For all of Steve and Kazuya's faults in Ultimate, most agree that using their tools requires skill


* BaseBreakingCharacter: The competitive ''Smash'' fandom has a divided opinion on ''Melee''[='=]s incarnation of Fox. On one side, many fans love him for being the epitome of DifficultButAwesome, being near-impossible to play well at the low level, but having many options that cover many different situations without any of them being a universal auto-win spam tool. Unlike top-tier characters in other ''Smash'' games (Pikachu in ''64'', Meta Knight in ''Brawl'', Diddy Kong in early ''Smash 4'', and Bayonetta in late ''Smash 4''), he has an even skill-to-reward ratio for how dominating he is, is not significantly above the rest of the top characters in singles, and doesn't beat mid- and low-tier characters as hard as, say, Sheik or Falco do. On the other side, ''Melee'' detractors and even a handful of ''Melee'' fans dislike Fox for how common he is in ''Melee''[='=]s metagame, particularly in doubles (where he is ''even better'' than he is in singles, with double Fox teams being incredibly prominent), and how frustrating a good Fox can be to play against, due to how oppressive his quick, powerful tools can be in the neutral game when utilized to the fullest extent. They also greatly dislike how demanding he is, requiring [[SomeDexterityRequired an extremely high amount of tech skill]] to play well (with some Fox players such as Hax and [=DruggedFox=] even suffering from hand injuries such as carpal tunnel because of this).
