Tier	A (7)

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 on June 11th, 2013. He was also among the first wave of amiibo figures that are compatible with SSB4. Kenji Nojima reprises his role as Fox in the Japanese version. However, Mike West, Fox's original English voice actor who voiced him in Star Fox 64, reprised his role in the 3DS remake, Star Fox 64 3D and in the Wii U title, Star Fox Zero, now once again voices Fox, replacing Jim Walker.

Fox is currently ranked 7th out of 56 characters in the tier list, a significant rise from his previous position from Brawl where he was ranked 15th of 38 characters. Fox's strengths include very quick mobility, a fast and transcendent projectile in his Blaster, and an anti-camping move in his Reflector. Altogether, these grant him one of the fastest and safest approaches in the entire game and allow him to easily keep up with almost any opponent. Fox also boasts a versatile combo game thanks to his quick, low knockback moves, along with capable KOing power, with a quick and powerful finisher in his up smash. However, Fox's extremely fast falling speed, very high gravity and light weight make him one of the easiest characters to both combo and KO, making him prone to momentum shifts. His recovery, while long-distanced, is extremely predictable. His grab game is also faulty, as his throws lack utility due to having no follow-ups past medium percentages or being realistic KOing options. The introduction of rage further burdens Fox, as the efficiency of his combos drops dramatically with it, while he becomes even easier to KO. Regardless, Fox's weaknesses are not enough to keep him out of the high tier, which is evident by his high tournament representation (with dedicated mains such as Larry Lurr) and great results.

Attributes

Fox fits in with the "hit-and-run" archetype, as he has very fast grounded movement and above average frame data. Fox's mobility is proficient overall: he possesses the third fastest walking speed, the fourth fastest dashing speed, below average air speed but high air acceleration, the highest gravity and the fastest falling speed out of the entire cast. Despite his falling speed, he is also one of the lightest characters in the game (sixth lightest).

Along with his mobility, his attack speed is remarkable. Most of his moves come out in fewer than 10 frames, and some, such as his up smash, also boast terrific power. Though his aerials have noticeable landing lag, they have favorable auto-cancel frames, with his up and back aerials auto-cancelling in a short-hop, and the latter two deal high knockback as well. Fox's frame data grants him a formidable approach, as he can pressure and poke with his tilts and aerials without leaving himself open to punishes. His Blaster, despite being nerfed, is an invaluable tool in Fox's arsenal. Its rapid-fire abilities and range give it great utility in zoning, camping, forcing approaches, and racking on damage. All of the above factors give Fox a powerful neutral game.

Another shining strength is Fox's combo game. All of his tilts and aerials are capable of starting combos. His up tilt can combo into itself at low- to mid-percents, and can lead into his aerials at higher percents. Dash attack deals vertical knockback, leading into aerial combos and juggles. Due to its high hitlag, down aerial has reduced landing lag if it connects, allowing different follow-ups at a variety of percentages. Fox's down throw is also a reliable combo-starter at lower damages. Forward aerial has several set-ups, and if Fox lands while doing the move, he can jab lock the opponent with low-angled forward tilt, and may extend the combo after they are forced into their neutral get-up.

Fox has good KO power for a character of his weight class. Up aerial is quick, powerful, and has a wide auto-cancel frame, making it relatively safe. Forward smash, while fairly weak, has moderate start-up and ending lag and long range. Down smash can catch opponents off-guard and gives them little chance to DI, along with its decent power and semi-spike angle. Back aerial has low start-up and is a deadly semi-spike as well. Finally, Fox's most potent KO move is his up smash, with minimal start-up and powerful knockback. He also has a few notable set-ups into it, as both his neutral and down aerials can combo into it at high percentages.

However, Fox has a few weaknesses. His recovery, while far-reaching, is average at best. Fox Illusion is fast and grants long horizontal distance, but is linear and can no longer be shortened. Fire Fox can be angled in any direction, but is also linear and slow. Though Fox Illusion can now be followed up with Fire Fox, his recovery is nonetheless predictable. His very high falling speed and low weight leave him at the mercy of meteor smashes, and he usually cannot survive them even at lower percentages. In addition, similarly to Greninja, Fox's walljump is highly situational and grants minimum vertical and horizontal distance.

