Lastly, the changes to [[perfect shield]]ing both benefit and hinder Fox. He arguably benefits from the revamped perfect shield the most, because of possessing very quick moves like up tilt or up smash, while perfect shield is ineffective against quick multi-hitting attacks like his down aerial. In contrast, it also it easier to retaliate against otherwise hard to punish moves, like his neutral aerial, forcing Fox to use his staple landing moves less predictably.

Overall, Fox is a more polarized glass cannon; most of his tremendous strengths and advantages remain, and some of his moves have increased utility, but his key weaknesses are also significantly more exploitable, and he has an even harder time getting out of disadvantage; all these changes result in Fox's moveset having many more and versatile options, but also mean he now has to play more carefully in order to gain or retain the advantage, and the revamped mechanics compound both points. Like in ''SSB4'', Fox continues to have a high amount of representation in the competitive scene, having achieved noteworthy results thanks to the efforts of notable players including {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, {{Sm|Lui$}}, {{Sm|ZD}}, and {{Sm|Eon}}. Because of this, his competitive reception has remained positive, as many players consider him as a high or top tier character, just like in ''SSB4''. As a result, Fox is one of the few top tier veterans alongside {{SSBU|Mario}} and {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}} to keep consistently placing well in ''Ultimate''.
