Fox is awesome in the original. One of my friends did an experiment; he'd get two level 9 COMs, on 99 lives, to fight it out while he was sleeping, and when he woke up, Fox would ALWAYS win by something like 60/70 lives. Like, wow. And when he did Fox vs. Fox, the winner had 1 or 2 lives left or something.
I actually asked a non-gamer friend who hasn't even heard of FE is she thought it was a guy's or a girl's name. She said female.
