Fox is ranked 5th out of 82 on the [[tier list]] placing him in S tier. This is a slight improvement from his placement in ''Smash 4'' where he was ranked 7th/8th out of 54 and tied with {{SSB4|Sonic}}. Fox retains many of his strengths from the previous game including his phenomenal movement options, stellar frame data, and high [[damage]] output resulting in him having one of the best [[Neutral game|neutrals]] and advantage states in the entire game. Fox also has many ways to kill reliably thanks to his powerful and quick [[Smash attack|smash attacks]] and his notoriously safe [[Back aerial|back aerial]] at [[Ledge|ledge]] granting Fox the ability to overwhelm his opponents easily. Fox's [[combo]] and [[juggling]] game also greatly benefits from universal changes made in the transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate'', such as the game's increased speed, reduction to [[landing lag]], and [[airdodging]] nerfs.

However, Fox retains his flaws from Smash 4 such as his linear [[Recovery|recovery]], fast [[Falling speed|falling speed]], and considerably light [[Weight|weight]]. Though Fox has several recovery options that cover a great distance, their linearity makes it easy for Fox to be [[Edgeguarding|edgeguarded]] continuously if the player isn't careful. Fox is also one of the lightest characters in the game, giving him poor endurance compared to the rest of the cast. In addition, Fox has the fastest falling speed and [[gravity]] out of anyone in the roster, making him susceptible to combos and — when combined with his very low weight, potentially early KOs. Finally, Fox received notable nerfs to his moveset that worsened his ability to set up [[Kill confirm|kill confirms]], such as the changes made to his [[Tilt attack|tilts]] and [[Throw|throws]].

Despite the nerfs, Fox is still a top tier character with wide representation in [[Competitive play|competitive play]], with players such as {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} and {{Sm|Paseriman}} obtaining incredible results with the character.
Despite these nerfs, Fox is considered to be just as good if not better than his ''Smash 4'' iteration, and remains a top tier character with wide representation in [[Competitive play|competitive play]], with players such as {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} and {{Sm|Paseriman}} obtaining incredible results with the character.
