As an Assist Trophy

Gray Fox makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an unlockable Assist Trophy in his Cyborg Ninja form. He is unlocked as soon as the player unlocks Solid Snake. His attack involves moving quickly around the stage and swinging his sword, with his swings capable of reflecting projectile attacks. If he falls off a stage, he can come back from the top. He can also teleport from anywhere in the stage and come back from the top. His skill, according to DOJO!, is so great, that it makes a few smashers want him as a playable character.

Origin

Gray Fox as he appeared in Metal Gear Solid.

While Gray Fox as a character first appeared in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Gray Fox in his Cyborg Ninja form first appeared in Metal Gear Solid. In Metal Gear Solid, Gray Fox's main weapon is his sword, which he uses to slice through the Genome Solders and weaken Metal Gear REX. When Snake and Gray Fox battle each other, Gray Fox tries to use his sword at first, but later on switches to hand-to-hand combat. If Snake tries using any guns against him, he will use his sword to block the bullets. In Brawl, Gray Fox uses his sword against his opponents. Gray Fox's projectile-reflecting ability is a reference to his hand-to-hand combat with Snake in Metal Gear Solid.

In Brawl, he will call out "Make me feel alive again!" or "You can't defeat me with a weapon like that." or "Hand-to-hand. It is the basis of all combat." These are actual lines from Metal Gear Solid. He says different things when fighting Snake. Whenever Gray Fox is summoned while Snake is on the battlefield (regardless of whether Snake or the opponent summons him), he says "Like old times, Snake..." or "That's it! I've been waiting for this pain."
