He has taken sets from Tweek, Dabuz, Nairo, Cosmos, Mr.R, VoiD, komorikiri, and Larry Lurr.

Playstyle

Light is known for his aggressive and quick playstyle. His knowledge and ability to tech chase and call out his opponent's options are effective in Fox's neutral. When Light starts off a combo, he would pull off some of Fox's high damaging combo moves in order to get his opponent to the specific kill confirm of neutral air into up smash if he reads a missed tech or vice versa. Light is also known to mix up Fox's recovery well, despite him having a linear recovery and easily exploited. For example, he uses Fox's reflector to stall his momentum in the air and uses Fire Fox in unique angles so he can potentially get trades with his opponent trying to edgeguard him.

When Light is in disadvantage, he sometimes tries to fish for neutral airs or up smashes because those are Fox's best tools. In addition, Light can play too carefully sometimes because he is aware of how Fox is the fifth lightest character in the game and if he makes one mistake, it would be difficult for him to come back and potentially lose a stock.
