Overview

Fox McCloud is a quick but well rounded rushdown character that excels at pressuring the opponent in shield and at ledge. Fox has excellent mobility which allows him to move around the stage both on the ground and in the air very effectively. He also has fast aerials, and coupled with his high jump height and fast fall speed, he can use them to extend his combos or pressure opponents respectively. Fox is also a character that relies on s, as many of his confirms, especially into his powerful Up Smash require a read or a reaction on the opponents tech option.

Fox does have his weaknesses however, one of which being his extremely light weight. Fox is the 5th lightest character in the game, despite having a fast fall speed. This makes him somewhat of a glass cannon, being able to use his fast moves and mobility to pressure and condition the opponent, but if Fox makes a mistake he can potentially lose a stock earlier than most fighters. Fox also has a somewhat flawed recovery. While not bad in terms of its travel distance, his up special Fire Fox and side special Fox Illusion are relatively easy to edgegaurd.

If outmaneuvering your opponent with blinding speed is something you enjoy, Fox is the character for you.

Summary

Fox is a fast, well rounded rushdown character with strong tech-chasing and offensive pressure.
Pros	Cons
Flying Fox: His fast falling speed combined with fast ground movement means that Fox moves around the stage quickly, and can easily position himself for whiff punishes. Great Frame Data: Fox's slowest grounded move is F-Smash at Frame 13, while a lot of his Aerials can be autocancelled from a FH. Good Combo Game: A lot of Fox's moves combo into each other easily. While his combos aren't very long, they make up for it in damage. Tech Chasing Extraordinaire: Fox's grounded speed and fast smash attacks make him great at tech chasing. The better the player's reactions the deadlier his punish game is Well Rounded: Fox's special moves useful for many situations. Shine acts as a fast reflector for Fox to deal with projectiles, and Blaster is a projectile that helps force approaches and unstale his other moves. This means that there's rarely a match-up where he is at a significant disadvantage. Neutral Game: All of the above contribute to the common saying that "you choose to lose the neutral as Fox". In other words, he has quite possibly the single best neutral in the entire game.	Can Struggle to Kill: While not as bad as other characters like Sheik, Fox does rely heavily on setups to lead into his strong knockback moves. He will need to mix up his attacks, or risk becoming predictable. Featherweight: Being the 5th lightest character in the game, if Fox gets hit by a highly damaging move, he's probably going to lose a stock. Flawed Recovery: Fox's recovery options are predictable and easy to edgeguard. Fox Illusion(Side-B) cannot be angled and is easily interceptable. While Fire Fox(Up-B) covers good distance, it's slow startup and linear pattern means that Fox is a sitting duck to be spiked offstage. With Fox's fast fall speed, messing up an airdodge usually means death off stage.
