Fox fits in with the "quick and weak" archetype, with very fast grounded mobility and above average frame data. Fox is one of the best zoners in the game (with zoning having been significantly nerfed) despite mainly playing aggressively: his [[Blaster]] can quickly tack on damage from a distance which puts characters who cannot deal with zoning such as {{SSB4|King Dedede}} and {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}. His [[Reflector]] also helps him deal with careless zoners by reflecting projectiles back at the sender with even greater speed and power. His recovery is also very long distanced: he has [[Fox Illusion]] for a quick horizontal recovery that does not leave him helpless, and [[Fire Fox]] for a long recovery that can be angled in one of eight directions. He additionally has some good KO moves. His up smash is still powerful and very fast giving him a reliable kill option on stage. His up air have decent knockback, giving him kill options in the air. Additionally, some of his weaker finishers such as forward smash were buffed in power, making them more viable KO options even though his up smash and up air outshine them. | Fox fits in with the "quick and weak" archetype, with very fast grounded mobility and above average frame data.

However, Fox has his flaws. Arguably his biggest weakness is his frailty. While he has was also 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 able to KO him very easily under 100%. His very fast falling speed makes him combo food for other characters, and when combined with his lightweight, some characters can potentially combo Fox to kill percent with one good combo. His recovery, while long, is one of the most predictable in the game, which when combined with his very fast falling speed and rather poor air speed gives Fox a very hard time against competent edgeguarders. Additionally, while he has some good finishers, they are all punishable when missed. Despite these, Fox's strengths generally overpower his cons, and as such as he has above average tournament representation, with above average results. | However, Fox has his flaws.
