Fox looks awesome for my eyes, face included. It now looks more like a videogame character and adds variety to the SSB cast.

If the new dash attack sux we can always jumpcancel his dash into an usmash :p

Looks like the same old fox. He's probably slower now because he is described as "one of many so-called speed characters" instead of the fastest character in the game.
Captain Falcon was the fastest Character in the game

This is, by a significant margin, the best design for Fox ever. I have yet to see an image of him in Brawl where he didn't look ridiculously amazing. This is especially nice after his overly-generic and uninteresting style in Melee, although they admitedly had nothing to work with beyond Star Fox 64, so there was a certain required amount of invention there. But this blows all previous versions out of the sky.

I must say Fox is one of the coolest looking character next to Pit and Mario in Brawl. It's time I've learned how to use him. I wonder what other Star Fox characters might look like.

They could've given me just that pic with firefox and I'd be happy [well, not really, but it does brighten up the blog]. It looks so sweet ^.^ I hope SWF adds that to the avatar selection so I can use it.

Ah yes, and I remember when the entire Brawl forum was just people *****ing about how horrible Fox looked and how badly his appearance had been ruined...

Dumb *****es.

Totally. :laugh:

After you get used to the boots (considering how their design is a departure from what we saw in Melee), the model for Fox is clearly and undeniably the best he's had. It works well for Brawl, too.

I really like how they took some of the best parts of all Fox's styles, updated them, and combined them with his Command look. It's great to see that, while Fox looks somewhat similar in ways to previous models, he's still unique and fresh. This is what gives me hope for other returning characters; I can't wait to see how Sakurai and Sora handled remodeling those we know so well from Melee.

thought he looked pretty **** good. Only thing I saw was that fox looked sort of "younger" appearing. Sort of like the baby face of a fox :p

Er... Not really. Shiek was the fastest possible character, while Fox had the fastest potential speed (although no one could really use it).
Captain Falcon is the fastest
Yoshi has the highest jump
Link has the best long range arseanal
Mario has the best all around move-set

It's all in the Super Smash instruction booklet....

When it comes to running, it is true that Falcon is the fastest. But when it comes to moves, Fox excels there.
Yeah thats what i mean

The official Nintendo SSBM guide gave Kirby a 4/5 for power.
As a rule of thumb, always assume that whatever Nintendo says about their games (except for the most basic info) is inaccurate.

Anyway, Falcon has the fastest dash speed (unless you're Fox-trotting with Fox).

Heh, speaking of the official Nintendo Melee guide, does anyone own a copy? Has it been scanned online or something? I used to collect a few Nintendo Power guides, and I'd love to see the Melee one.

Falcon and Fox have equal speed at a full run (tested with an AR on the home run contest stage, they both kept up at full run) though Fox can be faster with Foxtrotting.

. . . .Is it just me or did the post info for this update sound kinda ". . .Meh"?

I mean, he used ". . . " so much and he didn't put one "!".

This was a . . . .meh, update to me (he sounded bored too. . . ). Mainly because if Yos aint confirmed than I dont care about his stage which I knew a good deal about. . and it lacked excitement mean't (Throw me a few !!! here or there. )

Oh well, tomorrow is another day (^_^).

Plus the stage seemed kind of...meh...okay the seasons chage, the center platform tilits, there are shy guys, and there is a ghost that comes up to save you every once in a while...I think they could have done better with it ^^;;Its probably just the way the stage looks consisting of 1 tilting platform -_- thats the only thing that bugs me
