    Q&A -Fox Advice/Questions Topic-

    You overuse full hop in neutral so you basically lose alot of threatening space, lose cc ability, and make your movement easier to read and intercept. Try staying more grounded and full hops should be mainly for baits maybe zoning. I think that is a good place to start and some other problems...

    The depend on percentage and DI. Low percent you usualy have to ascending and at mid percents you cand do descending on platforms for the most part. You have the right idea though about how they function differently so just experiment

    Q&A -Fox Advice/Questions Topic-

    This is a complicated question because the answer is usually. Not fast falling can give you more time in the air to drift horizontally, so there are complicated spacing tricks you can do with that to zone or bait a punishable OoS option from your opponent. Most of the time you want to ff your...

    So I think offesnsively you were doing the right things, for you had good mixups and reads. Most of the problems came from an unrefined punish game. I never saw you pick up a big punish off of a grab. Go back and practice the chaingrab and upair platform tech chase. Next I think your OoS game...

    1. Yes you almost always want to ff your drill but you want to mix-up when you do your fast fall to mess up their OoS option because dair is technically never safe on shield even if it can be quite difficult to punish 2. Rising drill is easier with the A button imo. I do all my aerials with A...

    Q&A -Fox Advice/Questions Topic-

    Not sure exactly percent ranges but the earlier percents you just need to get the timing to hit a rising up air on his tech option. Not too difficult because all you have to do is repeat the practice enough til you can do it consistently. I think it is the easiest of the uthrow tech chases. At...

    Q&A -Fox Advice/Questions Topic-

    Well late aerials are super well known and top players will use them very often but they will also mix up their aerial placement. Really late aerials on shield are considered safe on shield so in general you do not want to hit high on the shield because you can be grabbed. Also late aerials to...

    Q&A -Fox Advice/Questions Topic-

    It is mostly a finesse thing. you have to jump and make press a when the control stick is in the neutral position. Then you you immediately move the control stick in the direction you want to drift. Do it without the fastfall first then add it once you can get the drift you want. Honestly...

    1st: Falco - I think you should use dair more sparingly because would counter hit you off your dairs really often. I think spaced away from shine OoS nair and bairs are your best friends. I would like to see running shine mixed into your approaches more. Falco likes to shine OoS, bair, roll most...

    A big part of the tech chase on reaction is positioning before the tech option. Watch top players and how they position themselves for the tech chase. Always if you are positioned correctly. Just watch for the visual cue Not as good as shield drop

    Q&A -Fox Advice/Questions Topic-

    The firestall is the overall safest method and it is frame perfect and you can't use a shine to make it easier if you want that perfection, but many foxes will just drop down and sweet spot the ledge again to refresh since most players are not willing to challenge Fox down in that position. I...

    Q&A -Fox Advice/Questions Topic-

    I watched two of your games. The things I think that you should work on would be just playing more patient. By that I mean using more dash dances, keeping someone in the corner, being patient to get out of the corner, and not over extending. You need more and tighter dash dances because your...

    Q&A -Fox Advice/Questions Topic-

    Well it changes based on how I am playing. If I ever feel like I am going to be late on my reaction I usually try to dd just out range and nair them out of your tech if I know I might be late. This will pretty much always work to a certain extent and it helps me not overextend and lose stage...

    Q&A -Fox Advice/Questions Topic-

    You can tech the shine so you don't miss a tech, and if you still miss it then you can SDI up on the jab reset so that you don't do the stand up animation. To do thunders off running shine or any miss-teched shine, you just need to wave shine faster (less frames stuck in shine) and to have a...
