I've got a couple dittos to play in the bracket for an upcoming tournament. There are other MUs to worry about, but the 2 main people that will be a challenge also main Fox.

I know the MU is supposed to be pretty jank, but I haven't really played it extensively, so what should I be looking out for, and what jank stuff should I be trying to do when possible?

I know at the very least that edgeguarding is crucial as ****

dd camp is crazy good because if you get a grab it always leads into massive damage or death
thunders combo super prevalent because it leads into a grab which flowcharts into massive damage or death
some jank stuff you can do if you grab them by the ledge (and you're facing inwards towards the stage) and they don't di the uthrow you can double shine and potentially gimp

Thanks! But what is the thunders combo? Other than that, everything is understood

In addition, they can start to get up attack or roll after the jab reset past low percent, and at high percent the jab doesnt reset at all

It's so safe though that it's generally worth going for since the risk/reward is very good

Grabs are really important and lead to big damage, crouch cancel then shine their Nair approaches, upthrow upsmash, be an M2K edgeguarder, and shine out of shield. Otherwise I hate this matchup

Thunders Combo has already been stated, but I really like running shine in the fox ditto. It leads into tech chasing and is super safe.
