Hey fellow Fox players!
For the past couple of months I've been trying to get into competitive smash and I've really been trying hard to improve myself, by starting to attend local tournaments in my area (only been to two so far), playing a lot on smash ladder, and lurking on here reading up on some helpful information.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of playing @DKwill on his stream, the match can be found at the 5:02:20 mark here: http://www.twitch.tv/dkwill/v/27931331
Any critique is appreciated, I know I'm not great but I'm certainly willing to hear anything, no matter how harsh.
Edit: If this isn't enough footage I can upload some replays against some players on smash ladder

I only watched the first 2 games ( idk if there was more and remember this is wifi so things are a bit odd but here goes nothing)

But the main thing is you need to find out how to keep the pressure up since Fox is extremely fast, has pretty low cool down moves, and great hitboxes. So you let him have too much time to think and space to move around (DK is a huge character who is pretty slow)

Besides that you need to polish up on your combos since DK could of been puinished harder and Fox's combos are crazy in general so look at this set to learn how to play the match up better and how to combo DK and use the speed adventage to make DK feel helpless.
