Template:Character

This page is about Fox's SSB appearance. For information about his Melee appearance, see here.

Fox is the main character from Star Fox series and a character in all three Super Smash Games. In both SSB and Melee he is available from the start.

Fox appears in SSB as a speedy but weak character. His speed is unmatched in almost every aspect. His attacks tend to have less knockback than other character's, however, this gives him excellent juggling abilities.

Pros

  • 2nd fastest dash
  • Fast roll
  • Has a good projectile (Blaster)
  • Can reflect projectiles
  • Has the shine, which can be used to spike
  • Can juggle well
  • Has many combos
  • Powerful Uair
  • Versatile Jab
  • Good short hop

Cons

  • Light character
  • Falls quickly
  • Predictable third jump
  • Low priority on his attacks

Throws

Combos, Tactics, and Tricks

Off-the-Wall Chaingrabs

Conventional chaingrabbing doesn't exist in SSB due to high knockback of the grabs; however, certain characters can use the wall to repeatedly grab the opponent. Fox can do this very easily to several characters on Hyrule Castle. This tactic involves grabbing when one is slightly left of the structure on the far right side of the stage, bouncing the character off the side of the elevated area, short hop dairing (with a z-cancel of course), grabbing, etc.

Short Hop Double Laser

Main article: Short Hop Laser

If one's reflexes allow it, one can use Fox's laser twice in a short hop. This is useful for one's approach and counter-approach. Also, unlike in SSBM, Fox's lasers stun and do 6% damage, falling down to 3% after repeated use (compared to Melee's 3% down to 1% after repeated use).

Shine Canceling

In SSB, Fox's Shine cannot be jump canceled. Instead, one can cancel the Shine by landing during it (sometimes referred to as land-canceling). This is done by jumping and then using the Shine after Fox leaves the ground but before he gains any significant altitude.
