Idk why ppl dont watch guide for other characters as it can help so much with learning the mu's thank you light

[@Spyder-Marth]

Exactly! I started watching guides for other characters I struggle against and I've learned so much useful counterplay.

[@sams802]

I feel like Fox a character that opens up so much posisbilities.

[@Bongobjork]

Was thinking of getting back to smash and learn a new character while waiting for Tekken 8. This poppin' in my recommends is golden right now

[@zer0cx110]

Finally ! A GOOD fox tutorial!! All the other ones are too short and not enuff info

[@osrsgold2547]

Sweet video 😼🔥 ty Light n Metafy

[@CommanderCalico]

Light is the GOAT!

[@brydenknowshisgun8486]

HOLY SHIT LIGHT ????!!!

[@Gonsoi]

what happend to the series, i wanted to pay for it but there's no series anymore?? just 404 ??

[@lohann1845]

whats is strong nair and soft nair guys ??

[@TheFantasticWarrior]

Fox nair starts off strong and becomes weak after a little time, nair is neutral air where you press A without holding a direction

[@arabmunny]

He lowkey look like a toothless lil man baby but fire guide even tho I don’t play this game

[@cesarmarroquin9930]

Im hunting for a Hero guide...Guess ill make my own guide and it'll be better than all the hero main guides

[@EliRelief]

A fox guide with Light and no comments? let me fix that 😎

[@goosnavslakovic4908]

Don't worry lad. The algorithm caught up

[@xxMaki]

Yes 🙌

[@ImAlbert420]

Your not cool

[@AbacaReveck]

People don't realize how valuable this video is. Many thanks and props to Light for creating this guide, and to Metafy for making it publicly available.

[@ShirakoriMio]

Something he didn't mention: Fox has a niche laser slide that doubles his air speed while simultaneously firing a ground-level laser. At roll-distance from ledge or the edge of a platform, you can use it to open with damage and positioning on battlefield, and against long but helpless recoveries (of which there are very few), you can use it offstage into a VERY far rising f-air, drift back at the end, and just barely make it back onstage with a 11/1 o clock-ish angle (the situations this kills in are super rare, but the speed and distance at which it happens absolutely catches people off guard in those rare matchups. Almost useless otherwise because his ledge trapping is 95% of the time just the better option). It's more a movement option to quickly fly off platforms and chase enemies or tack on an extra laser while pursuing an enemy. It's not that useful but it is technically optimal in some situations and does a lot to alleviate his slow movement in the air when trying to close distances. Laser slide is done by dashing (flick the stick, don't hold it), pressing and holding B, then running (hold the stick this time) the same direction. The faster you do it and the longer you hold the stick, the longer and faster the slide will be. It sends you fastest off ledges around the middle of the slide since it has this weird ease-in ease-out momentum to it. No one mentions retreating short hop reverse B lasers either since everyone just does grounded turnaround lasers, but doing the aerial version is a more fine tuned way to camp right outside someone's range since it has more distance and you can always choose to do the B reverse vs the reverse B. Slingshot wavebounce laser is another fine tuned mix up if you're able to safely camp your opponent/in that kind of a matchup. Obviously not a go-to option, but not a bad mix up if you're just observing habits and want to add laser damage.

[@simondemanet2049]

Light thank you very much for that content it will be appreciated on its own value You are Foxrmidable

[@jj6148]

I wonder if they could get Marss to do one of these for zss.

[@fleap817]

Hahahaha

[@tomcampbell8934]

How the hell do people get so good at doing bair after a down tilt. Especially short hop bair.

[@hieuduong2213]

Rar?

[@John_Dusty]

It’s called a Rar, lemme find a video for you

[@wawazawi]

UH OH, BACK TO THE LAB AGAIN (search for gimr slingshot)

[@tomcampbell8934]

@@John_Dusty I can do those, but is that the same idea when connecting a back air to a down tilt? Or like Roy’s jab to back air. Do you have to do the rar input for both of those?

[@TheFantasticWarrior]

​​@@tomcampbell8934irar(instant rar) is slightly different in that it's more difficult, you have to not push forward before leaving ground or you'll turn back to forward again Also make sure you do it after the end lag ends

Just let off the left stick a little earlier. I struggle too. It's a lot of practice

I know this might be a stretch but I would appreciate matchup guides like the GnW matchup.

