I've been playing fox for a few months now and theres a few things I can't really figure out so would be cool if someone could help me out.
- How do you fair->footstool someone reliably? I've been trying it lots and while it works often it also just as often does not work, while i have heard it's supposed to be guaranteed(maybe it's not?). When it goes wrong people either seem to fall out of my fair prematurely and I don't really know why, or everything looks like it's working as expected, but then I end up getting footstooled myself even tho I am spamming jump. Also are there any good set ups for it? I usually just try to catch people's recovery with it.
- How do I kill as fox? This is literally the biggest problem I have with fox. In the last tournament I went to I was able to keep the game even against the people who beat me, until they got to kill%, at which point I really don't know what I'm supposed to do and just end up getting 3stocked. I know a few kill confirms but they almost never work because as soon as people get around kill% they just shield 24/7. I can grab them for that which I do but I honestly don't even know I should be doing that because foxes grabs are pretty much useless around kill% and all the extra added damage does is make my kill confirms harder to land.
- How do I punish airdodges? This is mainly a problem against my friend who plays Lucas, he will basicly spam airdodge all the time when he's being combo'd, but i really don't know how to punish it. I will jump in the air, he will airdodge, but because of fox's low air mobility he will be way out of my range either way, and i just end up getting punished myself because of it.
- This is probably a silly question but is the timing to short hop smaller while dashing? I've gotten somewhat okay at lagless short hop upairs and can basicly spam it in training without messing up. But as soon as I start dashing and trying to do the short hop i end up fullhopping about 95% of the time. I'm inputting the dash with my other hand, so I don't see how there would be any difference and it's pretty frustrating missing them all the time.
