(This is honestly just as unnecessary as calling Sonic a "Mobian hedgehog". A fox is a fox, no matter what planet they come from.) |

Fox McCloud is a nimble and fast character. His [[neutral special move]] is the [[Blaster Shot]], which sends one powerful energy beam at his opponents. His [[up special]] is the [[Fire Fox]] which envelops Fox in flames and sends him flying in any direction. His [[down special]] is the {{H1|Reflector|Fox's version}}, which serves as both an offensive and defensive move (it reflects any projectiles that come in contact with it). Fox ranks 4th on the [[tier list]]. | ||

His moveset has not changed much, but his blaster has been given new properties to be faster but with no [[flinch]]ing power. His [[side special move]] is the [[Fox Illusion]], which causes Fox to rush ahead in a blur and can be used as a recovery move. He is currently ranked 1st on the tier list due to countless shine techniques (such as the [[shine spike]] which can easily gimp characters, and the [[waveshine]] which can combo and rack up damage), and amazing matchups, lacking any negative ones. | ||

Fox was confirmed as a playable character during the [[E3]] 2013 [[Nintendo Direct]]. Like his appearance in ''Brawl'', Fox's appearance is primarily based on ''Star Fox Command'', but he appears to have higher quality fur visuals, similar to Donkey Kong. Contrary to his appearance, Mike West, his ''Star Fox 64'' and ''Star Fox 64 3D'' English voice actor, now voices Fox. However he is still voiced by Steve Malpass in Corneria and Jim Walker in Lylat Cruise. | Fox was confirmed as a playable character during the [[E3]] 2013 [[Nintendo Direct]].

Fox was slightly [[nerf]]ed from ''Brawl'' to ''Smash 4'', with weakened finishers, increased [[lag]] on his aerials, and the removal of [[auto-canceling]] with his Blaster. Yet, to compensate, his recovery options were improved, with [[Fox Illusion]] no longer leaving him [[helpless]], and [[Fire Fox]] gaining more distance. He also benefits from ''Smash 4'''s general changes, such as the removal of [[hitstun canceling]] and [[chain-grab]]bing. Fox still retains his key strengths from past games, and thus ranks 7th out of 55 on the ''Smash 4'' [[tier list]] (being tied with {{SSB4|Sonic}}), having noteworthy representation and results in tournaments. | Fox was slightly [[nerf]]ed from ''Brawl'' to ''Smash 4'', with weakened finishers, increased [[lag]] on his aerials, and the removal of [[auto-canceling]] with his Blaster.