Despite having several high-power moves, Fox sometimes has difficulty KOing his opponent. Most of his finishers are easily predictable even in spite of their speed, most notably his up aerial and up smash. Up aerial is hard to land without an air dodge read, and because it is commonly used to rack up damage, it is prone to staling. Back aerial and down smash have short reach and durations, and the latter is punishable. Forward smash is one of the weakest of its kind. His most reliable KOing move, his up smash, is difficult to connect without a read or set-up. It also has 45 frames of ending lag, making it extremely unsafe on shield.

Fox's grab game is quite mediocre. His down throw is easily DIed even at low percentages, and none of his other throws can combo effectively. He lacks a reliable KO throw, which further hinders his ability to close out stocks, and this gives him trouble against foes who continuously shield his finishers and set-ups. Fox does not have a particularly strong edgeguarding ability. He cannot maneuver effectively offstage due to his fast falling speed and slow air speed. He lacks a meteor smash outside of a pseudo autolink meteor in his fastfall forward air, and his aerials either have long durations, high ending lag, or both. In such situations, because of his falling speed, Fox often has to use Fire Fox to return to the stage, which is risky and can backfire if the opponent survives the attempt.

Finally, Fox has terrible endurance. His light weight and high gravity allow many characters to KO him below 100%. Not only that, but his falling speed leaves him extremely susceptible to combos, though less vulnerable to juggles. Thus, he loses the main advantage that light-weights possess while suffering from their most glaring weakness. Some characters can easily rack up 50% on Fox off of one combo, a prominent example being Luigi, and he along with other characters can potentially bring Fox to KO percents with one or two combos. His aforementioned recovery issues only exacerbate Fox's frailty. Since Fox aims to rack up heavy damage but can struggle KOing, he is in even greater danger of losing his stock to opponents with heavy rage, and his endurance prevents him from making effective use of the mechanic.

With custom moves on, Fox does gain some benefits. Impact Blaster behaves similarly to how his Blaster did in SSB in that it fires slower, but deals more damage, knockback, and makes the opponents flinch similarly to Falco's Blaster. Charge Blaster fires a single, powerful laser that has slower start-up, but deals good damage, hitstun and knockback. Wolf Flash, originally belonging to Wolf, propels Fox at 35° instead of only horizontally like Fox Illusion does and it can also spike airborne opponents. Flying Fox does not go as far and deals no damage, but has almost no start-up and propels Fox faster, making it harder to gimp. Twisting Fox does not fly as far and propels Fox slower, but has less start-up, sucks opponents in, and is much more powerful, KOing as low as 60% off the top blast zone.

Overall, Fox is a very capable character due to his great mobility, fast attack speed, strong combo game, decent finishers and no crippling weaknesses aside from his poor endurance and linear recovery. He has attained excellent tournament representation, being used by high-level players such as Larry Lurr, and he has strong results at all levels of play.

Changes from Brawl

Fox received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from Brawl to SSB4, but was objectively nerfed in terms of frame data. Fox's neutral game is less effective, with increased lag on his aerials and a weakened camping game due to the removal of auto-canceling on his Blaster. This means Fox can no longer safely bait as many bad approaches from his opponents. Additionally, some of his finishers (such as up smash) have been weakened. He is lighter, and the changes to hitstun canceling makes him even easier to combo at low percentages and worsens his endurance. One of his most significant nerfs was to his Reflector, which can no longer allow him to stall in the air effectively due to its drastically increased ending lag, and can no longer semi-spike, making it much less effective overall.

