Fox, true to being on | Fox, true to being on 2nd of the tier list, is an extremely efficient fighter, with fast attacks, unparalleled comboing and damaging ability, and numerous options to approach the opponent. His aerial game is almost unsurpassed when [[SHFFL]]'d, and his [[shine]] combos are extremely effective. He can KO effectively on all four sides of the screen, and his high falling speed makes him resilient to vertical KOs. Despite being top tier, Fox is not flawless. He has an extremely high learning curve, requiring fast reflexes to properly use his shine and SHFFL combos. Additionally, his high falling speed makes him very easy to chain grab, he suffers from a poor recovery due to his low air speed and high falling speed, and his light weight makes him vulnerable to KOs. Regardless, his pros outshine his cons, and Fox is notable for being one of only four characters in the series (the other three being {{SSB|Pikachu}} in ''Smash 64'', {{SSBM|Falco}} in ''Melee'', and {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} in ''Brawl'') to have no disadvantageous matchups, with only three ({{SSBM|Falco}}, {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Samus}}) being considered even. | ||
