Fox (V)

Fox (フォックス, Fox), the leader of the Star Fox team, returns as a playable character for the fifth time in Super Smash Bros. V. He was confirmed along with Link, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Kirby, Yoshi, Samus, Captain Falcon, Pit, Alm and Inkling in the Official SSBV Trailer + Inkling Reveal Trailer shown at E3 in 2017. His appearance is pretty much the same as it was in Star Fox Zero.
Fox is once again voiced by his SSB4 voice actor, Mike West, who recorded new lines for Fox, whilst Kenji Nojima reprises his role in the Japanese release, albeit through recycled voice clips from SSB4.
==Changes from Smash 4==
===Aesthetics===
Fox's appearance is based on that in Star Fox Zero.
Like every other veteran, Fox now appears much more vibrant and his appearance is more based off its appearance in its games with a small realistic touch.
===Attributes===
No Changes.
===Ground Attacks===
Up smash power slightly increased.
===Aerial Attacks===
Back air power and knockback slightly decreased.
===Grabs and Throws===
No Changes.
===Special Moves===
No Changes.
==Special Moves==
Move 	Name 	Damage 	Description
Neutral Special	Blaster 	1.4% (far), 2%, or 3% (close) 	Fox fires his blaster, which can fire rapidly but doesn't stun the opponent. The lasers lose power as they travel.
Side Special 	Fox Illusion	3% 	Fox becomes invisible and suddenly dashes through opponents, leaving behind after-images. Fox will send opponents at an upwards angle on contact.
Up Special 	Fire Fox 	2% (charging hits 1-7), 14% (clean dash), 8% (late dash) 	Fox charges up and suddenly fires himself in one of many directions, depending on what direction is held.
Down Special 	Reflector 	2% (activation), 1.4x damage (reflected projectiles) 	Fox activates a Reflector around him. All projectiles are deflected and do more damage than they normally would. The Reflector damages nearby foes upon activation.
Final Smash 	Landmaster 	5% (activation), 5-17% (ram), 13% (turning around), 11% (roll), 12 (landing) 8% (cannon while firing), 15% (cannon projectile)	Fox calls in a Landmaster. While piloting it, Fox can drive it around and hover by holding down the jump button. The Landmaster also has many methods of attacking, such as firing the laser turret and running over foes. Fox's version lasts longer than Falco's, but has a lower air speed.
==Animations and Misc.==
===Taunts===
Up - Fox charges up a fiery field around himself similarly to when he performs Fire Fox, saying "Here I come!".
Side - Fox backs up, bends down slightly, and says "Come on!" whilst waving his hand in a beckoning gesture.
Down - Fox throws his Blaster into the air, then allows it to land back into its holster.
Smash Taunt - When fighting as Fox on the Lylat Cruise stage, quickly tap down on the directional pad once and he will kneel down and seem as though he is trying to communicate with someone through a device, and then stand back up, at which point a conversation will begin with another character from the Star Fox universe.
===Character Selection Screen Animation===
Character Select - Fox uses Fox Illusion and dashes towards the screen, and appears facing the left or right.
Stage Select - Basically his side taunt.
===On Screen Appearance===
Ejects from an Arwing. Nearly identical to Falco, Wolf, and Dovahkiin's appearance.
===Victory Animations===
Poses with his blaster, saying "Mission complete!"
Spins his Blaster and re-holsters it, saying "This is Fox, returning to base." If Falco is present during the match, there is a chance that Fox might instead say "Better luck next time, Falco."
Crosses his arms, looks upward, and raises his tail. This is based upon his "character chosen" animation and taunt in Super Smash Bros.
===Losing Animation===
Fox is seen clapping with his back slightly turned to the left.
===Crowd Cheer===
“Fox! Fox! Fox!”
===Victory Theme===
A victory theme directly from Brawl and SSB4 based on that of the main theme of Star Fox 64, most specifically the title screen theme.
===Idle Poses===
Does a Tae Kwon Do fighting stance and takes a deep breath.
Holds out his hand and makes a beckoning gesture, as if performing his down taunt.
