Is Fox Honest? ZeRo Weighs In on Character Honesty in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Cheap. Unfair. Broken. Unbalanced. Dishonest. We’ve all heard these types of phrases, and some of us may even use them. These phrases are all subjective, however; making one person’s sense of honor in their character choice mean nothing to another player. This, occasionally, leads to salt and name calling.
In Smash, there is a pretty large divide between the good characters and the rest. This mentality of certain characters being too good started heavily with Melee, but still persists a bit today. A player having difficulty may sooner declare his opponent’s character dishonest before improving. One such character is a long-time face in the Smash metagame, Fox.
The video below sees ZeRo delve into the meaning of the phrase “honest,” his interpretation of it, and whether or not Fox meets this subjective definition. He does this by looking into the character’s strengths and weaknesses to see what the counter play is, if there is one, to Fox McCloud.
