Fox ranks 4th on the [[tier list]], mainly due to his very quick movement speed and versatile [[combo]] ability. He has the second fastest [[dashing]] and [[falling speed]]s in the game, along with the fastest [[walking]] speed, and the third fastest [[air speed]], allowing him to get around very quickly, which not only helps with evading opponents, but also to get around during combos. His combo moves typically include his {{mvsub|Fox|SSB|up tilt}}, {{mvsub|Fox|SSB|down tilt}}, {{mvsub|Fox|SSB|down aerial}}, the first hit of his [[neutral attack]], etc. He is able to rack up damage in a variety of ways such as up tilt chains and repeated down aerial to down tilt chains. Fox is known for his {{b|Blaster|Fox}}, among the best [[projectile]]s in the game for numerous reasons - its [[hitstun]] allows Fox to effortlessly counter opponent [[approach]]es, while it also helps him approach. The lag of the move can also be avoided using the techniques [[short hop laser]] and [[ledgehopped double laser]]. While the majority of Fox's moves are low power, combo-orientated moves, he does have high power attacks such as his {{mvsub|Fox|SSB|up smash}} and {{mvsub|Fox|SSB|up aerial}}. Fox additionally has multiple quick, low power aerials which can easily combo offstage and reliably [[edgeguard]] opponents, along with an effective [[semi-spike]] in his {{mvsub|Fox|SSB|down smash}} and a [[set knockback]] semi-spike in his {{mvsub|Fox|SSB|down special|alt=shine}}, notable for the [[shine spike]] technique. | Fox ranks 4th on the [[tier list]], mainly due to his very quick movement speed and versatile [[combo]] ability.

However, Fox does have some weaknesses. He has an over-reliance on his up smash and up aerial for onstage KOs, and his only reliable way to finish off the opponent outside those moves is edgeguarding. His other onstage moves are either generally lacking in power, predictable, inferior to up smash and up aerial, or all of the above. Fox is additionally a vulnerable character to combos - despite his moderate [[weight]] and size, his fast falling speed makes him vulnerable to characters such as {{SSB|Pikachu}} and {{SSB|Kirby}}, who can easily get Fox offstage, where his predictable and linear [[recovery]], along with his fast falling speed, puts him in a bad position offstage. With the banning of [[Hyrule Castle]], Fox has slightly dropped in the most recent tier list, since it is more difficult to camp on {{SSB|Dream Land}}, the only legal stage, due to its smaller size. Nevertheless, Fox remains a high tiered character in competitive play with great matchups, as well as strong tournament representation and results. He also ranks slightly higher in the Japanese tier list at 3rd | However, Fox does have some weaknesses.
