Most of you probably are aware of this, but I wanted to bring it to everyone's attention.
Fox has less cooldown time on his pivot grab than his dash grab. I am of the belief that you should always dash cancel shield grab or pivot grab. In fact throw dash grabbing out of your game completely dcsg is faster anyways.
Pivot grabbing with Fox is nasty. Fthrow is actually good now. Fthrow to another grab is a nice little mix up that you can use every once in a while. In fact just fthrow to another grab then the next time they'll most likely spotdodge and you can land another one. Fthrow can actually be a tech chase.
Dthrow is nice against heavies. I've found that unless they expect it, you can land the pivot grab everytime. After you dthrow them they're doing only a couple things.
1. Worrying about the fair followup. They'll throw out an attack as they're coming back down which will almost always be a horizontal attack, get behind them fast enough and you have yourself another grab.
2. Worrying about the sliding usmash. Anytime someone sees lil Foxy running after them, they always are conscious of the usmash. This means they will airdodge into the ground or land quickly and shield........need I say more. I have a vid against a Falco user that i'm going to try to get Chaos leader to put up with me using the dthrow to another one.
I'm utilizing Foxs' grab game more and more as my game develops and I think his grab game can become lethal. The range on his grab is good, he has the fastest pivot grab in the game, and his speed makes his dash into shield so good for his grab game. The other day I went from one side of FD to the other just mindgaming this person into me getting more grabs. Use his grab game more people, don't always look just to get the basic utilt early percentage combos.....everyone is now expecting this. Us Fox players have to improve our game to add more validity to our player. It seems that because some of you don't know what the hell your doing, myself and others are believed to play a character that only has dair and usmash.......stop doing Fox like that...treat Mr. McCloud with some respect
Good players spotdodge to avoid grabs almost always, I believe pivot grabbing is what can take you from decent to good OVERNIGHT. I may seem a little over enthusiastic with this, but i'm just trying to stress how good this is. Lol, just something I wanted to share with you guys.
