[[File:SmashFox.png|125px|right|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:SmashFox.png|125px|right|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.

==== Fighter Description ==== | |||
Following his dead father's footsteps as the young leader of the Star Fox Team, Fox McCloud's piloting of the super-high-performance combat ship ARWING for the Lylatian System is still fresh in our memories. His one weakness may be his difficulty earning the trust of his teammates. | |||

[[File:FoxMelee.png|125px|left|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:FoxMelee.png|125px|left|thumb|Fox's artwork from ''Super Smash Bros.

| melee_description =Fox is among the quickest and nimblest of the Smash Bros. characters. His speed is offset by low firepower, however, and he's better at one-on-one fights than melees with multiple foes. His Blaster is unique: it does damage but it doesn't make enemies flinch. His Fox illusion is best used as a surprise attack. | | melee_description =[[File:FoxTrophyAdventure.png|left|150px]]Fox is among the quickest and nimblest of the Smash Bros. characters.

[[File:FoxBrawl.png|125px|right|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. | |||

==== The Subspace Emissary ==== | |||
[[File:Subspace_fox.PNG|thumb|left|Fox's introduction image in ''The Subspace Emissary''.]]Fox was first seen in ''The Subspace Emissary'' flying over Pit and Mario in his Arwing and following the Battleship Halberd. His ship was unfortunately shot down, accidentally taking a nearby Kirby and whichever princess Kirby had saved with him. | |||
Fox's Arwing crash landed by a lake shore in a jungle. The wreckage was soon found by Diddy Kong, who was then attacked by the legendary Pokemon, Rayquaza. Fox ejected from his Arwing just in time to save Diddy from the dragon. The two then teamed up to defeat Rayquaza. Fox intended to go it alone after the battle, but Diddy constantly asked him to help him save Donkey Kong. Fox continued to say no, but was soon dragged away by Diddy. The two fought through the jungle until they found a false Bowser. Fox and Diddy defeated Bowser only to realize it was a clone. The real Bowser shot Fox with a Dark Cannon, but Fox dodged and carried Diddy away from Bowser. | |||
Fox and Diddy are later seen fighting through another part of the jungle. Fox watched as Diddy was ambushed by Bowser and turned into a trophy. Fox was then targeted by Bowser, but dodged until Falco came to his rescue. Diddy was then possessed by a group of Shadow Bugs by Bowser and untrophified by Fox. The three defeated the giant false Diddy while Bowser escaped. Diddy then attempted to get Falco to help him find Diddy. Fox told Falco that he should agree, but Falco didn't listen and was also dragged away by Diddy. They soon found the Smash Skiff where Donkey Kong's trophy was imprisoned. Fox then called the Great Fox for transportation. | |||
[[File:SubspaceFoxArwing.jpg|right|thumb|Fox flying his Arwing while battling the Halberd.]] | |||
Fox had seperated from Falco and Diddy and went after the Halberd again. He was shot again by the Halberd, but kept the Arwing in the sky this time. Fox blasted the Halberd's cannon, nearly hitting Peach, who was scaling the Halberd's bridge with Sheik. To defend Peach, Sheik used her Vanish technique to appear on Fox's Arwing and shatter the cockpit glass sending both Fox and herself plummeting to the Halberd. The two rushed each other, but Peach interuptted, and offered both a cup of hot tea. Fox was caught off guard, but accepted when he saw that Sheik had taken some. After they finished, they were surprised by a group of false Mr. Game and Watches falling from the bridge. The Shadow Bugs that made up the false characters combined to form the massive robot named Duon. Fox, Peach, and Sheik were soon joined by Meta Knight, Lucario, and Snake. Falco also joined after finishing his mission with Diddy. The seven heroes defeated Duon and, when Mr. Game and Watch's trophy appeared, Fox pointed his blaster at it, but Peach stopped him and woke up Mr. Game and Watch. | |||
[[File:SubspaceTabuuHeroes.jpg|left|thumb|The first of the heroes to reach Tabuu.]]Fox met up with the other heroes after the destruction of the Isle of Ancients. His Arwing was one of the several ships that escaped the destruction of the Halberd and Fox followed Kirby and the other ships into Subspace. After clearing part of Subspace, Fox and the other heroes found Tabuu defeating Ganondorf. All the heroes were immediately defeated by Tabuu's Off Wave attack. Fox was found and awoken by King Dedede, Luigi, and Ness and teamed up with other heroes saved by Dedede's team and the heroes saved by Kirby and fought Tabuu. Fox and the other heroes defeated Tabuu and all the Subspace portals disappeared. The heroes that defeated Tabuu, including Fox then looked from a cliff at where the floating Isle of Ancients used to be. | |||
