=Fox flips himself upward for a tail whip and follow-up kick. Deals above-average knockback, KOing near the upper blast line starting at 110% |
| |dairname=Air Drill ({{ja|エアドリル|Ea Doriru}}) | | |dairname= |
| |dairdmg=1.4% (hits 1-6), 3% (last hit), 1% (landing hit) | | |dairdmg=1.4% (hits 1-5), 3% (last hit), 1% (landing hit) |
| |dairdesc=A drill kick that hits multiple times in quick succession. Auto-cancels from a full hop, making it useful for reading jumps. The last hit deals low knockback. The landing hit launches opponents away and at high percentages, a running up smash can be used as an immediate follow-up. | | |dairdesc=A spinning drill kick that hits multiple times in succession. |
| |grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}}) | | |grabname= |
| |grabdesc= | | |grabdesc= |

| |fthrowdesc=Releases the opponent and quickly performs a cross, launching them forward. Can lead into a dash attack or up smash at low to high percentages if the opponent does not DI away or tech.

| |bthrowname=Close Range Blaster H ({{ja|クローズレンジブラスターH|Kurōzu Renji Burasutā Ecchi}}) | | |bthrowname= |

| |dthrowdmg=1.5% (shots), 1% (throw) | | |dthrowdmg=2% (3 lasers each), 1% (throw) |
| |dthrowdesc=Forces the opponent onto the ground and fires four rapid, point-blank shots at them with his Blaster. A semi-reliable combo starter into forward aerial, back aerial, or up aerial, depending on DI, but since it has high base knockback and scaling, such follow-ups become impossible past very low percentages unless the opponent DIs poorly. | | |dthrowdesc=Fox forces his foe onto the floor and fires three point-blank shots at them with his blaster. |

| | |
| ===Tier placement and history===
| |
| During the game's release, Fox was considered a mid-tier character by the ''SSB4'' community. Players believed the reductions to his overall damage output, the weakening of his up smash, the heavily increased landing lag on his aerials, the loss of [[Blaster]] [[auto-cancelling]] and shine-spikes, and his increased frailty resulted in him being worse than his ''Brawl'' incarnation. However, they slowly reassessed their thoughts on the character, as the removal of [[chaingrabbing]] and [[edge-hogging]] and the heavy changes to [[hitstun]] cancelling would prove beneficial to Fox, as such mechanics plagued him in ''Brawl''. Opinions on Fox improved further as players discovered the first two hits of his jab could perform [[infinite]]s and easily combo into other moves, including his main finishers. As a result, a massive amount of Fox players rushed into the competitive scene and quickly gained results, with many spamming the infinite as their battle strategy. Ultimately, this "infinite" carried even casual players to victories over experts. While nerfs to his jab in patch 1.1.0 removed the infinite and reduced its combo utility, his results continued to improve thanks to the efforts of players such as {{Sm|Charliedaking}}, {{Sm|Eon}}, {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, and most notably {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, who consistently ranked in the top 10 on global power rankings. In addition, Fox also notably benefited from the nerfs to {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Luigi}}, who were among Fox's most challenging match-ups prior to their nerfs.
| |
| | |
| These points have led Fox to be considered a top tier character by the community as the metagame advanced, which is reflected on him ranking at 7th on all iterations of the ''4BR'' [[tier list]]. This also makes Fox the only character to consistently stand on the same placing on each iteration of the tier list (although he shares the spot with {{SSB4|Sonic}} on the fourth and final tier list). However, some smashers such as {{Sm|Dabuz}} and {{Sm|ESAM}} have claimed that Fox should be ranked higher on the tier list due to his dominant results and overwhelming advantage state, with both players ranking Fox among the top 5.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| | *Fox's Alt. trophy in the ''Wii U'' version resembles his All-Star trophy from ''Melee''. Both of these trophies also use Fox in his green costume. |
| *Fox has three English voice actors in both versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. He has Mike West for his battle voice and the [[Orbital Gate Assault]] [[Star Fox Smash Taunt|Smash taunts]], Jim Walker for the [[Lylat Cruise]] Smash taunts, and Steve Malpass for the [[Corneria]] Smash taunts. | | *Fox has three English voice actors in both versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. He has Mike West for his battle voice and the [[Orbital Gate Assault]] [[Star Fox Smash Taunt|Smash taunts]], Jim Walker for the [[Lylat Cruise]] Smash taunts, and Steve Malpass for the [[Corneria]] Smash taunts. |
| **However, despite his current Japanese voice actor being Takashi Ōhara since ''Star Fox 64 3D'', Kenji Nojima reprises Fox in Japanese by the time of both ''Smash 4'' and ''Star Fox 64 3D''{{'}}s release dates. This trait is also shared with {{SSB4|Falco}}.
| | *''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' is the only ''Smash Bros.'' game where Fox is not holding his blaster in his official art. |
| *''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' is the only ''Smash Bros.'' game where Fox is not holding his Blaster in his official art and also the only game where he is not featured in the boxart of both versions. | | *Fox is believed to use the fighting style of Tae-Kwon-Do, as in his idle stance he is hopping similar to the style and his attacks mainly consist of kicks. |
| *Fox is the only top tier character in Smash 4 to have never changed position on any tier list, staying at 7th. | |
| *Fox is the only character in ''SSB4'' whose normal falling speed is higher than 2, at 2.05.
| |
| **This is also the first iteration where Fox has the fastest falling speed out of all characters in the game.
| |
| *In {{for3ds}}, Fox will appear to have two upper jaws if the game is paused right after getting hit, but only while using an attack that makes him visually open his mouth. This appears to be a graphical error similar to the "double mouth" glitch experienced by {{SSB4|Sonic}}.
| |
| *In {{forwiiu}}, there's an animation bug for the first two his of Fox's jabs where his forearms will detach from his model. This is hard to see due to the visual whiffs.
| |
| **Additionally, Fox has an expression bug with his down taunt where his blinking expression overlaps with his neutral expression of paused after he performs the second beckoning gesture.
| |
| **There's one more expression bug where if Fox grabs a edge with [[Fire Fox]], his eyes disappears during his edge catching animation.
| |
| *Fox and {{SSB4|Meta Knight}} are the only two characters whose clapping animation are slightly different in between the two versions. In Fox's case, his tail remains stiff in the Wii U version while it moves around freely (just like in ''Brawl'') in the 3DS version.
