You... defined DI wrong...
Its just, wrong. Beginners in todays meta know what a wavedash is, and you can DI on accident even. Even if not, beginners less than that arent on smashboards
Really unpolished, No structuring. You didn't use a lot of detail throughout, and your sentence structure was lower tier than Kirby. Also dthrow to shine doesn't work if they DI, and is a bad habit to use too often. You went into no detail on even the most basic technical elements, such as wavedashing up and sidesmash, or jab confirms to upsmash.

okay, I'm gonna tell ya to look at @dude it's raining's comments in the discussion section. Beginners don't know what wave dashing even means, they're probably gonna be playing against beginners, and beginners don't know how to DI, beginners can't freaking tech. And are you seriously critiquing me on grammar?!?!
In your intro, you hint at it and then veer off in the wrong direction, but what you should say is this: Fox is considered by pros to be the best character, but a careful beginner can wield his power too. The intro is good except for your veering away, which can be addressed by fixing the pros/cons.

Since this is a beginners guide, there are several pros/cons that do not occur at competitive levels.
1. His light weight & high falling speed makes him susceptible to chain throws, but beginners don't chain throw. The effect of these stats on his survivability is ambiguous; light weights die faster, but fast-fallers die later. What you should say is that he has good survivability in spite of his light weight.
2. Instead of saying 2 recoveries (which implies a lot, but it's actually pretty linear), you should say it is hard for beginners to not get hit by his recovery.
3. It would be nice to mention just one thing about his projectile: racks up damage. Since it's for beginners, there's no need to mention SHL'ing.
4. One thing that is hard for even competitive smashers is timing the teching since he falls so fast. Since beginners don't tech, you should just say he gets knocked down a lot.

I would highly suggest, since his Fair is so laggy, that you just say it sucks and advise using Nair.

As far as lasers go, I'm surprised you didn't mention the tactic of run-n-gun.

And you mention shine followups, then say he has no spike. You should mention that if you shine your opponent near the edge, they may get sent off the stage.


Best of luck bruh
Very misleading to new players. Fair is terrible.
this depicts what would happen if you were playing against a CPU, Who can't simply tech a Dthrow, or adapt to your Fair mixups. This is awful

dude, beginners play against beginners. Beginners don't play ****ing Armada.
Factually incorrect
There's quite a bit of incorrect info and general lack of clarity throughout this guide. At times it seems you're talking about Marth or Lucina instead of Fox. Your combo info, when it is there, is pretty off. As I said earlier, it sounds like you're talking about a completely different character.
