Fox was notorious for being considered by many to be the best character in ''Melee'' with some players even seeing him as [[broken]] due to his infamous dominance. As a result of this, Fox has been significantly nerfed overall despite technically receiving more buffs. All the traits that made Fox excel in the previous game are still intact: his excellent mobility, great frame data, the ability to force approaches with his Blaster, and his impressive and effective KO and damage racking ability (though the damage output on some of his attacks were toned down slightly). Some of his moves have seen improvements to their speed and some of his moves have seen various adjustments to either make them more reliable or to increase their utility such as his forward and down aerials. His aerials in general have lower landing lag and more lenient [[auto-cancel]] windows making the removal of [[L-canceling]] a fairly small loss for him compared to other veterans. His recovery has also been improved as his air speed is faster, his falling speed/gravity are lower, [[Fox Illusion]] travels more distance, his double jump is higher and he can use his forward aerial to increase the height of his jumps making him harder to edgeguard overall.

However, the changes to ''Brawl'''s mechanics have severely harmed him. He is much more frail than in ''Melee'' due to the changes in the knockback formula making his vertical endurance in particular significantly worse, despite being heavier. The introduction of [[hitstun canceling]] hinders him overall as while it makes him less susceptible to combos, it also significantly hinders his followup potential. The removal of [[DI]] against moves which don't put opponents into [[tumble]] also significantly hinders him as it makes him far more susceptible to inescapable [[chain grab]]s and [[lock]]s most notably from {{SSBB|Pikachu}} and {{SSBB|Sheik}}. The removal of [[wavedashing]] also severely harms him more than almost any other veteran as he was one of the characters who could abuse it the most due to his fast jumpsquat as well as his [[Reflector]] which could be jump cancelled.
