Fox (フォックス, Fox) returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He was one of the characters confirmed to return in the game during the E3 2013 trailers. He has fur visuals of higher quality than before, similar to Donkey Kong, and his teeth are more pronounced than in previous installments. Fox has a new voice actor in both Japanese and English; in English, he is voiced by Mike West, his voice from Star Fox 64 and its 3DS remake.
Changes from Brawl
Fox was nerfed from Brawl to SSB4. His movement speed was nerfed, making his approaches much less safe and he can no longer laser camp to bait bad approaches from his opponents. Additionally, his finishers are weaker. He did gain better recovery options, but they do not compensate for the nerfs to his neutral and punishment games. His attacks overall have more lag as well.
Attributes
- Fox is lighter than in Brawl.
- Fox's Blaster has a redesigned appearance.
Ground attacks
- Some of his ground attacks produce a purplish streak.
- His neutral attack now links into a finisher.
- Dash attack comes out faster, and appears to have consistent damage throughout.
- Dash attack, forward smash, up smash, and up tilt deal less damage.
- Down smash and up smash are weaker.
Aerial attacks
- All aerial attacks have greater landing lag.
- Forward aerial is harder to SDI out of and is easier to combo into.
- Forward aerial no longer gives the "hover" effect it had in Brawl and now deals a third of the damage it dealt in Brawl.
- Down aerial can no longer meteor smash.
Special moves
- Fox's lasers appear to have a lighter hue to them, being more pink in color.
- Short hop lasers have lag upon landing and can only be fired twice during the short hop, lessening their utility.
- Fox Illusion no longer leaves Fox helpless after the move is performed in the air and no longer dashes over the edge when used on the ground.
- Fire Fox travels a greater distance, now nearly as much as it does in Melee (NTSC), and deals greater damage when fully connected.
- Landmaster is less powerful and lasts a shorter duration.
- Landmaster is now light blue instead of dark blue.

Alternate costumes
Trophies
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS trophy descriptions
- Fox
- Fox is the leader of the mercenary unit Star Fox, often enlisted to defeat the evil Andross. His piloting skills are top notch, but in Smash Bros. he brings speed and fast attacks to the battle. His Reflector move allows him to turn projectile attacks against his foes, increasing their power for a punishing blow.
- Fox (Alt.)
- Fox is at home in the air, and many of his moves, like his up smash, Flip Kick, will send foes up there. It's great for KO'ing a damaged opponent. Another handy move is his up special Fire Fox. The flames that surround Fox deal damage to nearby foes, and you can launch yourself in any direction once charged.
