Smash Lord
Mindgames aren't accounted for in tiers, fox CAN be good. As can any other character.

Seems I overestimated this community once again.
Pitiful.
Can we please play nice boys?Keep the insults to yourself.
Sorry for the double post, but please dont group the entire Fox comunity together <.< I know what make my character tick, and I know he isn't the end all fights character MK is. He's Decent nothing more, but his tier placing is partly due to his lack of players, and out of the few players that do use him, only a handful use him correctly, as I metioned in an earlier post. I'm on a mission to fix that, but my journey has only begun.*sigh* why is the whole Fox communities only argument ever "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND FOX".
Honestly... You guys should realise that you -naive- ones must not understand the game too well. Fox is an okay character, reflected by his mid tier status.
Whatever 'mind games' you use are things nearly every character has; but they're not exactly so amazing that it forces the opponent into something OR is totally safe anyway.
What moves are you using? The only moves that have horrible cooldown is uair and fsmash.Through my experiences with Fox, I'm going to have to say that Emblem Lords assesment of Fox is fairly accurate, minus a few tid bits here and there. Fox is one of the few Fair characters in brawl, what makes a character fair? Fairness is when: The weakness' of a character are balanced out with his strengths. Several things keep Fox from being anything more than decent, compared to the broken ( broken: when a characters strenths and weakness' are widely gapped in difference) characters. 1. the range of most his attacks leave alot to be desired, one could say that speed is the remedy to this problem, but due to the lack of hit stun, this is not the case. 2. Fox is extremely light. Sure he can KO early, but he gets KO'd just as early. Its balanced, thus that advantage is really a nulled. 3. As for the combos, while they are useful, they are sometimes unreliable, ie they cant preform the same way every time, and quite punishable if missed. 4. The last thing I'd like to mention is the fact that 80% of fox's moves are extremely fast coming out, but just as fast as they came, are gone with cool down that lasts more than long enough for a brutal punish if blocked (which isn't hard). See, the thing is, this is brawl, not melee. Speed is a plus but it isn't what determines the victor here, ever notice how moves that are spamed are multi hitting smashes(Zeldas U-smash, Robs D-smash), projectiles that are quick with decent stopping power (Wolfs laser, pits arrows, TLs arrows), and high priority, low cool down attacks( Luigis Bair, G & W in general,) Then theres MK, and Snake (no explenation needed). <--- That is what works in brawl effectively, and thats why its spammed. Does fox posses anythin in that list...? Well thats my take on it, view it as you please. I mained Fox in the original smash, I mained him in melee, I main him now, and I'm pretty sure I'll main him in SSB4 (if there is one). Hes my favorite character in the roster, hes fun to play, and he impressive to be good with. That why I enjoy playing, and it sure as hell isn't because picking him is an easy win.
ok im going to try and debate but i will probably be shot and dragged into a riverIn this way at least we could educate the people reading this. Anyway, you said that I was wrong in my last analysis. So correct me. I don't believe I'm wrong of course. But that's not what a debate is about really. It's not about who is right or wrong. It's about the presentation of evidence backed up by logical explanation for the benefit of the listeners/readers.
So...debate.
first an opinion cannot be right as it is point a viewDoesn't change the fact that Fox isn't that good. So in this case my biased opinion happens to be correct.

No, that's the point of a tier list - to show what each character is capable of, and if both are playing at their best, how one-sided it is.A character's tier does NOT always represent how good that character is when played at it's top level,
A6MZero =/= the entire community, thank you very much.Seems I overestimated this community once again.
Even then, Uair can be auto cancel'dWhat moves are you using? The only moves that have horrible cooldown is uair and fsmash.
Lol, i'm actually a Sheik main.....I love her to death. But with her lack of ko power, I picked up Zelda and fell in love with her as well.Haha, Marsulas I see you contribute to the Luigi boards, Zelda, now Fox. Who do you main for crying out loud?
Cool, any chance we could get some vids of you?Ok so I'm from TX I main Fox and at my last tourny i played all fox But if it helps you guys at all i went 2-0 with dmk if you know who that is he is a good mk ..... I also play dojo (MK) and santi (TL) every day i know them we live in a same town we are going to HOBO 11 and i hope to do well
(sorry for any spelling)
Exactly. That's how you get punished and lose stocks.Just stay aware of the game, don't get drawn into doing things that won't work. The most important thing is to not let Fox's ease of play draw you away from what actually works.
