Fox (フォックス, Fox) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Mike West, Fox's voice actor from Star Fox 64 and Star Fox Zero, reprises his role with new voice clips.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

• While Fox retains some design elements from SSB4, he now wears his flight suit and headset from Star Fox Zero. The proportions in his head have been slightly altered, and his fur is more pronounced. Fox now also has visible whiskers.
• Fox now snarls when performing one of his idle animations.

Ground attacks

• Fox's neutral attack is slightly re-animated, with him standing more upright rather than lunging forward.
• Down tilt has more ending lag.
• Sourspotted down tilt sends opponents at a better angle for combos.
• Dash attack has less follow up potential
• Up smash's ending animation has been modified: Fox now does a three point landing after doing his up smash.
• Up smash has significantly lower knockback.

Aerial attacks

• All of Fox's aerials have significantly lower landing lag: neutral (11 frames → 7), forward (27 frames → 18), back (15 frames → 9), up (22 frames → 13), & down (25 → 17).
• Forward aerial has a greater hover effect, aiding Fox's recovery.
• Back aerial has more knockback.

Special moves

• Fox Illusion will immediately halt when it hits a shielded opponent.
• Fox Illusion has more startup lag (21 frames → 24), and more ending lag when used on the ground.
• Fox Illusion has slightly less range.
• Fire Fox has slightly more knockback, making the move riskier to edgeguard.
• Fox can only stall Reflector once in the air before landing.
• Fox has a new Final Smash involving an Arwing strike.
