Brawl'', he is voiced by Rob Paulsen, who also voices him in ''Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes''. He returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', where he was revealed on August 8, 2018. | ||

Gray Fox next appears in ''Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake'', also for the MSX2. Gray Fox is a more active participant in this sequel's story, as he serves as one of the main antagonists responsible for the Zanzibar Land uprising, and the right hand man of Big Boss. Fox first appears in-game piloting the new Metal Gear to destroy a bridge to prevent Snake's progress, killing his old lover Gustava in the process. Fox warns Snake to turn back or be killed, and later faces Snake both piloting Metal Gear, and in a fistfight after Snake destroys the mech. Fox is seemingly killed by one of the mines lining the room where he and Snake fight. | Gray Fox next appears in ''Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake'', also for the MSX2.

''Metal Gear Solid'' reveals that Fox was revived by unethical experiments after his last encounter with Snake, being turned into a Cyborg Ninja by Dr. Clark (formerly known as Para-Medic). The ninja infiltrates Shadow Moses Island to fight Snake again, wreaking a path of death through the facility. Fox puts an end to the confrontation between Snake and Revolver Ocelot by severing Ocelot's hand, and later menaces [[Otacon|Dr. Hal "Otacon" Emmerich.]] However, Fox also assists Snake as the anonymous "Deepthroat," warning him of hazards, and ultimately lays down his life for Snake in order to stop Metal Gear REX. | ''Metal Gear Solid'' reveals that Fox was revived by unethical experiments after his last encounter with Snake, being turned into a Cyborg Ninja by Dr. Clark (formerly known as Para-Medic).

When Snake and Gray Fox battle each other, Gray Fox initially uses his sword, but later switches to hand-to-hand combat. If Snake tries using any guns against him, he will always use his sword to block the bullets (unless he is "paralyzed" by chaff grenades). In ''Brawl'', Gray Fox uses his sword against his opponents. Gray Fox's projectile-reflecting ability is a possible reference to how he blocks projectile attacks in ''Metal Gear Solid''. | ||

It is the basis of all combat." Whenever Gray Fox is summoned while Snake is on the battlefield (regardless of whether Snake or the opponent summons him), he either says "Like old times, Snake..." or "That's it! I've been waiting for this pain." All of these quotes are some of the things that Gray Fox says in ''Metal Gear Solid'' when battling Snake. | ||

Gray Fox | Gray Fox makes an appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as an unlockable [[Assist Trophy]] in his Cyborg Ninja form. He is unlocked as soon as the player unlocks {{SSBB|Snake}}. His attack involves moving quickly around the stage and swinging his sword, with his swings capable of reflecting [[projectile]] attacks. If he falls off a stage, he can come back from the top. He can also teleport from anywhere in the stage and come back from the top. His skill, according to DOJO!, is so great, that it makes a few smashers want him as a playable character. | ||

Instead of reflecting projectiles with his sword, he now seems to have an invisible reflector in front of him. He can also be KO'd this time around.
