Any Fox Tips, Tricks or Tactics?

[Hakkat]

Any tips? Fox is my main and I have good offense, but I need some defense tactics besides slow-falling by spamming reflector. Also some better offensive ideas would also really help =D

I need help approaching. I think you can dash-dance or use Fox Illusion to string combos, but I hear dash-dancing sucks in Brawl due to tripping.

Any tips? Thanks

Edit: I know about short-hop-lasers, but They don't seem to work for me as Foxes laser doesn't make the enemy flinch as everyone knows

Instant Aerial Illusion (IaI)

How to perform: as soon as Fox jumps do illusion immediately and he will land on the ground to reduce landing lag.

Input: Dash towards ledge>Jump before you reach it>And illusion towards the stage.
What can it be set up for: Utilt, Upsmash, Dair, and Boost pivot grabs.

What is it used for: IaI helps as a good escape option.

Shine Hopping

How to perform: When a projectile hit fox shine, it gives you a few options you can do during shine: Hop, spotdodge, roll, or stay.

Lasering out shine is important and have to learn it.

Learning this Technique in helpful in the falco and mario macth up.

You can't shine hop Olimar's pikmin and snake's missle and motor part hit of his upsmash.

Grab Release>Upsmash
How to perform: Grab someone and pummel Immediately before they land and it force an air release only on certain characters.

Here the characters that you can perform an air release on:
Meta Knight
Sopo
Pikachu
Squitle
Ness
Lucas(You can chain grab them regulary)
GnW
Yoshi(It takes very strict timing to perform it on yoish)

Air release is very helpful and can set up to an upsmash

Thanks! I'm gonna work on Pivot grabs. Ik they aren't great, but Fox's is fast and looks helpful in some situations. Haven't practiced those much.​

Really cool to know fox has a release on mk. I will start practicing this as well.

Fox short hop triple lasers to keep his upsmash fresh and to get people to approach him because he has bad approaches.
