Blaster makes him approach.
Besides that...these things work for me
- Grabbing at high %. If you don't do anything (and pummel only once maybe twice if you wish), and they try to break the grab (more specifically tap up or rotate their control stick), they jump break the grab, allowing a free dash into upsmash to KO at high %. Even if they know not to try breaking out, sometimes people rotate the stick on reflex, which makes them lose a stock.
- Fastfalling often. Fox is the fastest faller in the game and MK doesn't fall quickly
- Jumping high and fastfalling airdodges into uptilt/grabs, specially if he jumps after you
- Running into him and shielding (grab attempt)
- Not dairing a lot because dair sucks, but it works if you land it into an upsmash at high % (around 90) or dsmash at VERY high % (around 120 close to the edge) for KOs
- Shorthop fastfalling bairs on shield/dsmash happy players
- Jumping up to him and nairing if he's in the air because it's quick and beats his aerials from below
- Not getting aerial shuttle looped while in the air, probably after getting thrown, and SPECIALLY if you've used your air jump. SERIOUSLY. It's the worst thing you can get hit by since it can put you offstage in a very bad position even at low %
The match can get too campy if your opponent shields too much and retreats when you shield. Meta Knight is hard for Fox, but then again most great characters are except a few like Diddy Kong and D3.
PS: On the MK side...
- I bair TONS. Bair outranges everything Fox has and protects MK from above if Fox is above him.
- I attempt aerial shuttle loops to send Fox offstage in case he tries shinestalling or something and it works.
- I space fair and dtilt like crazy so Fox stays outside of my range
- I don't tornado since he can DI up and pop out of it quickly and then perform nasty things vs nado like dair into anything. Oh and upsmash can go through nado or hit before it starts.
- I hope I get to dair them offstage which makes for a stock loss
- I get annoyed at being lasered by a character that runs faster
