'''Fox''' ({{ja|フォックス}} ''Fokkusu'') was confirmed for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' at Nintendo World 2006. Fox was the first fighter to appear on the DOJO!! that did not appear on the E3 2006 video. When he was revealed in the Nintendo World 2006 trailer, he was shown with his [[blaster]] in his hand at all times, leading to much speculation over how his attacks might change in ''Brawl.'' However, his gun is shown in its holster in all subsequent screen shots shown at the [[Super Smash Bros. DOJO!!]].

Fox is currently ranked 16th in D tier which is also known to be the borderline [[tier]], a fairly large downgrade from his position at the top of the ''Melee'' tier list (first to sixteenth). Fox still maintains his incredible movement and attack speed, with several highly damaging and effective setup moves (with his [[down aerial]] excelling at both qualities). To boost Fox's offensive prowess farther, he possesses a very fast [[up smash]] with sufficient horizontal and vertical [[reach]], that can reliably KO the majority of characters under 100% (which besides being very effective [[Slide smash|out of a dash]] or [[DACUS]], has a guaranteed setup at any percent with down aerial). Additionally, Fox possesses the fastest [[projectile]] in ''Brawl'' in his [[Blaster]] (that's also [[transcendent]]), a long reaching [[recovery]] with many options, and an effective semi-spike (his [[Reflector]]). Fox however, is notoriously frail, sustaining the fourth most [[knockback]] in ''Brawl'', with rather poor vertical endurance (despite strong vertical [[momentum cancelling]] abilities), and among the worst horizontal endurance. His endurance problems are exasperated by his extreme [[falling speed]] and acceleration, which leaves him heavily vulnerable to standard [[combo]]s and [[juggle]]s, as well as [[lock]]s and [[chain throw]]s, some of which can bring Fox to KO percentage from zero [[damage]], if not [[zero death]]ing him outright. Additionally, Fox's attacks are very poor on [[shield]], as they tend to be [[ending lag]] heavy, while lacking sufficient [[shield stun]] and reach to hit opposing shields safely, thus Fox is easily [[punish]]ed [[out of shield]]. Fox also has poor aerial movement and mobility, an over-reliance on his up smash to KO (while Fox does possess a few other KO moves, they are significantly less effective), and his projectile is unable to [[flinch]] opponents (thus it's incapable of hindering the opponent's [[approach]]). Nonetheless, Fox's amazing offensive prowess tends to outweigh his significant flaws, with his [[matchup]]s being above average overall (despite a few [[Counter (matchup)#Hard counter|hard counters]]), along with above average [[tournament]] results (though his results are significantly better in Japan, where he's [[Japanese tier list|ranked seventh in top tier]]).
Fox is currently ranked 15th in C tier which is also known to be the upper-mid tier, a fairly large downgrade from his position at the top of the ''Melee'' tier list (first to sixteenth).
