{{nihongo|'''Steve Fox'''|スティーブ・フォックス|Sutību Fokkusu|lead=yes}} is a [[fictional character]] from the ''[[Tekken]]'' fighting game series released by [[Namco Bandai Games]]. Steve was introduced in ''[[Tekken 4]]'', and he has returned for every subsequent game in the ''Tekken'' series. Steve is a level-headed middleweight boxing champion that was conceived in a lab in England. He is the son of [[Nina Williams]], who unknowingly had Steve while she was taking part in [[Dr. Bosconovitch]]'s cold sleep project. His father's identity remains a mystery. He is also the nephew of [[Anna Williams (Tekken)|Anna Williams]]. |

==Character design== |
|||
Steve Fox is a young, British boxer with blonde slicked-back styled hair and pale blue eyes. He speaks with a British accent, and has a large scar on his left arm. Most of his outfits feature Britain's color scheme (red, white, and blue), especially his boxing trunks. His player one costume consists of British flag colored boxing trunks, yellow boxing gloves with red spiked wristbands, and blue sneakers, while in later games, he wears British colored boxing boots. His player two costume consists of an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, red jeans, brown shoes, and white hand wraps. In later games, he wears white button shirt with British colored shield symbols on the chest, shoulders and back, blue fingerless gloves with spikes on the knuckles, and silver shoes with blue laces. His character was originally given the name Dean Earwicker. This was changed after a substantial amount of negative feedback from the ''Tekken'' community.{{cn|date=August 2015}} The name has been referenced four times in the ''Tekken'' series: first in the Tekken Force mode in ''Tekken 4'', the second time in the Arcade Battle mode in ''Tekken 5'', the third time in the Arcade Battle and Ghost Battle modes in ''Tekken 6'', and the fourth time in the Ghost Battle mode in ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2''. |

===Gameplay and fighting style=== |
|||
Steve Fox uses boxing as his fighting style. With a unique fighting style based on bobs, sways and punches, and almost no kicks, Steve is one of the most unorthodox characters in the series. He has incredibly fast and effective punches and combos, very strong low attacks, and can lay the pressure on his opponent like few others in the roster. He can turn around a fight with his hard-hitting blows and high-low combos in a flash, and his counter-hits are among the most effective around. Because he is a boxer, Steve Fox does not have normal kick attacks. However, there are a few instances where he uses his legs to attack, such as his get-up kicks, jumping kicks, and a single attack where he stomps on the opponent's foot. Another move of his, the Endless Roll, is a variation of the Dempsey Roll, which was created and first used by the Heavy Weight Boxing Champion of the 1920s, [[Jack Dempsey]]. His unblockable move, Hellfire, is the only unblockable attack where damage can be reduced by blocking it; when blocked, its properties also change. |