However, Fox benefits from the general changes of SSB4. This most notably includes the removal of chain grabbing, which was a major reason for his mid-tier placement in Brawl, and early hitstun cancelling, which restores his ability to perform short combos with some of his more versatile attacks, such as his up tilt and neutral aerial. Additionally, while Fox's neutral game was nerfed, it still remains better than most due to his retained mix-ups and excellent foxtrot and short hop. Fox also benefits from a better jab cancel, which can set up KOs more reliably. His recovery has also improved, with Fox Illusion no longer leaving him helpless and Fire Fox traveling farther. Finally, his Reflector was given a slightly longer hitbox duration and a larger hitbox in update 1.1.0, making it more effective than it was initially for edgeguarding. As a result, he is considered to be much better relative to the cast than he was in Brawl, reflected by his much greater tournament success compared to Brawl with many more dedicated mains pushing his metagame.

Aesthetics

• Due to the new visual aesthetics in SSB4, Fox's overall color scheme is brighter in comparison to his appearance in Brawl. Additionally, his fur is of a higher visual quality than before, much like Donkey Kong's and Diddy Kong's, and his teeth are more pronounced than in previous installments.
• Fox's Blaster has a redesigned appearance and the lasers appear to have a lighter hue to them, being more magenta in color.

Attributes

• Fox dashes faster (2.08 → 2.184).
• Fox's air speed is faster (0.89 → 0.96).
• Fox falls faster (1.831 → 2.05), especially relative to the cast. He now has the highest falling speed.
• Fox's gravity has increased (0.175 → 0.19).
• Fox's midair jump is shorter.
• The changes to hitstun cancelling both help and hinder Fox. It allows him to perform combos much more effectively, but it also makes him easier to combo once given his decreased weight and increased falling speed.
• Fox is slightly lighter (80 → 79). While a decrease this minuscule is normally not detrimental to a character's survivability, his lighter weight, the changes to momentum canceling and Fox's faster falling speed and higher gravity altogether result in him actually being more vulnerable to combos despite his status as a lightweight and result in his endurance becoming much worse overall.
• The removal of chain grabbing is a significant benefit for Fox in his match-ups against other characters.
• The introduction of rage has harmed Fox more than helping him: while his most powerful attacks get stronger at higher percentages, it tones down his combo ability while still making him more vulnerable to KO's.
• The loss of meteor canceling seems to have crippled Fox the most out of the entire cast. This is due to his position of being the game's fastest faller, which when combined with his light weight, makes meteor smashes far more dangerous against him than any other character, as his falling speed makes it almost impossible to recover even at low to medium percentages.

Ground attacks

• Neutral infinite now has a finisher, a mid-level roundhouse kick.
• Up tilt, down tilt, and dash attack deal less damage: 10%/8% (up), 9%/7% (down), 7%/5% (dash) → 9%/6%, 8%/6%, 6%/4%.
• Forward smash deals 1% less damage (15% → 14%).
• Forward smash's knockback increased (10 base/96 growth → 20/98).
• Up smash deals less damage (17% → 16%), has slightly decreased knockback growth (96 → 94), slightly less reach, and more ending lag. (IASA frame 44 → 56).
• Down smash has less knockback (50 (base)/65 (growth) → 30/75), making it weaker overall.
• Down smash's charging animation changed.

Aerial attacks

• Neutral, forward and down aerials have increased landing lag (9 frames → 11 (neutral), 18 frames → 27 (forward), 12 frames → 25 (down)).
• Forward aerial deals drastically less damage (23% → 7%). Forward aerial gives a shorter "hover" effect than in Brawl. It has slightly increased start-up (6 → 7) and can no longer autocancel in a short-hop.
• Forward aerial is harder to SDI out of and is easier to combo into. It can now send opponents at the autolink angle, which when combined with fast falling in the middle of the attack can lead into a footstool jump, potentially gimping characters with poor vertical recoveries such as Little Mac and Donkey Kong.
• Back aerial now deals fixed damage (9%/15% → 13%) with increased knockback growth (85 → 88). This makes the move much more consistent in utility by removing its sourspot, though at the cost of a more powerful hitbox.
• Down aerial's last hit no longer weakly meteor smashes with low set knockback, removing its utility against characters with poor vertical recoveries. It also deals less damage (21% → 11%).
• Down aerial has a new landing hitbox that weakly sends opponents vertically in the air. It has high hitlag makes it benefit from frame cancelling, allowing it to link into his dash attack or up smash.

