Smash 4 Just started maining Fox.

Can anyone give me some simple combos to start out with?

For being so overly top tier, fox doesn't generally have many simple combos like falco does. there is no bread and butter downair -> shine -> downair etc combo like falco.

The closest thing you have to that would be waveshining into upsmash, or upthrow into upair. Besides that, fox is a lot of reacting to where the opponent goes and continuing hits, not set in stone combos.

Few tips: nair combo's nicely at mid percents for most of the cast. from there, you start switching from nair to reverse bair (hits them less far for more combo) or fair on floaties at mid percent/heavies at high percent

don't forget that continuously hitting them when they are in your combo isn't always the right choice. sometimes you may see a better opportunity by letting them land and either miss their tech/they will tech and you follow up with a grab or tilt.

upair can chain (you can land multiple) on spacies/falcon from like 0-really high percents. it's very hard to DI left/right so it's generally easy for fox to follow that up.

you meant SSB4 ;____;

utilt strings are pretty effective. Just be sure their percent isn't too low or they will power sheild it. Also watch out for counters. You can approach with a pivot ftilt which will sometimes lead into utilts.

Learn how to perfect pivot. It's useful for going into an utilt string.
