Perfect Chaos IV: a Fox Highlight Video.

[chaos_Leader]

This is my fourth (whoa, for times already) addition to my Perfect Chaos series, and I think I've outdone myself this time.

The video itself is loosely divided into three general sections. These 'sections' are sorted by what I feel are the three "T"s of Fox (or any SSBB gameplay):

Technicality:
How well a player can control the minute aspects of the character; what their "technical skill-level" is. It is essential for landing combos, pseudo-combos and attack-strings.

Tenacity:
How far a player is willing to push the character, what kind of 'balls' they have in using their skill. Tenacious play is useful for aggressive pressure-building, as well as landing the kill in many cases.

Tactics:
Balancing the two aforementioned aspects, and blending them into a workable strategy to win with. This is where the so-called "Mind-Games" come into play.

Even if what I just said up there is complete BS, keep in mind that it is simply how I've organized my clips. I did my best to have the clips compliment the music I've chosen, and vice-versa.

One thing you'll notice straight-away: my "combos" rarely end in a kill; that's because I play against some pretty stiff competition.
For every well-executed combo, every satisfying kill, every opportunity exploited you see in this video: there are a comparable number of moments where I take it in the dirt from the excellent players I'm up against.
In addition, the clips I've used were all taken exclusively from in-person matches. No wifi.


Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video:

You use nair A LOT, but you use it in a very interesting way that works well. I always like it when foxes shoot 1 laser like at 3:36 just to prove that they can

N-air is one of Fox's most underused and underrated moves at his disposal, and has so many more potential uses than the usual D-air.

The blaster -as far as I'm concerned- is useful for the single sole purpose of annoying my opponent, thus provoking a response I can play-off of.

I'm glad that you like the vid.

I did not see one Flash&Crash! My lame way of saying you didn't use the Reflector across the ground followed by the Up Smash. You can do it on Marth at ~100%. You could have done it to Falco at 3:06 but for some reason you did Nair.You ended up killing him anyways, but I think it would have been more efficient.

I agree Fox's Nair is an effective, underrated move all, but you use it too much.

Overall, it was well put together and interesting to see a variation of Fox.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, expects the U-Smash from Fox. You'd be surprised how many times my opponents will accurately predict and prepare for a Fox U-Smash, but never see a D-Smash, F-Smash or B-Air coming. I use U-Smash, and I like to use it, but I am extraordinarily conservative in my use of it; not just because everyone knows about it, but also because I like to keep it as fresh as possible in order to maximize its killing potential.
The way I used N-Air there, was mostly as a trick. with its almost nonexistent landing-lag, my opponent didn't expect me to whip out F-Smash as quick as I did.

I agree Fox's Nair is an effective, underrated move all, but you use it too much.

When my opponents can figure out how to effectively and consistently punish me for using N-air, then I'm using it too much. Until then, I will continue to use Fox's N-air as I do. Lets face the facts: it is a far lesser evil than using D-Air too much. Of all of Fox's aerial moves, N-air is the most difficult to punish with its near-nonexistent landing lag. That's one of the reasons why I am so liberal in my use of it.

I do what I can.

There may not be many flashy bells-and-whistles to the playstyle, but cute parlor-tricks never won a match for me.
Only exploiting the faults of my opponent wins me a match.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

If you time it right you can ~100%+Shine->UpSmash and he can't stop you. I don't care if he sees it coming. It doesn't matter if he can't move.

In Retrospect, I'd rather rephrase what I said. The Nair is overshadowed by what else Fox could use as alternatives. The way you used it seemed alright for the most part, but it looked like other techniques could have been done to rack % higher.

I do understand spaz mind games, though, so I hear you on that matter.

Too good. You really know Fox!
