Template:SSB4 to SSBU changelist/Fox: Difference between revisions

===Aesthetics===

*{{change|Like all characters, Fox is significantly more expressive than in previous games.}}

*{{change|Fox's taunts have been tweaked.}}

**{{change|Up taunt has a different ending animation, with him performing a short fist pump. He also says "Let's go!" instead of "Here I come!" during the taunt.}}

**{{change|Side taunt has an altered animation: Fox spins his Blaster in his hand rather than tossing it in the air.}}

**{{change|Down taunt has Fox saying "Come at me." instead of "Come on!".}}

===Attributes===

*{{change|The changes to [[perfect shield]]ing both benefit and hinder Fox. He can more easily punish the opponents [[out of shield]] with his fast moves and allows him to pressure shields because of perfect shields mostly being ineffective against multi-hits like his down aerial, but it also makes easier for the opponents to punish his safe aerials, most notably neutral aerial.}}

*{{buff|Like all characters, Fox's [[jumpsquat]] animation takes 3 frames to complete (down from 4).}}

*{{buff|Fox [[walk|walks]] faster (1.45 → 1.523).}}

*{{buff|Fox's [[air speed]] is noticeably faster (0.96 → 1.11), being average instead of below-average.}}

*{{buff|Fox's [[traction]] is higher (0.06 → 0.115).}}

*{{nerf|The removal of un-[[tech]]able [[reeling]] on the ground hinders Fox more than the rest of the returning veterans, as his [[up smash]] KO setups from his [[forward tilt]], [[neutral aerial]] and [[down aerial]] at high percentages can always be teched.}}

*[[Forward tilt]]:

**{{nerf|Forward tilt angled up deals less damage (8% → 7%).}}

*[[Up tilt]]:

**{{nerf|Up tilt's animation has been changed, with Fox's foot being higher and at a raised angle on the frame that the hitbox first comes out. This prevents it from 2-framing.}}

**{{nerf|The sourspots take priority over the sweetspots, diminishing the move's damage potential.}}

**{{nerf|Every hitbox except the sweetspot has been reduced (5.5u/5u/4u → 5u/4.5u/3.5u).}}

*[[Down tilt]]:

**{{buff|Down tilt launches opponents at overall higher angles (45°/65°/80°/90° → 77°/75°/72°), has higher base knockback (25 → 70) with lower knockback scaling (100 → 50), and has gained a [[hitstun modifier]] of 3. This noticeably improves its combo potential.}}

*[[Forward smash]]:

**{{buff|Forward smash deals more knockback (20 base/98 scaling → 28/100 (clean), 20 base → 30 (late)), improving its KO potential and improving its safety at lower percentages.}}

*[[Up smash]]:

**{{buff|Up smash's clean hit has increased knockback scaling (94 → 97), slightly improving its KO potential.}}

**{{buff|The early clean hit deals consistent damage (16%/14% → 16%).}}

**{{nerf|It no longer grants intangibility on Fox's head at frames 1-9, making it worse as an anti-air tool.}}

**{{change|The move's ending animation has been modified: Fox does a three point landing after doing his up smash.}}

*[[Neutral aerial]]:

**{{buff|Neutral aerial has less ending lag (FAF 42 → 39).}}

**{{nerf|Its hitboxes have a shorter duration (frames 4-25 → 4-23).}}

*[[Forward aerial]]:

**{{buff|Forward aerial deals significantly more damage (2%/1%/0.6%/0.8%/3% → 1.8%/1.3%/1.8%/2.8%/4.8% (hits 1-5), 7.4% → 12.5% (total)), with knockback scaling compensated on the last hit (130 → 103).}}

**{{buff|The linking hits have a lower hitlag multiplier (1× → 0.66×), making them harder to SDI out of.}}

**{{buff|All hits after the first come out faster (frame 13, 19, 26, 32 → 11, 16, 21, 26), allowing them to connect more reliably, and giving the move faster interruptibility as a result (FAF 51 → 44).}}

**{{nerf|It has less startup (frame 2 → 1) and ending lag (FAF 10 → 6), but deals considerably more hitlag (4 frames → 11), increasing its effective duration.}}

**{{buff|Pummel has an extended hitbox (Z offset: 6.5-9.5), improving its ability to hit bystanders.}}

**{{nerf|Back throw launches opponents at a higher angle (45° → 56°), worsening its ability to set up edgeguards.}}

*[[Down throw]]:

*{{b|Blaster|Fox}}:

**{{buff|Blaster has less ending lag (FAF 40 → 37 (grounded), 38 → 35 (aerial)), improving its [[camp]]ing ability.}}

*[[Fox Illusion]]:

**{{buff|Fox Illusion deals more damage (3% → 8% (grounded), 5% (aerial)), with knockback only fully compensated on the aerial version (10 base/170 scaling → 30/110 (grounded), 10/200 → 15/148 (aerial)). This drastically increases the grounded version's knockback, allowing it to KO middleweights under 180%.}}

*{{b|Reflector|Fox}}:

**{{buff|Reflector has less startup (frame 6 → 3) and ending lag (FAF 41 → 37).}}

**{{buff|The aerial hitbox launches at a lower angle (40˚ → 24˚), improving its edgeguarding potential.}}

**{{nerf|Its hitbox has a shorter duration (2 frames → 1).}}

**{{change|Reflector is a darker shade of blue.}}

*[[Final Smash]]:
