The Official Fox discussion thread -> We support Fox's new design! (Or just me)

[DeadVirus]

I dunno. Compared to the previous Fox model, everything does look better except his face. His facial structure just looks weird. Although the costume is an update, I prefer Fox's old facial structure.

 

[K_Walk]

Yeah his eyes will take some getting used to.
Dang, this video was such an awesome surprise.

 

[GreenKirby]

The only bad thing about this is that Falco will now look ****ed up. Assuming he's in of course

 

[Maikeru17]

Yeah, I still think Fox's new shoes look a bit cumbersome.

Sora from Kingdom Hearts may never be in SSBB, but his shoes made it in.

Hah, Fox's boots are big, but I've always been a fan of big boots. o_O;

I really like the way Fox looks, actually. They could've done a little better with designing his head/face (cheek fur plx? Or fur at all, for that matter), but the outfit, as simplistic as it is, looks really intricate. Hell, his boots have buckes on the sides.
The overall appearance of Fox looks awesome, IMO.
I'd decide to play/main him in Brawl just because of the way he looks. <<;

 

[Kabyk-Greenmyst]

You prefer Fox looking all thin and gaunt and underfed like in Melee? I thoguht he still looks cool, but his neck is so thin...I'm glad they made him fuller in the head with more fur and rounder face. It works, doesn't look good for a person of god speed, but that will probably be fixed.

 

[NJ'zFinest]

I don't like the new look much the sf64 costume is better methinks

edit:

Fox for Top Tier in Brawl!

 

[Naota-Kun]

Could you perhaps show me the source of that pick? Fox does look really awesome in that pick and stuff other than the fact his boots are clown-sized but how do we know this pic has not been doctored on Photoshop or something?

 

[NJ'zFinest]

? Fox does look really awesome in that pick and stuff other than the fact his boots are clown-sized but how do we know this pic has not been doctored on Photoshop or something?

There's numerous websites with scans from magazines with info on next-gen games/consoles.
It would be awfully hard to photoshop a picture of a BENT page of a magazine of a character who's model has been JUST released.

 

[Naota-Kun]

I did heard rumors of a new trailer on Brawl. Maybe Fox will be in that trailer and we can finally see Pikachu's Super Smash.

 

[NJ'zFinest]

The new trailer is already out lol

[Naota-Kun]

Wow, neat! Now I really want to play Snake. *frowns* I was hoping he'd get a Stinger over an RPG but I guess that is fine.

 

[K_Walk]

I don't know if anyone else stated this, but does any feel like Fox resembles too much of P.U.S.S. N' BOOTS !??!?! From the movie SHREK 2??? That kitten thing with boots and big eyes.

Way to make him look a teddy bear, Nintendo...

 

[NJ'zFinest]

hahaha K Walk. He does look a little too cute and less realistic now

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

I frickin love the way he looks. Those boots = win. I want.

 

[Chewbacca35]

I think that, since all of the characters look more realistic, the Assault version would be more appropriate, but I like it. I don't like his fighter stance, though. Too spazzy.

 

[cb_marth]

Fox looks really sweet now. His gun, boots and attire is awsome. I can tell he is going to be a really sweet character. I can't wait to see him in battle!

 

[Reese]

I liked him better in melee. He looked so fierce and angry. Now he looks ... weird. Hey i wonder his aerial kicking moves will be stronger because of his huge boots ... will he even be able to kick with those boots on ? They look so heavy !

 

[Reese]

sry about the double post. But i just had a thought. Will fox's huge boots make him fall even faster ?

 

[ZeroP]

I dont like his new look its too cute. but i hope there will be better colours than in melee

 

[Your_Omnipotent_Highness]

By the looks of the trailer, he kept the same taunt. His stance is awesome.

 

[cb_marth]

I agree, his stance is very cool.

