Kirby is perhaps known in Brawl for his grab combos on fastfallers (including the spacies), which makes many of such matchups above him even. In Fox's case, I would argue that Kirby wins this because Fox's higher gravity allows Kirby to combo him for longer, and he doesn't have Wolf's anti-crouch projectile or Falco's down throw chaingrab into short-hop down air or Gatling Combo (thus making it harder for him to prevent Kirby from approaching, and thus exploit perhaps Kirby's biggest weakness). Kirby's down air is also really detrimental to Fox's recovery given his falling speed, just like against many other characters in the game. This all overrules how early Fox can KO Kirby with his up smash. My vote: 4/6 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkWcs... Video:
