I need help with my falcon to beat fox, every time I match with fox I usualy loose, can't do enough dmg to start getting combo's off, so I use samus to beat him.
But I like C.Falcon too much and want to find the best way to kill foxes with my C.falcon, I guess it's always gonna be a close match.

Against Foxes, I tend to grab a lot. Then, I follow up by tech chasing him, and using Falcon's basic combo into knees.

Also, run around a lot, too. Since Captain Falcon's the fastest character in the game, you can outmanuever Fox and surprise him with attacks.

I do pretty much the same...tech chase to chain grabs at early percentages, then basically use a smash or knee to finish him off. Commonly its dair or side b to knee around 70% dmg, up throw to fsmash around 90% dmg or so, or down tilt to knee at higher %'s.

Also, try using up tilt to edge guard. It works wonders against fox's predictable recovery. And if your fox opponent is any good, he will shine you when you recover any time possible. To avoid this, you have to work on your tricks to recovering. One would be jumping back away from the ledge if you still have your second jump and then using up+b to sweet spot towards the ledge again. Usually Fox will expect you to up+b right away and he'll miss his shine when he drops down and you jump backwards.

I play vs Fox a lot, so take my word for it :)

Grab ,U-throw, Tech Chase to Dair, Raptor Boost Chase, Knee.
you know whats funny is if you can predict your opponet you can actually do that combo 100 percent of the time

Use Dair to knee a lot
Raptor Boost at 33 to about 70 percent for Short hop to knee
about 80 and on for Full jump to knee

U-throw Tech chase a lot
do it about 3 or 4 times then Raptor boost to knee
or Dair to knee.

Dont get Shine spiked. just dont be near the ledge

That's about right. Early on actually, even at 0 percent, try a down throw to a SHFFL'd knee. Surprisingly, this actually will connect if you throw immediately and don't give the opponent a chance to tech.

And one more thing to add is you can up throw chain grab fox around 75 percent (give or take). Just follow his DI with a JC grab.
