They basically all have positive matchups against everybody.

Roy..bleh..This IS the fox board, so we will say fox LELELE 20XX MASTER RACE. But seriously, falco is easier to learn and master, in my subjective opinion. I would go with fox, its so satisfying to combo with fox. Either way, both are amazing characters, can't go wrong. All subjective.

Fox has a stronger movement and bait game, great if you like reading your opponent.
He also has an easier time against floaties.
Falco has a control oriented game with his lasers and as a result has less risk oriented pressure.
He can also zone better with his moves and lasers rather than pure movement due to his longer limbs.
Both are very enjoyable to play and very technically demanding.
Look up: Lucky/Sfat/Silentwolf/Colbol for Fox and PP/Westballz/Zhu for Falco, or Mango for either.
Pick whichever looks coolest to you :D

Hey there, I also started as a Roy main but currently I main both spacies actually. Fox imo is better overall because of its versatility in being able to camp and play aggressive at the same time effectively, he is really fast paced and technical. Falco on the other hand is great but is a bit slower paced, he draws more from stage control and long aerial combos. Fox is just harder to learn while Falco is easier to pickup especially for you since Falco's and Roy's weight are pretty similar
I'll still main Roy for PM but spacies are so dominant in Melee. 20XX is real.

Haha, 20XX is just a joke though, it's all in good fun. Roy in pm is pretty damn amazing though
I actually know a really good Game and Watch main in SoCal who actually introduced me to competitive smash. You should hit him up at Karmatrix

I always play wolf in pm if i'm not going diddy.
Nobody mentioned leffen? He's the fox god right now, you should definitely check him out. The good thing about learning from leffen is that he never plays more technical than he has to. He's very efficient, and uses the character in a very smart way (yet lightning fast).

There's nothing to learn from Leffen's Fox really, it's the most textbook example of a character there is.
I guess that might also make him the ideal player to learn from if you're new though

Yea, no style to leffens play at all which is effective but also bland. Absolute cookie cutter fox, but hey, he's damn good as being a basic advanced fox.
