Fox (フォックス Fokkusu) was one of the characters confirmed to return as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 during the E3 2013 trailers. He appears to have fur visuals of higher quality than before, similar to Donkey Kong. Also, his teeth appear to be more pronounced than in previous installments. Fox appears to have a new Japanese voice actor [1], while in English, he's voiced by his Star Fox 64 voice actor, Mike West [2].

Changes from Brawl

• Fox now has a finishing kick to his neutral combo of increased power.
• Fox Illusion no longer leaves Fox helpless after the move is performed in the air.
• Fire Fox travels a greater distance, now nearly as much as it does in Melee (NTSC).
• Back throw deals slightly more damage.
• Dash attack comes out slightly faster, and appears to have consistent damage throughout.
  • However, it deals less damage.
• Fox is slightly lighter than in Brawl.
• All of his aerial attacks and mid-air Blaster have greater landing lag.
• Forward air no longer gives the "hover" effect it did in Brawl. It also deals drastically less damage, dealing around a third of the damage it dealt previously, overall weakening its utility.
• Down throw deals 1% less damage.
• Landmaster is less powerful.
  • It is now light blue instead of dark blue.
• Fox's Blaster has a redesigned appearance, and its lasers appear to have a lighter hue to them, being more pink in color.
• Fox has a new up tilt. He kicks his legs upwards in a similar fashion to his up smash.
• Some of his ground attacks produce a purplish streak.
• Up smash is weakened and has a smaller hitbox.

• The following moves are visually unchanged:
  • Forward tilt
  • Dash attack
  • Forward smash
  • Up smash
  • Down smash
  • Up aerial
  • Down aerial
  • Neutral aerial
  • Pummel

Final Smash

• Landmaster: Fox's final smash from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He will shout "Landmaster!" while performing his initial jump. He shares this with Falco.

Taunts

• Fox charges fire and says "Here I come!". This taunt can be used for faking Fox's Up Special.
• Like in Melee, Fox backs up, bends down a bit, and says "Come on!", although it seems faster.
• Fox throws his blaster around himself, watches it flip, and catches it.

On-Screen Appearance

Ejects from an Arwing.

Victory Fanfare

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