Fox Combos and Help (And some Falco)

[Gawain]

Hey Fox mains, since I had been getting a few requests to do this I thought I'd post it here in case it helps anyone. As I said in the other threads if you guys know of or find any other cool tricks or combo stuff that I don't cover that use the default movesets let me know, I'm really interested. Hope it helps someone out though.

Thats a nice guide you got there for fox and falco. I did notice that you left out that fox's fair can spike when fast falled. Meaning you can do combos like down tilt -> SHFL fait -> Upsmash. you can also follow up fox' down throw with fair then follow up that fair with a uair at lower percents.

I have a question about his UpSmash, is the dash upsmash slowler than brawl or it's just I can't perform it correctly without the c-stick.

I didn't know that his fair spiked, that actually sounds sweet. I'll have to play around with that. I tried to get Fox's dthrow into fair to work reliably but I feel like it's pretty susceptible to DI so I left it out.

It's basically the same in function. It feels a little weaker though. DACUS exists, it's just difficult without the cstick.

Personally, I feel Fox/Falco are going to expand their game tremendously once the ability to use GC controllers comes about. I feel like there's a lot of hidden potential still.

The F-air spike is really, really strict to get, specially in the 3DS where you have to use the circle pad to input the F-air and then follow it with a fast fall. You gotta do this maaad fast. I believe it's the first and second hits of F-air that get the spike, which is why the fast-fall is necessary.

It's worth mastering though. Even if the opponent techs the spike when they land, you can follow with a Dash attack, foxtrot Up-smash, or F-smash: you need to read which direction they tech to though.

Fair makes for a decent ground-to-air aerial on non-shielded opponents, due to the spiking and pressure on the opponent to tech the bounce. It's decent as a pressuring tool. However it is a very low-speed spread out multihit, so it's common to whiff at first before you get good at using it.
