Introduction
Fox appears in SSB as a speedy but weak character. He ranks 2nd due to his speed, which is unmatched in almost every aspect. His attacks tend to have less knockback than other character's; however, this gives him excellent comboing abilities. Like Pikachu, he heavily counters four characters. Fox overall has the best setup of matchups on Hyrule, but does weaker on Dreamland as there is less room to camp and space vs gimp-based characters like Donkey Kong, Pikachu, and Captain Falcon. What separates Fox from Pikachu is Pikachu's recovery and edge-guarding ability.
