General

How does Peach function?

• Slow character
• Has some of the best frame data in the game
• Has great hit boxes
• Has an amazing recovery
• Probably the best Crouch Cancel in the game

How does this mesh with Fox?

• Fox can abuse Peach’s lack of speed
• Fox struggles to deal with Peach’s Couch Cancel, Framedata, and large Hitboxes
  • This isn’t to say that Fox cannot win interactions; rather, Fox gets outrewarded if he plays lazy and lets Peach pick the interactions
• Fox’s biggest problem is getting a clean hit.
  • It is hard to get consistent, good strings on Peach as Fox.
  • The matchups is all about playing loose and adaptive while making sure to not overextend
    • Being able to read the situation quickly is crucial
    • A lot of the time, you get your openings of Peach missing her big moves

You have to play both play fast and smart in order to not let Peach set the pace while also making sure you do not get hit by cc dsmash

Peach is possibly the hardest character to cleanly hit at low %

• Takes a lot of practice