[@okiessb2018]

light kinda looks toothless ngl. he could pass

[@ugosinache22]

Light teaching Fox mains to wait and see what their opponent does is only going to get their Fox joy off jajajajaja mashing is like breathing for some characters

[@cesarsaborio3776]

I’m a complete noob in this game but I really wanna learn and I like Fox, for the controller setup, should stick jump be on or off? And how about sensitivity? And Smash stick or tilt stick? Thanks a lot

[@SonOfIzalith]

No tap jump, never For the rest, do your tests. There's no optimal way or optimal settings, it's all about how you feel

[@Agc0315]

Light 😃 the best player 💪🏻

[@ulquiorra7446]

can someone tell me the difference between a soft and hard attack? like soft nair and hard nair for example. also how do you auto cancel foxs dair?

[@Bouncy_Block]

soft nair is when the nair hits later and the hard nair is when it hits right as it comes out. and you auto cancel dair by doing it into the ground.

[@Cheda_Cheesey]

I went from 13 mil gsp to 8 mil with fox in 1 day what the fuuuuuck

[@StardustOwO]

Gsp means nothing. There are people with items in elite…. Play arenas or on streams instead :3 watch “the impeccable one”

I find tilts very difficult to use without tilt stick how should I do them in your opinion?

[@SonOfIzalith]

With tilt stick if you struggle without lmao Otherwise practice They're not that hard to do without the c stick I still use c stick because of muscle memory tho but the only problem with doing them without the c stick is ftilt, especially if you have to angle it, it can lead to some misinputs, but again, practice will get you there

[@FlatulentFF]

This is a free preview, you have to pay on their website to see the rest, unless someone pirated it

[@PrismaX2]

Whats nair bruh

[@TheFantasticWarrior]

nair is neutral air where you press A without holding a direction, bair is back air etc

[@AiZm8]

this is so sick!! I hope there is an Aegis one like this that comes out with the same level of detail as this

[@JaCrispySSB]

As a fox player, I disagree with smash stick. If I’m going for nair / dair up smash I’m ready for the up smash. If I desire to back down I can slow the movement and get a tilt. A much safer option in that scenario, better than getting killed for whiffing up smash.

[@JaCrispySSB]

Wow the fox player that has fast buttons and can cover many option selects at once wants to create option select scenarios. Wild concept

[@kogu1729]

bro thinks he knows Fox better than Light lol

[@wattboat]

Dont whiff

Nice guide and I promise im not a bot or even a fox main. GJ Light

[@whocouldthatbe6356]

If I am just a fox player and not a fox main can I still do these combos?

[@umbreotheomega442]

You can't just play fox. Once you start playing him, he becomes your whole life.... my wife and kids miss me. It's been so long.

[@donuteater7774]

Damn how is this video 27 minutes long? How many ways can you say, "just press buttons and don't ever get punished for it"?

[@thegreatestever913]

I'm waiting to see light incorporate Fire Fox to his gameplay. I stay breaking shields and racking up damage with that move. Yes even against good players, it's really not that hard

[@letsmakeit110]

he did it once against leon but it's super not true lol u just shield the embers and then you have 11 frames to do whatever.

[@thegreatestever913]

@@letsmakeit110 I don't use frame lingo but if you're saying it's not true as in it's not hard I'll debate against that. As u fight your opponent u begin to pick up on certain patterns and you're able to predict where they'll move and by doing this u can land where they are and use Fire Fox to either burn them or weaken their shield. If u somehow miss it's rare you'll be punished by it bcuz there are very few characters fast enough to even catch Fox once he's already fired off and he's still fast enough to possibly dodge/block

[@TheFullPackage]

@@thegreatestever913 Did you not stop to consider that this is much harder to incorporate at top level against actually good players?

[@RamikinHorde]

@@TheFullPackage dude doesn't know frame data but says "it's not that hard even against good players" he's clueless lol

[@titus2832]

I wish it worked on all characters, frame 3 counters and up bs beat it everytime unless their damage is really high where it true combos. I love that option, but my region is a bunch plays those characters lol
