Despite being a top-tiered character and considered among the most powerful in ''Melee'', Fox is not completely infallible. Because he is a light fast faller, he suffers more hitstun but less vertical knockback. As such, nearly every character can juggle or chaingrab him for decent damage or even to KO percents with little chance for Fox to escape ({{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Peach}} being notorious for having deadly chaingrab combos on Fox at {{SSBM|Final Destination}}). As a result, Fox can be considered somewhat of a glass cannon, as while his attack prowess is high, a single blunder by the player can cause the loss of a stock. | Despite being a top-tiered character and considered among the most powerful in ''Melee'', Fox is not completely infallible.

In addition to an ease of being comboed, Fox also suffers from a rather exploitable [[recovery]]. On paper, despite being a fast faller with poor air speed and the highest gravity value amongst the fighters, Fox's recovery is among the best in the game, as his two options, [[Fire Fox]] and [[Fox Illusion]], both travel extremely long distances. He can also mix up his recovery options by angling Fire Fox in nearly any direction and shortening his Fox Illusion, making the opponent second-guess themselves about where they should be on the stage to intercept Fox's recovery. However, such techniques are also extremely dangerous if incorrectly spaced, as if the opponent obtains the correct read or gets into a position where they can hit him out of his recovery, Fox will most likely not be able to recover again. A multitude of attacks can intercept both moves, such as {{SSBM|Mario}}'s [[Cape]] or {{SSBM|Falco}}'s down aerial, and top-tiered characters generally have the options to cover several of Fox's recovery options at once, or even chase Fox off-stage before he even has the chance to recover. Fox has the option of [[wall jump]]ing in an attempt to further his recovery attempts; this technique, however, is situational, as there are very few positions where wall jumping would be more beneficial to him than simply recovering conventionally. | In addition to an ease of being comboed, Fox also suffers from a rather exploitable [[recovery]].
