Fox (SSBD)

Fox McCloud (or フォックス) is an anthropomorphic Fox, and the leader of the mercenary group known as Star Fox. Although he is sarcastic and slightly rude, he has a strong sense of justice, and is always there to help the Lylat System. He makes sure what is best for his crew, no matter what. Fox does have a soft side, as he holds romantic interest in Krystal, but keeps this to himself. He and Star Fox rival with the notorious Wolf O'Donnell, leader of Star Wolf.
Fox is ranked dead last on The Super Smash Bros. Dispute Tier List. in which he is in the G tier all by himself. This is a drastic drop from his 7TH out of 58. In every other Smash game, Fox were ranked top tier, making this game the first Smash game in which Fox is one of The Low Tier characters. Fox still retains his awesome mobility in his attacks, however everything, dashing speed, jump height, damage percentages, everything has been nerfed, and received absolutely no buffs. The projectile in his Blaster can now damage himself, which can cause 30% damage. His reflector is no longer an anti-camping move, making it harder for Fox. His approach options are very low as he is no longer one of the fastest characters in the game. His up smash is also no longer a KO move, and his combo game has been drastically nerfed as they don't have knockback. He also has a low air speed, an ineffective projectile in his Blaster, and numerous other flaws both on the ground and in the air prevent Fox from easily approaching enemies, and he struggles against almost all characters as a result of this. Alot of professional players say that Fox isn't good as he used to before, and has no setbacks either. Fox also has arguably the worst matchups in the entire game, with only one even matchup with Mario, and even that can Get disputable.
==Changes From Smash 4==
All Fox received were just nerfs in the transition from SSB4 to Dispute, and received no buffs which is why professional Smashers say that he is terrible. Fox's neutral game is less effective, with increased lag on his aerials and a weakened camping game due to the removal of auto-canceling on his Blaster. This means Fox can no longer safely bait as many bad approaches from his opponents. Additionally, some of his finishers (such as up smash and back aerial) have been weakened. He is lighter, and the changes to hitstun canceling makes him even easier to combo at low percentages and worsens his endurance. One of his most significant nerfs was to his Reflector, which can no longer allow him to stall in the air effectively due to its drastically increased ending lag, and can no longer semi-spike, making it much less effective overall.

==Special Attacks==
Special Move 	Title 	Description 	Damage
Neutral Special	Blaster 	Fox fires a laser from his Blaster. The fastest projectile used by any character in the game, but it does not make opponents flinch, unlike in the previous game. It is mainly used from long range as short hop lasers or short hop double lasers to camp and bring up damage for an u-throw into uair combo or a u-smash. If used on the ground, there is ending lag. This attack has transcendent priority. 	1%
Side Special 	Fox Illusion	Fox dashes forward, leaving an afterimage behind him. A fairly quick but linear horizontal recovery move. Can be shortened at different distances by pressing the B button again on specific frames. 	3%
Up Special 	Fire Fox 	Fox charges up in flames and blasts off in a direction, which can be controlled with the control stick. Unreliable as an attack due to the charge time. Can damage opponents during the charging. Less predictable than illusion given the ability to angle, but still a fairly linear recovery. Techniques such as mangling and sweetspotting give it potent mixups. Has next to no landing lag making it hard to punish on landing and is overall considered the best Recovery Up B in the game due to its distance and mixup potential. It was nerfed in the PAL version of melee however. 	7%
Down Special 	Reflector 	Informally referred to as the Shine, it reflects any projectiles that hit it right back at the opponent who fired them for 1.5x damage and knockback. This move has low set knockback, but is an extremely useful semi-spike as it can drag opponents offstage while edgeguarding, to prevent them from recovering - it stuns them as well. Due to the set knockback, it has guaranteed followups on much of the cast at any percentage. The move can be jump cancelled to avoid the ending lag, allowing Fox to quickly jump up offstage (after using a spike, for example), and it also gives him access to the waveshine technique. Fox has invincibility on the first frame of the animation. Considered one of the best moves in the entire game and the best Down B in the game along with Falco's.	1%
Final Smash 	Landmaster 	Fox summons his Landmaster. It's overall the most balanced out of all The Arwing, & The Wolfen. It's only drawback being it's air mobility 	6-22% (movement), 15-16% (turn), 17% (shot), 11% (roll), 15% (fall)
==Taunts==
*Up Taunt: Fox charges fire and says "Here I come!" (いくぞ, Let's go!). This taunt can be used for faking Fox's Up Special.
*Side Taunt: Fox throws his Blaster into the air, then allows it to land back into its holster.
*Down Taunt: Like in Melee, Fox backs up, bends down a bit, and says "Come on!" (かかってこい, Come at me!), although it seems faster.
Smash taunt: On The Aquas Or Lylat Cruise, Fox can summon various Star Fox Conversations by quickly tapping down on the Control Pad (for one frame). However this is similar to the Snake's codecs where he will instead talk about each individual fighter. This taunt can only be used once per match.
==Tier Placement And History==
As soon as Dispute released, many competitive players noticed many of Fox's drastic nerfs. They felt his nerfs were extremely too drastic that they felt he was defiantly in dead last. His nerfs were too terrible in fact that many competitive players consider Fox the joke character of the game. Fox has ranked dead last in every tier list, and won no tournaments ever. Since this, their are no competitive players that play Fox, and because of this, competitive players consider Fox unarguably the worst character in the game.
