Fox (SSB4): Difference between revisions
Undid edit by EdgarTadeo: It's not the buffs. His frame data is actually kinda bad. Fox's tournament success is due to the fact people can't punish him hard. I expect said to success to decline sooner or later.

Fox's neutral game is less effective overall, with increased lag on his aerials and less effective laser camping due to the removal of autocanceling on his [[Blaster]]. This means Fox can no longer safely bait bad approaches from his opponents. Additionally, some of his finishers (such as up smash and back aerial) have been weakened, although other finishers previously considered situational (such as forward smash) have been strengthened. Fox also benefits from a better [[jab cancel]], which can set up KOs more reliably. His recovery has also improved, with [[Fox Illusion]] no longer leaving him [[helpless]] and [[Fire Fox]] traveling farther. His [[Reflector]] can no longer allow him to stall in the air effectively due to its ending lag and has a worse launch angle, making it completely ineffective for edgeguarding. | ||
However, Fox benefits from the general changes of ''Smash 4'', most notably from the removal of chaingrabbing, which was a prime reason for his mid tier placement in ''Brawl''. Additionally, while Fox's neutral game was nerfed, it still remains better than most due to the universal nerf in mobility options. As a result, he is considered to be better relative to the cast than in ''Brawl''. | However, Fox benefits from the general changes of ''Smash 4'', most notably from the removal of chaingrabbing, which was a prime reason for his mid tier placement in ''Brawl''.
