Difference between revisions of "Fox McCloud"

The two years following the fall of the Aparoids were not particularly kind to Fox McCloud. While he was proud of Peppy leaving to become the general of the Cornerian Army, he then did something he was not proud of. Ever since they met, Fox had silently loved Krystal, but he knew the dangers of being a pilot in the Star Fox team. He decided to fire Krystal from the team. After that, the team began to fall apart. Sometime later, the [[Anglar]] attacked and Fox, unable to go back to his former team and friends, went after them with only ROB 64 as an ally.

Fox and his two friends were all surprised when Peppy joined them on their mission to Titania. Upon claiming a machine to neutralize the acidity of the Venom Sea, Fox made a life changing decision. Fox decided that he would quit the Star Fox team after this mission. He realized that this life is what caused him to push Krystal away. After the decimation of the Anglar, Fox finds Krystal on Sauria after dissolving the Star Fox team. He promised to spend the rest of his life with her. Years later, the Fox and Krystal were married and had a son named Marcus.

Fox and Slippy decided to meet up with Falco on Aquas. The trio helped free Aquas of the Anglar with the help of Slippy's fiancee, Amanda. Fox then got extremely bad news from Falco, Krystal had joined Star Wolf. He then got a message from Peppy that the Anglar were following him through the Asteroid Belt. The team cut through [[Sector X]] and found Krystal along the way the two apologized to each other and got on their way. The team together destroyed the Anglar in the Asteroid Belt. Fox then encountered Star Wolf and found them to have really calmed down. Fox was glad to once again have Krystal with him, but had not yet confessed his love to her. Despite having a good friendship with him, Krystal could no longer stand to be with Fox. While Krystal left to be with Star Wolf, Fox broke down and was once again left alone and unloved.

Fox and Falco followed Wolf to Sector Y only to find him gone and the remains of the robot that had absorbed Pigma. Fox attacked Pigma had made an alliance with Wolf. The duo destroyed Pigma, but Fox lost all hope when he heard the message Star Wolf broadcasted across the system. When he realized everything Wolf's team had taken from him, Fox suggested that he and Falco leave the Lylat system and go to the planet Papetoon. Fox lived on Papetoon, but only barely as he rarely ate and was often in and out of sickness. Falco soon had the idea of the two joining the G-Zero racing division. There, Fox and Falco became household names and they left behind the memories of Star Fox.

[[File:SmashFox.png|125px|left|thumb|Fox's artwork from ''Super Smash Bros.''.]]Fox's character build is based on his appearance in ''Star Fox 64'' and is the sole representative of his series. Other than Captain Falcon, he is the fastest character in the game. He is a light-weight character and has the best jump in the game. His standard attacks mostly focus on punches and kicks. His standard special attack is his blaster, which causes his targets to flinch. His down special attack activates his Reflector. The Reflector was built by Slippy and uses similar technology as the Arwing's barrel roll to reflect enemy projectiles. His recovery move is the Fire Fox which engulfs Fox in flames allowing him to rocket forward. Both Fox and Captain Falcon are the only characters to have their moves completely created for the game. In one-player mode, he is fought on the Sector Z stage under normal circumstances.  

[[File:FoxMelee.png|125px|right|thumb|Fox's artwork from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]Fox returns in the second game, ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. This time, his character build is based on his appearance in the original ''Star Fox'' game. He is once again the second fastest character in the game behind Captain Falcon. Fox's blaster now allows for rapid fire, but no longer stuns the enemy. He also can now use the move Fox Illusion, which allows Fox to rush forward extremely fast, leaving blue Fox mirages behind him. His up and down special moves remain the same from the original game.

[[File:FoxBrawl.png|125px|left|thumb|Fox's artwork from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]]Once again, Fox returns as a starter character in the latest game in the series, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. He was the first character to be revealed after game's unveiling trailer.<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/fox.html</ref> Fox's character build this time comes from ''Star Fox Command'', but with a more realistic looking appearance. This makes him similar to Toon Link in terms of character build construction. While his speed remained the same, the addition of Sonic and Zero Suit Samus lowered him to fourth top speed. All his special moves are mostly the same as they were in ''Melee'' with his standard moves getting some new animations. His Final Smash summons a Landmaster Tank allowing him to blast and roll over enemies.
