Fox Balance Changes

Fox is known for speed and strong combos, but he also gets kill confirms straight out of those combo starters, so every kill move slows down.

Balance Philosophy

Nerf around three moves per character that are too oppressive inside an already strong kit. Not every suggestion needs to be implemented.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.
