With custom moves on, Fox does gain some benefit. Impact Blaster acts similar to his Blaster in ''Smash 64''. It fires slower, but does more damage, knockback and makes the opponents flinch similar to Falco's {{b|Blaster|Falco}}. Charge Blaster fires a single, powerful laser that has slower startup, but deals good damage, hitstun and knockback. Wolf Flash originally belonging to {{SSBB|Wolf}}, goes at 35 degree angle instead of straight horizontal and can spike airborne opponents. Flying Fox has less start-up and flies faster, but doesn't go as far. Twisting Fox has more start-up and doesn't fly as far, but is much powerful and can KO as low as 60% off the top blast zone. Big Reflector, while not doing any damage upon activation and slightly decreased power on reflected projectiles, but as the name implies, is much bigger, giving it a larger reflection hitbox and in close range, pushes opponents away in they are in front of Fox, giving him some space and possibly [[gimp]]. | With custom moves on, Fox does gain some benefit.

However, Fox has his flaws. Arguably, his biggest weakness is his frailty. While he has already very easy to KO in ''Brawl'', his faster falling speed combined with his lighter weight makes his endurance one of the worst in the game, with many attacks being able to KO him very easily under 100%. His very fast falling speed also makes him an easy combo target, and when combined with his light weight, some characters can potentially combo Fox to KOing percents from only a single, effective combo. His recovery, while long, is one of the most predictable in the game. When combined with his very fast falling speed and rather poor air speed, this gives Fox a very hard time against competent edge-guarders. Additionally, while he has some good finishers, they are all punishable when missed. Despite these, Fox's strengths generally overpower his weaknesses, and as such as he has | However, Fox has his flaws. Arguably, his biggest weakness is his frailty.
