Possibly because of his top tier status in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' (7th out of 55th tied with Sonic), Fox has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in his transition to ''Ultimate'', but was nerfed overall. His moveset has been revamped in several ways that, while leaving his core playstyle relatively unchanged, alter the way he has to execute said palystyle, and the revamped engine further compounds this, causing him to be a more polarized character.

Fox's buffs primarily come from his moveset's improved versatility. [[Blaster]]'s shots travel farther and the move has less endlag, granting him a far better camping tool. His primary KO options in his [[forward smash|forward]] and [[up smash]], as well as [[Fire Fox]], now have increased knockback, which has overall further improved his KO power. Down tilt had its knockback and angles altered, whereas dash attack has less ending lag, making both much more viable combo starters overall. In addition, [[Reflector]]'s startup has been cut in half and grants him [[intangibility]] (reminiscent of his ''Melee'' incarnation), allowing him to escape combos easier and edgeguard more safely.
