Fox (PM): Difference between revisions

{{Infobox Character Mod

}}

==Attributes==

In ''Project M'', Fox plays very similarly to his ''Melee'' counterpart, albeit with some nerfs. His KO power is somewhat reduced, his on-stage recovery is less safe, and his infamous shine spike is slightly less potent than it used to be. He retains his incredible mobility, his heavily disjointed hitboxes, deadly [[combo]]s, and good options on both defense and offense. While his blaster deals less damage at a distance, it is still sufficient for camping out characters that refuse to approach Fox. Despite a damage and knockback nerf, Fox's up smash can still reliably KO at reasonable percentages, and can more easily combo fast fallers. Most of Fox's moves are still oriented toward comboing opponents, with his aerials and tilts remaining largely lag free and great for repeatedly hitting opponents. Fox's up throw can set up for many moves, like his up aerial, back aerial, or a [[tech chase]] at lower percentages on [[fastfaller]]s with an up smash or another grab.

On top of the nerfs, he must deal with the weaknesses he had in ''Melee''; his extremely high falling speed and gravity (the highest in the game) and low air speed make him very susceptible to combos and [[chain grab]]s and his extremely low weight makes him very easy to KO horizontally. The linearity of both [[Fire Fox]] and [[Fox Illusion]] make Fox easy to [[edge guard]] or gimp, especially with the increased landing lag on both special moves. As such, Fox often has trouble making it back to stage despite only being launched to a distance where many characters could easily recover. This is exacerbated in the harsher ''Project M'' environment, where many characters now have tools to punish and gimp Fox harshly for mistakes that players make with him.

==Changes from ''Melee'' to PM==

===Aesthetics===

===Special Moves===

*{{nerf|[[Fox Illusion]] and [[Fire Fox]]'s landing lag after special fall is slightly increased.}}

*{{nerf|Can no longer perform [[waveshine infinite]]s against walls, as opponents now fall down when the shine knocks them into a wall.}}

*{{change|Down throw no longer spins the victim around oddly while being lasered.}}

*{{change|[[Fire Fox]] hitbox placement adjusted to match ''Melee''.}}

===v2.6b===

*{{buff|Reflector can be released during the reflect lag to go into the end animation afterwards, preventing rapid hitting projectiles like Fox's standing laser that can re-hit before the reflect lag ends from being able to trap him in it.}}

*{{nerf|Reflector [[invincibility frame]]s removed.}}

*{{change|Animation transitions from Wait for some moves adjusted to look cleaner.}}
