Discuss Fox specific gameplay here.

Damn Fox feels nice now !
With the increased falling speed, it's more fun than it has ever been to just run around throwing SHFF nairs/bairs.
Also upthrow => upair now doesn't work at higher percentages, which is a good thing imo. You have to use it at the right time.
Also reverse bair is now possible, that's a good thing
I have troubles landing falling upairs against a small character like Jigglypuff. Don't know if it's actually possible, doesn't look like it.
Anyway so far I like 0.9b Fox.

I haven't tried him out yet, but in 0.9a the hitbox for his uairs appeared to only be his legs and in Melee the hitbox also includes his lower torso (so SHFF uairs after jab resets were possible). So thats why you have a hard time hitting the small guys.

Ah ok. Against taller characters it's possible but now because of the high falling speed I think it's impossible to hit him with the 2 hits of the move, only one will hit him. Or maybe it's possible but it's extremely difficult then, has to be frame-perfect.

wasn't this always possible?

Uh, well whenever I tried to hit the opponent with a bair when running at them it would send them behind me.
Now it sends them forward.
Maybe it was possible but then it was really difficult cuz I've tried many times and it never worked.
Now as long as you're facing the opponent when you bair them it works.
Like C.Falon's bair. Or Sheik's. I could do it without much of a problem with these two. It's only with Fox I never managed to do it.

Nah dw you are right its a new hitbox

oh yeah, the hitboxes are different, but reverse BAir worked in 0.9a aswell, It was more difficult to connect the appropriate hitbox out of a SH though

I think the hitbox always launched the opponents behind Fox until now, good eye

...wait I'm mistaken reverse BAir for Dash cancel > reverse > BAir
*my mistake

Due to the sliding changes in this version, Fox has a better horizontal combo game!

Jumping out of a shine while moving forward now retains -much- more horizontal momentum. Due to this change Fox has gained a ton of additional mobility after connecting with a properly spaced running shine or short hopped aerial. For example, he may now shine nair an opponent across the entire stage.

Doing an aerial into a shine grab no longer transfers momentum from the aerial into the grab!
Any aerial linked into a shine grab is a lot scarier and can now properly lead into an up-throw up air.

Fox is becoming really good in this version, I think he might be perfect soon!

SHFF's are really fun now.
Nair > Shine is awesome.
Blaster shots look fancy.
Easy high-top tier material.

Fox is shaping up nicely, though his recovery is almost as bad as his N64 one.

Fox vs Zelda on WarioWare is so bad for fox omg lol

Man, I can't play this character XD

Fall speed OP

Zelda has too many tools to shut down Fox, she needs a bit of priority nerf or something.
That, and Fox stinks on small stages



Lol, it takes tech skill man.