Throws/other attacks

• The changes to hitstun canceling enables down throw to function better as a combo starter at low percentages.
• Down throw deals 2% less damage (9% → 7%).

Special moves

• In a similar vein to Falco, Blaster no longer auto-cancels upon landing and can only be fired twice from a short hop, weakening its utility.
• Fox Illusion no longer leaves Fox helpless after the move is performed in the air, though it can still only be used once in the air. Fox also no longer dashes over the edge when using it on the ground. It also has decreased landing lag when used from a short hop.
• Fox Illusion deals less damage (4% → 3%), is one frame slower (frame 20 → 21) and can no longer be shortened, removing its mix-up potential. Aerial Fox Illusion has much less horizontal momentum at the end of the dash.
• Fire Fox travels a greater distance, as it covers nearly as much distance as it did in the NTSC version of Melee.
• Reflector deals 3% less damage (5% → 2%), has increased cooldown, and the removal of shine spikes weakens it edge-guarding ability.
• Reflector now protects Fox from all types of explosives when active, with the exception of sudden death Bob-ombs, which results in the total nullification of any damage that could have been taken.
• Landmaster is weaker and its duration decreased.
• Landmaster can now fire its cannon while airborne.
• Landmaster is now light blue instead of dark blue.

Update history

Fox has been slightly buffed overall in game updates. His jab cancel was weakened and his jab lock was completely removed, though his Blaster and Reflector were improved. Fox also does not seem to be notably affected by the changes to the shield mechanics brought about by updates 1.1.0 and 1.1.1.

1.0.6

• Neutral infinite has less visual whiffs.

1.1.0

• Neutral attack's first and second hitbox properties had their knockback and ending lag increased. This removes Fox's jab lock and weakens his jab cancel.
• Neutral infinite received a new hitbox that deals 0.4% and appears on frame 3. This makes its hits connect together better.
• Reflector's hitbox duration increased: 1 frame → 2.
• Reflector's hitbox size and horizontal displacement increased.
• All variations of Blaster had their ending lag decreased by 3 frames.

1.1.1

• Down throw's Blaster shots deal 0.5% less damage: 2% → 1.5%. However, its total damage output is unchanged due to Fox now firing one more shot.

1.1.4

• Hard tripping now grants five frames of invincibility.

Moveset

		Name	Damage	Description
Neutral attack			2%	Two alternating jabs followed by a flurry of kicks, ending with a mid-level roundhouse kick.
			1%
			0.7% (loop), 2% (final hit)
Forward tilt	↗		8%	A roundhouse kick. Can be angled up or down, but has below average knockback.
	→		6%
	↘		7%
Up tilt			9% (clean), 6% (late)	A scorpion kick. Excellent for follow-ups, such as back aerial, forward aerial, or up aerial. It comes out extremely fast, being frame 3, making it a good surprise attack for foes approaching from behind. Combined, it's extremely fast start up and low reaching start up hitbox means it can be used as an easy "two frame" ledge snap punish, which of course can be followed up with.
Down tilt			8% (close), 7%, 6% (far)	Swipes at the opponent with his tail. Slightly less range than the animation would indicate.
Dash attack			6% (clean), 4% (late)	A flying kick.
Forward smash			14%	An outward crescent kick. It has good range since Fox somersaults forward. Has possibly the lowest base knockback in the game for a forward smash, but decent knockback growth.
Up smash		Flip Kick	16% (clean), 11% (late)	A backflip kick. It loses strength the farther it is into the animation. The clean hit has the slash effect. Hits on frame 8 and has very high power, making it Fox's most potent finisher. However, it has high ending lag (45 frames).
Down smash			14% (feet), 12% (legs)	A split kick. Very fast start-up, hits on both sides and launches opponents at a horizontal angle.
Neutral aerial			9% (clean), 6% (late)	A flying kick. Due to being a sex kick, it loses power the longer it is out. However, the late hit can be useful for setting up a slide smash.
Forward aerial			2% (hit 1), 1% (hit 2), 0.6% (hit 3), 0.8% (hit 4), 3% (last hit)	Five swiveling roundhouse kicks performed in quick succession. This move makes Fox "hover" until the move ends if used right after a jump. Good for building up damage, as opponents will be trapped within the flurry of kicks for the duration of the attack. Suffers from moderate landing lag, but auto-cancels from a full hop. A fast-falled first three kicks combined with a footstool is capable of gimping opponents offstage.
Back aerial			13%	A back kick. Has a very generous auto-cancel window, to where it can be used at the peak of a short hop and still auto-cancel. A useful edge-guarding attack, and deadly at the sides of the stage due to its good knockback and angle, though not to the extent of Falco's.
Up aerial			5% (hit 1), 11% (last hit)	A somersault kick. Auto-cancels out of a short hop. Fox's strongest aerial, as it deals above average knockback that enables it to KO near the upper blast line starting at 110%.
Down aerial			1.4% (hits 1-5), 3% (last hit), 1% (landing hit)	A corkscrew stomp that hits multiple times in quick succession. Auto-cancels from a full hop, making it useful for reading jumps. The last hit deals low knockback. The landing hit launches opponents away and at high percentages, a running up smash can be used as an immediate follow-up.
Grab			—
Pummel			1.2%	Knee strikes the opponent. Fast, but weak.
Forward throw			4% (hit 1), 3% (throw)	Releases the opponent and quickly performs a cross, launching them forward. Can lead into a dash attack or up smash at low to high percentages if the opponent does not DI away or tech. It is also Fox's strongest throw, but it does not start KOing until extremely high percentages.
Back throw			2% (throw), 2% (shots)	Throws the opponent backward and shoots them with three rapid shots from his Blaster.
Up throw			2% (throw), 2% (shots)	Throws the opponent upward and shoots them with three rapid shots from his Blaster. Can occasionally be followed up into an up aerial if the opponent's reaction is read properly.
Down throw			1.5% (shots), 1% (throw)	Forces the opponent onto the ground and fires four rapid, point-blank shots at them with his Blaster. A semi-reliable combo starter into forward aerial, back aerial, or up aerial, depending on DI.
Forward roll Back roll Spot dodge Air dodge		—	—
Techs		—	—
Floor attack (front) Floor getups (front)			7%	Does a kick in front and in back.
Floor attack (back) Floor getups (back)			7%	Punches forward and kicks backward.
Floor attack (trip) Floor getups (trip)			5%	Spins around, hitting opponents with his tail.
Edge attack Edge getups			7%	A dropkick.
Neutral special	Default	Blaster	1.4% (far), 2%, or 3% (close)	Takes his Blaster out of its holster and fires at the opponent. The Blaster's lasers are fired rapidly, but do not make the opponent flinch and they lose power the farther they travel.
	Custom 1	Impact Blaster	2% (far), 3%, 4% or 4.3% (close)	The Blaster fires slower lasers that deal more damage and knock opponents back, making it function similarly to Fox's Blaster in Super Smash Bros.
	Custom 2	Charge Blaster	10.5%	Fires a single, powerful laser. Has a slower start-up time, but has considerable hitstun and good knockback. Less start-up time if used while airborne.
Side special	Default	Fox Illusion	3%	Dashes forward at a blindingly fast speed, leaving behind afterimages. Fox will launch opponents at an upwards angle on contact.
	Custom 1	Fox Burst	13%	Fox cannot hit opponents with the dash itself, but it will generate a large explosion wherever he stops. It can also be used to stall in midair.
	Custom 2	Wolf Flash	3% (dash), 9% (end of the move), 10% (sweetspot hitting airborne opponents)	Dashes at an upwards angle, meteor smashing opponents at a downward angle if it hits with the sweetspot at the move's end. It was Wolf's side special move in Brawl.
Up special	Default	Fire Fox	2% (charging hits 1-7), 14% (clean dash), 8% (late dash)	Cloaks himself in fire and suddenly fires himself in one of many directions, depending on what direction is held.
	Custom 1	Flying Fox	0%	Faster and travels a shorter distance, but deals no damage.
	Custom 2	Twisting Fox	1% (charging hits 1-3), 1.2% (hits 1-7), 2% (last hit)	Spins rapidly, dragging opponents in as he fires himself off and dealing rapid damage, similarly to Fire Wolf. Can KO as low as 60% in the air. Has a very slight decrease in distance to compensate.
Down special	Default	Reflector	2% (Reflector), 1.4x (reflection)	Activates a Reflector around himself. All projectiles are deflected and do more damage than they normally would. The Reflector damages nearby foes upon activation.
	Custom 1	Big Reflector	1.2x (reflection)	A larger Reflector that has a weaker reflection multiplier, but has a slightly larger reflecting hitbox. It pushes back enemies at close range instead of damaging them from the front, and pulls enemies in from the back.
	Custom 2	Amplifying Reflector	2.1x (reflection)	Has a longer start-up time, but a much stronger reflection multiplier. It cannot deal damage or pushback at close range and does not stall Fox in midair.
Final Smash		Landmaster	5% (activation), 5-17% (ram), 13% (turning around), 11% (roll), 12 (landing) 8% (cannon while firing), 15% (cannon projectile)	Calls in a Landmaster. While piloting it, Fox can drive it around and hover by holding down the jump button. The Landmaster also has many methods of attacking, such as firing the laser turret and running over foes. Fox's version lasts longer than Falco's, but has a lower air speed.

