Fox McCloud was a cadet at the Cornerian Defense Army Academy when he heard the news that his father, James McCloud, had met a violent end at the hands of the twisted genius, Andross. The senior McCloud had been betrayed by his own wingman, Pigma Dengar, and delivered into a deadly trap from which there was seemingly no escape. Only James's wingman, Peppy Hare, managed to limp home in his badly damaged starfighter. As the only survivor of the original Star Fox Team, Peppy insisted that the young Fox take on the leadership of the group and form a new team of pilots. Thrust into the leadership role that he wasn't prepared for, Fox recruited the hot-tempered Falco Lombardi and the mechanical genius Slippy Toad to make up the new Star Fox Team. For a price, this crack group will fight against any threat to the Cornerian star system. Although it may appear that the Star Fox Team is motivated only by financial gain, it will only accept missions that serve to uphold justice.

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.

Fox Screenshot

Fox makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a playable character by default. He is the only character that does not appear in the E3 trailer. His outfit in Brawl is similar to his Star Fox 64 and Star Fox Command designs. Other additions include a holster for his gun, a scouter-like piece of equipment over his right eye and his Reflector is now visible on his belt. His headset's microphone additionally appears on the right side of his face instead of the left, which was the case for all of its previous appearances. His Final Smash is the Landmaster, which can hover, Barrel Roll and shoot potent blasts from the cannon. Fox, like Nintendo's other titular characters, has a major role in the Subspace Emissary.

Snake can do it in his stage (Shadow Moses island) additionally, except he verbalizes in the communications channel to learn about the brawler he knocked out.

Special Moves

  • Standard B: Blaster: In Super Smash Bros. it is used to make approaching characters flinch, but in Melee and Brawl, it has no flinching power and is good for racking up damage on an approaching character.
  • Side B: Fox Illusion: Introduced in Melee, Fox will kneel and dash in the direction he is facing at an astounding speed. His illusions abaft him can cause damage.
  • Up B: Fire Fox: In Super Smash Bros., it had short range and was scarcely useless. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, it could burn his opponents while charging up and had longer range. The same applies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However utilizing Fire Fox on a Smash Ball will grant the ability to utilize the Final Smash immedietely.
  • Down B: Reflector: Fox's reflector has the unique ability to redirect an opponent's projectile back at them. Other reflectors have come along, but none are as expeditious.
  • Final Smash - Landmaster: Fox will yell "Landmaster", jump in the air and come back down with a cyclopean tank. He will be able to shoot sizably voluminous blasts of energy and roll. He can additionally hover, so eluding this one is arduous.

Role in The Subspace Emissary

An Arwing is seen engaging the Battleship Halberd, but is soon struck by the grapple arm of the combo cannon and commences to fall toward its deck. This causes Kirby and Zelda/Peach to be blown overboard in its wake.

Subspace fox

Fox's introduction in the Subspace Emisarry.

It is later shown that the Arwing crash-landed at the edge of a jungle, near a lake. Diddy Kong discovers the Arwing, but legendary Pokémon Rayquaza elevates from the lake and territorially attacks the Arwing with a Dragon Pulse, setting it aflame. As Diddy Kong is snatched up by the incited Pokémon, Fox is ejected from the cockpit of the burning Arwing and proceeds to effortlessly rescue Diddy Kong from the clutches of the serpentine Pokémon utilizing his Fox Illusion. In its anger Rayquaza uses another Dragon Pulse at Fox. Fox then utilizes his reflector to reflect the Dragon Pulse back at Rayquaza. Then Fox and Diddy Kong battle Rayquaza. After the two vanquish the giant Pokémon, Fox endeavors to depart, but is dragged away by Diddy Kong deeper into the jungle. Soon, they fight Erroneous Bowser and vanquish him. Suddenly, the authentic Bowser fires his Dark Cannon at them, scarcely dodging the shot. Albeit Diddy Kong is alacritous to fight Bowser, Fox kens that they don't have a chance against his Dark Cannon, so he prehends Diddy Kong and jumps off a cliff.

After recuperating from the fall, they are ambuscaded by Bowser again, who prospers in turning Diddy Kong into a trophy. Bowser then endeavors to turn Fox into a trophy, but he manages to dodge the shot, so Bowser sends some Shadowbugs to engender Erroneous Diddy Kong, outnumbering Fox. Falco Lombardi suddenly appears out of nowhere in his Arwing and preserves Fox from Bowser by eradicating his Dark Cannon, coercing Bowser to elude. Erroneous Diddy Kong commences to absorb more Shadowbugs, becoming gargantuan as a result. Fox utilizes the opportunity to revive the authentic Diddy Kong, and the three fight Erroneous Diddy Kong. After Falco indisposingly joins the group (being dragged along by Diddy in the same manner as Fox was earlier, much to Fox's regalement), they find a ship carrying Donkey Kong's trophy to a floating island. The Great Fox suddenly appears, and as Falco and Diddy Kong endeavor to liberate Donkey Kong, Fox plans to take down the Halberd with the Great Fox.

The Great Fox duels with the Halberd, but it culminates up getting tethered to and carried away by it, gets crashed into a mountain, and flies away in smoke. Later on, as Peach and Sheik/Zelda are making their elusion after Solid Snake liberates them, Fox is optically discerned assailing the Halberd again in his Arwing. During the fire-fight, some of the Arwing's blasters hit perilously proximate to Peach. Sheik does a very high range teleport on top of the Arwing and ruptures the cockpit. Both Sheik and Fox fall out of the Arwing and on the Halberd deck. They commence running towards each other at high speeds and just afore they break into a fight, Peach desultorily offers them a cup of tea. Albeit Fox is shocked by this, when Sheik accepts hers, he accepts his as well. Just as they do, a group of Shadow Bug Mr. Game & Watches fall from the Halberd's cockpit and form into Duon. The three are joined by Lucario and Solid Snake (who knocked them down there in the first place), as well as Falco who arrives on another Arwing, and vanquish the monster. Duon leaves abaft the authentic Mr. Game & Visually Examine's trophy as it vanishes. Fox prepares to blast the trophy, but Peach approaches it and revives Mr. Game & Visually Examine. Fox along with Falco joins the rest of the heroes in the assault on the Subspace Gunship and the assailment on Tabuu.
