*{{Sm|Aklo|USA}} - One of the best Fox players in the post-[[Netplay]] era, and one of the best players who first broke out during that metagame. He was ranked 10th on the [[SSBMRank 2023]], in addition to placing 2nd at {{Trn|Wavelength 2024}}, {{Trn|Luminosity Makes Moves Miami 2024}}, and {{Trn|Don't Park on the Grass 2024}}. | |||
*{{Sm|Armada|Sweden}} - One of the [[Five Gods]]. He initially developed Fox as a counterpick to the {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} matchup (instead of his usual {{SSBM|Peach}}), but his Fox eventually saw use against a variety of matchups and players. His Fox is often described as a perfect balance of aggressive and passive play, and he is the namesake of the "Armada Shine," a perfectly timed [[shine spike]] against an opposing Fox while charging their {{Mvsub|Fox|SSBM|up special}}. | *{{Sm|Armada|Sweden}} - One of the [[Five Gods]].
