I'm more referring to overall power more than just move power. Sheik can do a number on Charizard because all her moves are quick and hard to punish, and I find that MU to be far more threatening than the Fox MU simply because she has a lot more ways to reliably kill him than Fox does (who generally needs to try to read with FSmash and USmash or gimp 'Zard's recovery in order to kill Charizard before he can take too much damage, unlike Shiek, who can FTilt Charizard for days). Fox isn't weak, but his kill power is not as consistent as Shiek's.
Not trying to be mean here, but describing Fox's physics as floaty and having less kill power than Sheik?
Not sure if you really understand Mr. McCloud.
, basically.
Fox is easier to combo because he is a fast-faller, the opposite of a floaty. As far as kill power goes, Fox has tons of set ups for upsmash alone that aren't to difficult to get, especially on someone like Charizard who has a big frame. Reads are not necessary to get kills.I'm more referring to overall power more than just move power.

Maybe "floaty" is an improper term; but Fox is definitely easier to combo with Zard than most other high-tiers. Plus Fox's recovery is pretty linear (you only really have Firefox and Fox Illusion), making Charizard's DAir even more dangerous to him than to other characters because of that. He's got that same weight feeling as
I actually think Fox beats Ryu. I wrote about it earlier in this thread.
I can't find where I wrote about it earlier so I'll just sum up my thoughts:
Diddy spamming B-air: be patient.

Fox's worst matchups imo are: - While I do agree the best way to play is to generally just avoid hand-to-hand with Ryu, this matchup is bad. That's essentially the same way you should be playing against Luigi. And with Ryu, all you can really do when he traps you in soft U-tilt locks is SDI and pray he messes up or that you land to put up shield in time. - She is very potent at keeping out Fox when Luma is present. KOs Fox very early and can abuse his weight and fall speed to do so with U-air juggles and edgeguards. It's significantly easier when Luma is gone, because it give Fox a much better window of opportunity to start something on her.
