Why is Fox the best fighter?

>No "blip" for the shine
ruined

hes fast and all his moves are good. he has very safe and effective ways of leading into a kill. he's theoretically the best character in the game. but in terms of tournament play, he's probably not the best cuz he gets hit too hard and is too technical

safe attacks
good recovery
bullshit kill confirms (all the best in the game, jab upsmash wiveshine, upthrow upair, shine spikes)
incredibly fast and can just run away for the entire game while lasering you so you have to approach

other than that he's combo food that everyone knows how to fight

>fast
>strong upsmash/upthrow uair.
>has an amazing combo game on everyone
>lasers to zone
>shinespike fucks 80% of all recoveries free
That said, Marth might be better. Marths neutral game is sizably the best because of his mobility AND range.

>tfw grinding ledgedashes
isn't it kind of strange that the 3 characters considered #1 in melee (Fox, Puff, Marth) all have the strongest ledge options?

Eh, Luigi has arguably the best ledgegame. He can ledgedash dsmash into centerstage because of 13 frames of invul and has a long wavedash. imo the only character who is carried by a single aspect is Icies w/wobbling. I’d say those 3 are super good because they have great neutral, punishes and risk/reward is massively skewed in their favor somehow.

>Marth
>good ledge options
I'll give you that his aerials from ledge ARE good but they are also incredibly punishable and Marth actually has very few good invincible options.
Falco and Shiek both have way better off the ledge games than Marth, heck even Falcon has arguably better.

Marth can technically do an invulnerable hax dash like Falcon but nobody does it

>>lasers to zone

I don't think you know what that means

iirc it's a lot harder
and the best ledgedash possible only gives 1 (lol) frame of invincibility

the new(ish) headbonk stuff could give marth a pretty respectable ledge game on battlefield at least

Tamamo is shit tho
