So recently I have been playing more foxes and I'd like to think im good at this match up but I've been finding myself not being able to get the win. I'm not always able to extend my combos for the kill or for decent percentage my movement around with falco is good but I get punished like crazy when I try an approach

Fox is faster than falco and I believe his shine has a little more range. His full hop nair can beat almost any of your approach options. I find the best way to beat foxes is to make them approach you, your projectile can disrupt fox so you can try to lock him down with those. If he goes to a platform, do not follow him because fox wants you to go high so he can get below you. You need to create openings and then once you get in, try your best to get him to a high %. After about 40% though, if you have to choose between continuing a combo or getting him offstage, I would use your judgement to decide which to do but an offstage fox is a less scary fox :)
