Template:Nihongo was confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl at Nintendo World 2006. He keeps all of his previous moves from SSBM.

When he was revealed in the Nintendo World 2006 trailer, he was shown with his blaster in his hand at all times, leading to much speculation over how his attacks might change in Brawl. However, his gun is shown in its holster in all subsequent screenshots shown at the Smash Bros. DOJO!!. Fox is currently a E Tier character, a fairly large downgrade from his position in the most recent Melee tier list (first to twentyfourth), although not as large as Captain Falcon's (sixth to dead last). Fox's average matchups and lack of a proper approach as well as bad recovery and edgeguarding cost him dearly, however his tourney rankings in Japan are impressive.

Fox is Mario's friend and of corse Mikayla's friend too. His last name is "McCloud." He's a leader of his team called "Star Fox." His girlfriend is Buddha. He really got a crush on her...well, maybe a little though.

Role in The Subspace Emissary

An Arwing is seen engaging the battleship Halberd, but is soon struck and begins to fall toward it. This causes Kirby and Zelda/Peach to be blown overboard in its wake.

It is later shown that the Arwing crash-landed at the edge of a jungle, near a lake. Diddy Kong discovers the Arwing, but Rayquaza rises from the lake and territorially attacks the Arwing with an Energy Ball setting it aflame. As Diddy is snatched up by the provoked Pokémon, Fox is ejected from the cockpit of the burning Arwing and proceeds to effortlessly rescue Diddy from the clutches of the serpentine Pokémon using his Fox Illusion and Reflector. After the two defeat the giant Pokémon, Fox attempts to leave, but is dragged back by Diddy and follows him deeper into the jungle. Soon, they fight a Shadowbug clone of Bowser and defeat it. Suddenly, the real Bowser fires his Dark Cannon at them, barely dodging the shot. Although Diddy is eager to fight Bowser, Fox knows that they can't survive against his Dark Cannon, so he grabs Diddy and jumps off a cliff.

After recovering from the fall and quickly making their way through The Swamp, they are ambushed by Bowser again, who succeeds in turning Diddy into a trophy. Bowser then attempts to turn Fox into a trophy, but he manages to dodge the shot, so Bowser sends some Shadowbugs to clone Diddy's trophy, outnumbering Fox. Falco suddenly appears out of nowhere in his Arwing and saves Fox from Bowser by destroying his Dark Cannon, forcing Bowser to escape. The Diddy clone begins to absorb more Shadowbugs, becoming gigantic as a result. Fox uses the opportunity to revive the real Diddy, and the three fight the clone. After Falco unwillingly joined the group, they find a ship carrying Donkey Kong's trophy to a floating island. The Great Fox suddenly appears, and as Falco and Diddy attempt to free DK, Fox plans to take down the Halberd with the Great Fox.

The Great Fox duels with the Halberd, but it ends up getting carried away by it, gets crashed into a mountain, and flies away in smoke. Later on, as Peach and Sheik are making their escape after Snake

Fox in the SSE

frees them, Fox is seen attacking the Halberd again in his Arwing. During the fire-fight, some of the Arwing's blasters hit dangerously close to Peach. Sheik does a very high range teleport on top of the Arwing and breaks open the cockpit. Both Sheik and Fox fall out of the Arwing and on the Halberd deck. They start running towards each other at high speeds and just before they break into a fight, Peach randomly offers them a cup of tea. Although Fox is shocked by this, when Sheik accepts hers, he accepts his as well. Just as they do, a group of Shadowbug Mr. Game & Watches fall from the Halberd's cockpit and form into Duon. The three are joined by Lucario and Snake (who knocked them down there in the first place), as well as Falco who arrives on another Arwing, and defeat the monster. Duon leaves behind the real Mr. Game & Watch's trophy as it disappears. Fox prepares to blast the trophy, but Peach approaches it and revives Mr. Game & Watch. Fox joins the rest of the heroes in the assault on the Subspace Gunship and the attack on Tabuu although he would be one of the many heroes to be transformed into trophies by Tabuu. However, like the other heroes, his trophy could be found and be revived in Subspace.

Trivia

  • Fox is among one of the most popular characters used for Target Smash!! (particularly for Challenges that requires one to do under the time limit) mainly due to him having the fastest falling speed and a spammable projectile in order to quickly destroy targets, while consequently hinder easy recovery due to the falling speed.
  • Fox holds the world record for Co-Op Target Smash!! Level 3 with Pikachu (completed in 4.58 seconds).
  • Fox was the first fighter to appear on the DOJO!!! that did not appear on the E3 2006 video.
  • Fox was first revealed to return to Brawl in the Nintendo World 2006 Trailer. Originally, he was shown to carry the Blaster in his right hand at all times, even when he wasn't using it. This was changed in the final version of the game, where it is once again holstered when Fox is not using it.
  • Fox clocks in at position number 8 on Japan's tier list.
  • Despite being the main character of his series, Fox is the lowest ranked character on the tier list out of all the Star Fox characters.
