Beginner's guide to Fox in brawl. Thank Tangy everyone!

lol @ double post

 

[§witch]

They're too fun mirite?

 

[JigglyZelda003]

yeah they are.

edit: we should put some beginner camping tips in. since fox's blaster has no hit stun its not a noraml camping tool.

 

[§witch]

I hate camping, I tend to aerial rush anyways. Nair, dair, bair and uair ftw lol. So I wasn't inclined to put that in I guess...

 

[JigglyZelda003]

well this is brawl camping rules.......

 

[§witch]

Not with me. I only falco camp, and only when I'm forced to.

 

[JigglyZelda003]

from the characters i play other than JP and ganon im usually always camping in some way. i camp less with Fox, cause you know the blaster has like no stun. i even camp with Wolf. its actually ironic that i despised camping in melee, yet in brawl of all the people i play with i am the biggest camper. >__>

 

[§witch]

Aggressive play is way more fun. Especially with the spacies.

 

[JigglyZelda003]

my main is peach. so my aggresiveness kinda died with my peach playstyle changes. i do miss the adrenaline of the rush though. at least with Wolf i get some of that back.

 

[§witch]

All you have to do is spam fair, you can still get the rush with peach. Or, even better, umbrella poke KOs.

 

[JigglyZelda003]

rushing with Peach is dangerous play lol. unless i know my opponent well. i haven't umbrella poke KOed someone in a while i need to record it the next time i do it >.>

I dunno, my cousin played a good Peach (sadly he doesn't SHIELD >_<) and I got him BAD with my Fox.
I ended it with a shine to an offstage dair to a shine to a recovery.
I really think if he would USE THE SHIELD BUTTON then he could've at least stood a chance, but he didn't, so he got caught in about 7-10 shine dashes.
By shine dash I mean shining someone one place, and then running there and shining them again, making them go back, and then you start it over again.

But I haven't faced one Peach I could not beat.

this really helped me. but theres two pics of the forward grab

.

if he doesn't shield then how is he that good may i ask?

Fox has always been a nuisance to Peach. fortunately we can CG him for a while and gimp like no tomorrow.

also yes there is a duplicate picture of the Fthrow but it doesn't bother much does it?

 

[§witch]

Yeah, I would fix it, but I'm extra lazy.

Um.....
Actually, I have no idea how he got good.
He doesn't really practice with anyone in particular, but he's just somehow good.
I mean, he sold Brawl quite a while ago, PLUS I had played him before he sold it.
He wasn't THAT good, but he was okay.
Sometime later I learned he sold it.
I thought his skills were a bit out of whack now, but I played him anyway with my Brawl.
He was like automatically good at the game, but I still got him.

Odd part was when I played his Melee Roy.
His Roy is crazy, and HE DOESN'T DO ATs OR SHIELD!
I played Marth and it was still insane.
You really have to know your opponent, especially when it's him.

I can kill him easy now since I practiced, but his Roy is still nice.

 

[JigglyZelda003]

no need really. might as well advertise him on the page anyway. it is about Fox afterall.

Edit: maybe instant sync with Peach? idk, since i never played him i can only take your word for it. natural talent can only go so far though. looking back i was kinda sucky as melee peach despite the fact i beat anyone with her, but oh well idk.

Hey guys, how about this for a Fox combo!

[JigglyZelda003]

interesting....
it was nice, but after the throw that combo ended. it might have even finished after the Dair cause i know wolf can move after that and the throw to avoid the dash attack. still nice though

[§witch]

Sexy, but not as sexy as that wolf.

 

[JigglyZelda003]

Sexy, but not as sexy as that wolf.

lol................. >.>

 

[Lightning93]

Yeah, I guess you can't consider that "one" combo, but is really an example of how Fox can string multiple ones together so efficiently. And I agree with Letterbomb that Wolf was sexy lol.

 

[RPK]

Im sure its already been posted but Ill post it again...

True combos...
Also IHMO since it seems to always work for me
Bair>F-smash
Nair>D-smash
Dair>up tilt(till they DI in front)>Grab

 

[JigglyZelda003]

Bair to Fsmash? at what percents?

 

[Lightning93]

I'm going to go ahead and say low percents lol. XD Usually, I thought it was <30% right?

 

[JigglyZelda003]

oh really? maybe i'll try that sometime.

 

[RPK]

Meh...At like medium percents...If their in the air after the bair...I got it off quite a few times...Not constant but I still got it lol

 

[§witch]

Unstickied, but they didn't sticky scotu's...
EDIT: ololol, they instickied this as opposed to the out of date match-up guide.

 

[JigglyZelda003]

lol really?

 

[§witch]

Well both match-up threads are up there...

 

[JigglyZelda003]

that old matchup thread needs to be snipped this is more important than that one. >___>

 

[§witch]

Chudat^^^^^

 

[Lightning93]

Lulz, well this sucks.
