Help against Fox. . .please and thank you. . .

[Mr_Hippie101]

I was wondering if any of you could give me some helpful hints on how to by my friends Fox. . .we're both pretty good but in the end it always seems to be him who comes out victorious. Here's how our battles usually go down:

Me and him are both dodge-happy players so pretty much it's the two of us constantly dodging around each other trying to sneak in an attack every now and then. It serioulsy takes us forever to finish a battle, and it seems that no matter how many times I try to break away from our little dodge fest, he gets right back on top of me. . .

So does anyone have any advise? If so I would really appreciate it.

Well...first off, you need to change your basic playstyle. Be thankful he doesn't know enough to punish your dodging. Don't roll much, spot dodge more, shieldgrab and combo him to hell and back. Learn to anticipate. You obviously know how he plays you-use your knowledge to your advantage and switch up your playstyle. Punish him. I'm also not sure if you're speaking of rolling or just spot-dodging, so...this advice is a little vague. x)

Shield grab is your friend in this match up. Other than that, you just need better timing. If you have better timing you can win the fight in the air. Tough matchup though.

If you could pull off an up tilt when they're at a low %, you could spam it quite a few times before the Fox can get out of it.

Foward throw to up air chain always works too when they're at a low %.

Step 1: Duck under Fox'es lasers.

Step 2: Run up to Fox.

Step 3: Shield before he Tilts you.

Step 4: Use F-Throw, U-air, F-Throw, U-air, F-Smash or F-Throw, F-air/U-air, F-Throw, Hammer.

Step 5: Jump off the stage and use D-air above his head.

Step 6: Taunt. I suggest "OWNED!" or crouching/dash dancing
