Marth on FD, bar none. Marth gets one grab and Fox dies.Not really a fox main, just curious as to what people think is fox's worst matchup.
I watched the first couple of minutes, most Marths can chaingrab a lot better than that.Look, if you play it right and camp then Marth has nothing, this is my gameplay btw. https://youtu.be/zsLwEePvyCU?t=322
What is the Samus matchup anyways? Is it even?As one of the top 5 characters in the game, he doesn't really have any disadvantaged match-ups. He does have challenging ones though, and if you don't know what you're doing simply being Fox is not enough. You will get beat into the pavement if you don't know how to exploit weaknesses in match-ups and properly utilize Fox's strengths.
Awkward match-ups that can catch you off guard: Samus, Luigi (*FD especially), Ice Climbers (*Wobbling especially), Ganon (*his range can be problematic if you're unfamiliar with the MU)
Match-ups that are close to even or slight advantage for Fox can all be potentially problematic. It depends on your playstyle, their playstyle, and what character they play. Just saying "Fox wins" is not the same as being able to beat them all in tournament, you need to know how. If you don't...Marth, Sheik, Fox, Puff, Peach, Falcon can VERY easily send you home, 0-2 with a pat on the back.
And do missiles somewhat make fox's camping a bit more difficult?Samus is even or 55 in Fox's favour. Both answers are acceptable and have good reasoning. The main concern vs Samus is everything that makes Fox amazing either doesn't work (uthrow combos, upB oos beats shield pressure) or is highly inconsistent (dair is SDIed, nair is easily CCed, gimping is rare).
Only thing left is lasers and playing a solid % racking game. But it's lame and slow and no Foxes aside from DJ Nintendo has the patience to do it consistently against the best Samuses. Leffen and others get rocked, Armada just goes Peach.
