Fox Options Cheatsheet

This sheet assumes you are playing fox and goes over what options are effective or not in a given character matchup.

Absent from this list is any real context other than the mathcup. Mainly I'm not specifying the opponent's percent and position. So this list should be used as a general guideline / starting point.

Stage names are abbreviated to the following:

D Dreamland – Y Yoshi's Story – B Battlefield – Fo Fountain of Dreams – P Pokemon Stadium – Fd Final Destination

Hyphenated stages in the list like Fd+P means the two stages are interchangable. This list assumes stadium transformations are enabled.
