    Mission Complete!- Fox Discussion Thread

    Patch helped out Fox a lot lol. Diddy lost a lot, to the point where I'd say this has swung (gradually) into Fox's favor. Sheik remains rather unchanged (for purposes of this MU only) and is still a massive threat against Fox's recovery options, but losing bair is definitely a benefit for Fox...

    What was the balance philosophy behind Mewtwo? Nothing makes sense.

    This is all true. However, I think the most beneficial change they could give him would be quicker/safer options to contest his aggressors more reliably. I'm speaking mostly of ftilt and bair. Right now he's full of holes for people to get in on. Buffing his combo potential doesn't fix this problem.

    Mewtwo complaint thread

    I wonder if people who say Mewtwo is mid tier, do so more as their suitable title rather than an actual placement in a tier list. Low tier characters are not BAD characters in this game, as the tier gaps are slim. Mid tier characters are just better than low tier. I wonder what characters...

    Mewtwo complaint thread

    Mewtwo doesn't even have the damage or knockback to be considered a glass cannon lol.

    "I wish Mewtwo wasn't bad" =/= "I wish Mewtwo was the absolute best in the game"

    What was the balance philosophy behind Mewtwo? Nothing makes sense.

    He's been out for a day. Nobody should have "learned" him yet, so you shouldn't be shaming those who haven't perfected his style lol. And nobody should know how to play against him, for that matter, and so I'm unwilling to take your radical opinions at face value. And absolutely nobody should be...

    are you asking why his midair jump doesn't autosnap to the ledge? because no midair jumps do this.

    His jab1 setups might be worth looking into. I did see him compared to Palutena's jab1 though, which is hardly true. Mewtwo's jab1 scales in kb pretty hard, and lacks Palutena's dash speed for followups. Shadowball and dtilt are notably good. initial gripes: - weight/hurtbox ratio is still a...

    Balance changes are coming; will Fox be affected? Discuss!

    Fox may not have the best kill setups of the top ~15, but compared to the whole cast...he's got it pretty easy. Guaranteed kill confirms off of jabs against a good chunk of the cast is actually pretty dumb. A spammable nair that can lead to usmash/bair confirms. 3 frame utilt confirms to uair...

    Never give up! Trust your instincts! - Fox video thread obsolete: Go to http://smashvods.com/

    I really wish VGBC didn't take a month to upload videos lol.

    Balance changes are coming; will Fox be affected? Discuss!

    If anything gets removed in this game, they would probably first look at Fox's jab cancel. Their aim is to appease to casual gaming, and I very much doubt they're looking to intentionally punish players for being unaware of how to escape things that look like infinites. I couldn't see them...

    Meta Zero's Advice: General Matchup Q&A

    Everybody needs to listen to this. Fox being a fast character means nothing in this MU. He still has a "meh" sh game and unsafe aerial approaches, and no way to get through pellets. MM's grabgame/range is GOOD in this match. I feel like I need to emphasize this. I don't know what numbers I'd...

    Data All Aircraft Report! - Fox MU Discussion Thread

    Pit/Dark Pit Just to immediately get this out of the way, Pit is definitely the better of the two in this MU. Pit's sideB can kill Fox off the top very early. Maneuverable arrows really make recovery a chore given your small windows to actually recover as Fox. Pit is a character that is...

    Mission Complete!- Fox Discussion Thread

    Very interesting. Are there any upairs that aren't disjointed then? Most upairs that use legs as a uair are given that crescent slash disjoint, so I assumed that upairs that used tails, and upairs that didn't have the wide slash animation (Greninja, Sheik, Samus, etc) would be the only few that...

    Mission Complete!- Fox Discussion Thread

    I always thought each hit of uair was each leg hitting them? I guess I never really paid attention. I highly doubt his uair has any sort of disjoint. First hit of uair trades with even the smallest of hitboxes, even late hit nairs. It never beats another aerial hitbox. Fox's fall speed combined...