This victory theme is based upon the main theme of Star Fox 64, most specifically the title theme. It is also reminiscent of the music that would play when a mission was completed or accomplished.

• Poses with his Blaster, saying "Mission complete!" In the Japanese release, he says "作戦完了！" (Operation complete!)
• Spins his Blaster and re-holsters it, saying "This is Fox. Returning to base." Japanese: こちらフォックス、これより帰還する。 (This is Fox, returning feedback here.)
  • If Falco is present after a match, he might say "Better luck next time, Falco." Or in Japanese: まだまだだな、ファルコ (Not just yet, Falco.)
• Crosses his arms, looks upward, and raises his tail. It is his "character chosen" animation and taunt in Super Smash Bros.

Trophies

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.

Leader of the Star Fox team, Fox is a skilled pilot with a strong sense of justice. In this game, he's quick on his feet and can use his speed to toy with opponents, attacking relentlessly and giving them no room to breathe. Even if they try to attack him from afar with projectiles, his Reflector move just sends them flying right back!

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 KOing 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.

The Flip Kick that Fox does for his upward smash can really send foes flying. It's well worth pulling out this attack in combos against airborne opponents. Try following it up with his red-hot Fire Fox special to hammer them repeatedly. The fact that you an fly in any direction with this move is a real bonus too!

Landmaster (Fox)

Originally designed for exploration, the Landmaster in Fox's Final Smash has been converted into an ultra-high-performance, anti-air, rolling combat vehicle. When Fox hops aboard, he can drive or roll into foes and blast them with cannon fire. It can even fire in midair. And best of all, Fox is safe from damage inside this metal beast!

Trivia

• Fox has three English voice actors in both versions of Super Smash Bros. 4. He has Mike West for his battle voice and the Orbital Gate Assault Smash taunts, Jim Walker for the Lylat Cruise Smash taunts, and Steve Malpass for the Corneria Smash taunts.
• Super Smash Bros. 4 is the only Smash Bros. game where Fox is not holding his Blaster in his official art.
• Fox is the only character in SSB4 whose normal falling speed is higher than 2, at 2.05.
  • This is also the first iteration where Fox has the fastest falling speed out of all characters in the game.
