    I think you used the right words: "taxing", "exhausting", and "frustrating" are the words that come to my mind as well. I am by no means a competitive player, but I consider myself fairly experienced in Smash (been there since Melee) and I was always a Fox main, except in Ultimate.
    I feel like whenever I play Fox I need to be 100% focused, almost frame perfect, in every single interaction. As a Fox player, you have the possibility of completly dominating the battle if you are able to react and adjust to every single interaction, but that is definitely very hard to pull off consistently. So at the end, what tends to happen (at least in my experience) is that you more or less dominate the match but then you make one or two mistakes, and then you die. And then you need to go for a comeback, and I firmly believe Fox is one of the worst characters when you are losing. Fox is designed for situations in which you are clearly dominating and you win with a wide margin. If the margin is small, chances are you will make one mistake and that will cost your entire match.
    So yeah, it is exhausting, because it takes all your focus all the time to be consistent with Fox. It is taxing, because every minor mistake can cost the entire match. And therefore, it is a pretty frustrating experience to play with Fox at certain levels.
    EDIT: I would also add that playing with Fox at a high level is quite restrictive if you want to maximize your chances of winning and minimize risks. For example, you better don't even try to edgeguard, as often times it will be reversed and you will be the one dying. And also, you have very limited options to pull off a kill consistently, either with a raw smash attack or a back air (which isn't even that strong, tbf) and even your nair into up-smash confirm only works in a rather restricted percentage window.

      Then I looked a Captain Falcon and well, it's just way more fun for me. You may play like total crap and still win sometimes with a couple of well executed combos. I don't know, I guess my play style is too inconsistent and I cannot main that kind of characters that demand so much focus all the time.

    Yeah, Fox can feel weird in Ult to rank and play, even if I do greatly enjoy the char
    If they really want to buff him, they could go one of 4 routes
    Weight:
    -Fox weights 80 or 82(Same as ZSS and Falco)
    Recovery:
    -Illusion has 20 frame startup again, but still cant crossup shields. Considering how fast Wolf and Falco side B's are, kinda dumb that Fox Illusion is so slow. Wolf and Falco can also combo and kill confirm off theirs as well
    Throws:
    -Downthrow has less ending lag and knockback to combo into Bair, Fair(Dragodown and Normal), and Upair
    Ledge:
    -Downtilt has a lower vertical hitbox to better hit ledgehang

    @hermannplatz 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    To be honest Fox is more likely the bottom of High Tier in my opinion. It's not just the awful recovery with the laggy side B which ain't able to go through shields, Fox just lacks a lot in general.
    He is one of the very few characters who shouldn't even try to edge guard, because it usually ends with you being in a worse situation often times. Also he can't spike you at all while Wolf and Falco have two different moves for that and it's the same with his throws - None of them combo into anything and won't kill you until very late if ever. He also got like one of the worst grab ranges in the game and zero tools to shield damage efficently which makes holding shield for pretty much everyone a very powerful option.
    And if your enemy ever gets like 140% none of your moves will combo into a kill anymore, which means you have to fish for it and since your grabs are no big threat it can be very hard, especially if your enemy has a counter which quite a few characters have in this game.
    I will never understand people who place him Top Tier. Even Light goes for a secondary now and I can totally understand that, because he won't to able to climb much higher with Fox only.

    • @blackwelltray2146
      @blackwelltray2146 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I play him a good bit and totally agree but I still think he is high tier and maybe maybe low top tier. His speed and combos are incredible, but his weight and recovery hold him back so much. As you’re completely right about the grabs at least in smash 4 the down throw comboed into fair. He’s high tier or top tier depending on how you play him, which is almost like perfect and not get hit by something stupid to die early.

    • @hermannplatz

      @@blackwelltray2146 Yea if you play him close to perfect on a constant basis he is insane, but that includes reads etc. and no matter how good you are this ain't 100% under your control. I don't think playing a character just perfect makes him Top Tier otherwise we would find fighters like the Ice Climbers there too. Also I don't think buffing any of his flaws would make him too strong which kinda confirms my placement for him. IMO Top Tier characters don't have such an easy counter play if any at all while Fox definitely has huge weaknesses it's hard to compare him to Palutena for example. I mean just giving any of his moves more shield damage would already make him much more reliable, even with this really abusable recovery.

