Super Smash Bros. Melee is Fox's second visit to the Smash Bros. scene, after his outing in the original for the N64. As a fighter, Fox is second to none in the hands of an experienced, fast-paced player. His lightning quick moves, fast, effective finishers, and unparalleled ability to spam his projectile weapon combine to form a fighter who is more than capable of dealing with anything thrown his way.
The new player, however, must be careful with Fox; more often than not, slow-moving or unwary players are caught off guard by the jerky, erratic nature of his moves, making him a difficult character to master. Also, there is always the natural tendency to continuously Illusion themselves right off the stage or fall off the edge in a Dair. Once he is well under your fingers, however, you will find that Fox can control any fight against any character using his incredible speed and versatility and more than a little blaster fire.
Fox requires quick reflexes, and much practice to unlock his potential.