 

[T-major]

personaly, I think he looks horrible. the overall outfit is good (except the boots) but the lack of fur, makes him look like he's made of plastic. but the fact that he's jumping with his gun out, might be a hin't that he will play differant. he might carry the blaster around all the time (like Links sword) so he can fire it faster. and from the look of the video, he seems to have some sort of mine attached to his belt.... you think that would serve a purpose? or just for looks? hmmmmm..... but for the most part, it was pretty obvious that he would get in (to me at least)

 

[Super_Cool]

I wish they used the "Adventures" look for him. The "Assault" version looked too evil for a good guy, and the "Command" version looks graphically inferior because it came from a handheld,IMO.

Rare really nailed it with Fox's look so I wish Sakurai kept their version. For the love of God, why the hell did he use the Fox from the DS! Even the Nintendogs got a graphical boost in Brawl!

 

[NJ'zFinest]

but the fact that he's jumping with his gun out, might be a hin't that he will play differant.

Zero Suit Samus also has her gun constantly out however only physical moves where shown in the trailer

and from the look of the video, he seems to have some sort of mine attached to his belt.... you think that would serve a purpose? or just for looks?

I was wondering the same thing

 

[T-major]

piont noted. forgot about that. they still might change Fox's moves a bit regardless, or it could be like Zero-suit Samus, and simply for looks. but on the topic of Zamus, we saw her changing the guns shape in the video. you think that would mean you could change the gun to have differen't effects? like one for a regular gun shot, one for the beam whip, and two more for others (maybe a beam sword, or something?) I can't think of any other purpose it could serve.

 

[Naota-Kun]

If Fox' new **** in Boots footwear really does effect him to kick harder and fallfaster then wouldn't he also be slightly slow down, too, wich is a no good?

 

[DSB]

Not a big fan of the boots but everything else about him looks badass.

 

[Jossy]

the boots are terrible lol

 

[FireBomb]

Now if we could do something about the oversized forehead...

Perhaps Tilt-Bs have been added and Fox uses the mine as the ultimat edgeguarding technique,but if not,we may become unlucky and get shine dropped for the mine.Just thoughts though.

 

[Doggalina]

Well, the new Fox is obviously based on command fox (the eyes give it away.)

Just expect this:

...but with obnoxious boots.

 

[Endless Nightmares]

What book/magazine is that image of Fox from???

And is Fox...older? He seems to have gray hair.

 

[NJ'zFinest]

Yes, this "version" of Fox is older than the previous

 

[kaid]

What is people's problem with Fox's appearence? the pic in the first post looks airbrushed, but in the TRAILER, Fox looks like THIS:

 

[NJ'zFinest]

he looks cool in that pic because you can't see his ugly face:

EEWWW

 

[DRD]

He looked alot more realistic in Melee, with the fur and more saturated colour on it as well. But the new costume is pretty cool, it looks more hightech, which is what a Fox should look like, for sure.

Man, that trailer on Gt looked so awesome.

 

[Stryks]

I personally dont like his look, the ds look, he look cool with the gun always in his hands and the new stuff, but couldnt they add that to his assault look?!

 

[Zombie Cola]

His gun looks like it's made out of PVC piping. Hopefully those boots and that forehead will be too big for the shine to fit around.

 

[Naota-Kun]

I honestly am glad Fox is returning but his knew look is aweful. That terrible look from Star Fox Command. It looks like he's deformed or a St. Bernard with Parkingsons Disease. He's definately going to need a Reflector upgrade from his crew to fit it around him.

 

[Fox P McCloud]

When I first saw this picture I was a bit shocked. As a matter of fact, I thought "GAH! MY eyes! IT looks awful".

However, after watching the trailer quite a bit, I'd have to say that I think this model is near perfect; the boots really aren't that bad (my biggest original complaint)...And if you look close enough, he does have fur detail. His head could use a little work, but it's not that bad, at all. The only thing I detest about this new model is that he now has bright green eyes. Seriously, what's up with that? Fox is supposed to have BLUE eyes! (for the Smath Brothers series, anyway).

I'm hoping that Fox's fighting style will have changed drastically; perhaps instead of focusing so much on kicking, he'll focus more on other moves...I kind of doubt this, but it's what I'm hoping for.

The octagonal thing on Fox's belt? Maybe it's a proximity mine? Heheh, that'd be kind of cool if he started each match with one. Cheap, but cool.

Oh, and for those who don't know it yet, he's wearing German officers boots.