    IMO, fox isn't as good as he's been made out to be. It feels like he's going down the same path as inkling, where now that players are deciding to just not let him land his kill options and not let him recover for free he is slowly falling out of viability. I also think fox is just getting more boring as ultimate goes on, but that could just be me, honestly.

      I think there's 2 reasons why I wouldn't say Fox is the most hype character in the game. The first reason is him not having a free flow combo game (his combo game is basically only comboing up airs into more up airs & doing nair into up smash which is kinda lame to watch) & the second reason is him preferring ledge trapping over edge guarding.

    The two buffs Fox needs: pull some frames off the startup of side B, and pull some frames off the put-away animation of laser. The first one helps his recovery and lets side B actually be used as an attack, and the second one, while mostly useless, at least lets laser be used to tack on a percent or two in quick moments of downtime, because right now the move has no purpose whatsoever, and no move should have no purpose whatsoever.
    Neither of these unbalance him but would make him a lot more fun to play.

      Same with shine stall.
      The laser end lag you mentioned as well.
      Increase his weight back to 79 where it was in smash 4.
      Buff his up air knockback growth so it has a hope of actually killing someone he is juggling at high %.
      Then he could be a top tier again where he belongs. He's still gonna get blown up but at least let him have some mixups and a laser so he doesn't have to run at you 100% of the time.

    another thing not mentioned here (I think): there's a percentage past which it gets harder to kill rather than becoming easy, throws don't kill and up air does not connect at the same time, the neutral air kill confirm stops being a kill confirm, forward tilt sends opponent too far not far enough to kill but not close enough to combo. Basically you need to read you opponent into an up-smash but that also gets incredibly risky, the end lag of that move allows someone to come down a platform and still kill you with a dash attack, it is that slow.

    i think the shielding out of run nerf hurts fox SO MUCH. In other games he's able to micro space his grounded movement around the opponents spacing capabilities but in this game if you're running you can't shield immediately making dash dancing significantly nerfed and not even that good of an option. I've tried so hard to built a mang0-esque play style for my fox but the not being able to shield quick enough makes it rough on top of the fact that there is so little end lag in this game making whiff punishing a large amount of options in neutral not capable. Alongside these things there are a lot of characters with low lag disjoints, I can't for the life of me figure out the ness v fox matchup because everything has so little lag and beats out all of foxes options. So many times when I'm playing ultimate I try to dash dance in neutral and just get smacked out of it because I can't properly shield incoming attacks on reaction. The bob and weave aggressive play style that melee has is seemingly impossible with ultimates mechanics and that saddens me because I want to become really good at being aggressive but i feel as I get punished by the game for not sitting back and waiting for my opponent to strike

      I agree that was a horrible situation for Light to jump in, but I don't think most characters would've been edge guarded in that situation.

    I remember getting Fox into elite smash (before they nerfed the gsp requirement). I had a lot of difficulty getting him in. Everything is hard to do, he's super susceptible to edge guards (and tech timing is even worse online), and he dies if you sneeze on him. I think I messed up an analogue stick on one of my controllers in my efforts, sometimes it doesn't take inputs the right.
    Anyway, he's hard to play well and gets punished harder than other characters. Plus if you're dedicated to the space animals, Wolf and Falco are both more consistent and aren't made of styrofoam.

      He actually has a really big ledgegrab box (Lucas’ for example already is quite big and fox’ is like 1,5x the size of lucas’).
      It’s just that he kind of teleports slightly above the ledge during the 2-frame window.
      So it would make more sense to remove that than to give him a bigger ledgegrab box.

    • @BoneyGaf

    I might be alone in this but i think Fox is fine. Honestly he's a very strong character when played RIGHT and yes he may be light but that is normal for a character who has godly frame data and speed. Theoretically you should rarely be getting hit because of these factors. His recovery I will admit Is exploitable but at least he can recover unlike some characters. There has to be trade off somewhere people. At least unlike some other light characters *cough sheik* he doesn't have trouble taking stocks and because he has a good distance on recovery both vertically and horizontally it has to be exploitable somehow.
