'''Wolf''' ({{ja|ウルフ|Urufu}}, ''Wolf'') is an [[unlockable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He was confirmed on the ''Smash Dojo'' website on March 31st, 2008.

Wolf is voiced by Jay Ward in the English version and by Mahito Ōba reprising his role from ''Star Fox: Assault'' in the Japanese version.

Wolf is ranked 14th on the current [[Tier list#SSBB tier list|tier list]] at the middle of the high-mid tier. Wolf possesses tremendous mobility, with among the best [[air speed]], and high, fast [[jump]]s. Wolf additionally possesses great air to ground transitioning, as he possesses [[fast faller|fast falling speed]], and [[aerial]]s that either have low [[landing lag]] or can be [[auto-cancel]]led in a [[short hop]]. Wolf in general has fast attacks with disproportionally far [[reach]] (his [[back aerial]] being especially notorious in this regard), which when combined with the aforementioned mobility and an effective [[DACUS]], results in effective [[approach]]ing capabilities. Wolf also has an effective [[transcendent]] [[projectile]] in his {{b|Blaster|Wolf}}, a very quick {{b|Reflector|Wolf}} with both [[intangibility]] and [[hitbox]]es, an all-purpose [[throw]] in his [[down throw]], well rounded power throughout his moveset, and rather strong [[combo]]ing capabilities.

Wolf has two major weaknesses, however: his extreme vulnerability to [[chain throw]]s and an exploitable [[recovery]]. Because of Wolf's combination of heavy weight, fast falling speed and acceleration, four characters can chain throw him to his doom, and others can perform chain throws that result in significant damage. Wolf additionally possesses a recovery that is hard to rely on. Wolf is heavily susceptible to [[gimp]]s, and has a particular vulnerability to [[meteor smash]]es, as Wolf suffers a 60 frame delay when [[meteor cancel]]ling, over twice as much as most other characters (even low knockback meteor smashes can send Wolf down too far to recover). His two recovery moves both have poor [[edge sweet spot]]s and do not move Wolf a very far way, which forces Wolf to rely moreso on his jumps to get back to the stage. Another problem for Wolf is his atrocious [[vertical momentum cancel]]ling, which causes Wolf to have a vertical endurance potential that is significantly worse than what is typical of characters with fast falling speeds (thus losing one of their primary strengths while still possessing their general weaknesses). Overall, Wolf has above average [[matchup]]s with only a few {{B|counter|matchup}}s, and his tournament results have periodically fluctuated between being unusually good for a non-high tier character (where he has outperformed some high tier characters), and being just merely above average.

==How to unlock==
Complete one of the following:
*Play 450 [[VS. match]]es.
*Complete [[Boss Battles]] with {{SSBB|Fox}} or {{SSBB|Falco}}.
*After completing [[The Subspace Emissary]], enter a secret room fairly deep in [[The Ruins]]. (Note that this method does not show the challenger approaching screen, but a cutscene of Wolf challenging the player instead.)

The player must then fight and defeat Wolf on [[Lylat Cruise]].

==Attributes==
[[File:Wolf and fox.jpg|thumb|300px|Wolf's standing height in comparison to Fox's]]
Of the three playable ''Star Fox'' characters present in ''Brawl'', Wolf's characteristics as a fighter are the most individual. Wolf is by far the heaviest [[space animal]], but ranks only three places above {{SSBB|Mario}} in terms of weight. Despite possessing a larger body frame than Fox and Falco, Wolf leans down while standing and moving along the ground, and has the shortest stance of the three. His dash speed is slow, barely outpacing his walk, but he has the third fastest fall speed, and fourth fastest horizontal air speed. While these attributes provide him with good aerial mobility, Wolf is vulnerable to [[chain grabbing]], [[juggling]], and certain [[lock]]s due to his heavy weight and rapid falling speed. It should also be noted that [[fast fall]]ing does not accelerate Wolf's fall by a considerable amount, which hinders his ability to [[Momentum canceling#Vertical momentum canceling|vertical momentum cancel]] in comparison to characters with quicker fast falls, such as {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}. However, his ability to momentum cancel horizontally, aided by his fast back aerial and his horizontally based midair jump, is one of the best in the game when compared to other characters' abilities to momentum cancel horizontally without DI.

Most of Wolf's standard attacks start quickly and have good reach, and he has a [[DACUS]] that propels him a considerable distance along the ground. Many of his attacks have the potential to [[KO]], such as back aerial, up tilt, and his smashes. The speed and reach of his attacks allow him to punish effectively on the ground as well as in the air, and their solid damage dealing properties can build opponents' damage quickly. However, since many of his standard attacks are effective for racking up damage, they may suffer from [[stale move negation]] if not used carefully, and cause problems when Wolf tries to KO. Many of Wolf's attacks also have poor shield stun effects, which allow opponents to [[shield grab]] him easily if they block his hits.

Wolf also has a proficient air game. His neutral aerial is fast, has a long duration, and deals decent horizontal knockback. His forward aerial has low startup, sets up well into itself, and has surprising vertical KO power. His back aerial is quick, powerful, and range, making it among his best finishers. His up aerial is a relatively good juggler at low percentages and doesn't have a particularly high amount of lag. Lastly, his down aerial has two very large and overlapping hitboxes and is a meteor smash with high knockback scaling, making it very good at edgeguarding.

Wolf's special moves are variants of Fox and Falco's, with different animations and properties. His neutral special, {{b|Blaster|Wolf}}, is a gun that fires [[projectile]] lasers, and its firing rate is slower than that of its counterparts. However, its lasers deal significant [[hitstun]], the most damage, and have the most vertical reach - no character is capable of ducking under these lasers on level ground. It also serves as a melee weapon, delivering extra damage to foes if the blaster itself contacts them. Wolf's down special, [[Reflector (Wolf)|Reflector]], is a versatile move that deflects [[projectiles]] and grants him invincibility frames, which may be used to avoid attacks, and escape chain throws if his opponent makes an error. The reflector has very short reach, and delivers very weak set [[knockback]] and the least damage, but it can be used to gimp fast falling opponents with poor and/or slow vertical recoveries such as {{SSBB|Falco}}.

While Wolf's air speed and recovery moves allow him to travel a considerable distance in order to [[recover]], these moves are easily predicted, and his [[ledge sweet spot]] is one of the smallest in the game. As such, he is easily [[gimp]]ed, and his recovery is susceptible to [[edge-hogging]]. Wolf also suffers from the highest [[meteor smash#Characters with unusual meteor cancel windows in Brawl|meteor cancel delay]] in the game (a window of 60 frames, compared to the average of 25, with no other character having more than 32), making it very difficult for him to survive meteors even at low percentages. This, in combination with his vulnerability to chain throwing, poses a problem, since some chain throws, such as King Dedede's down throw chain throw, can force him offstage. His side special, [[Wolf Flash]], sends Wolf diagonally across and upward in a fast 'flash', and is used to recover horizontally. It has the potential to [[meteor smash]] if sweet spotted. Wolf Flash also has [[Wolf Flash#Wolf Flash and ledges|unusual characteristics]] that may be utilised to help Wolf recover. His up special, [[Fire Wolf]], is a move that propels Wolf in a direction of the players' choosing. It has the least start up lag in comparison to Fox and Falco's counterpart moves, drags opponents along with it, and delivers knockback at the end, but has a very small ledge sweet spot.

Overall, Wolf is a balanced character who may face problems when matched against opponents that can exploit his weaknesses, but has strengths that earn him the position of a viable [[tournament]] contender.

==Moveset==
{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBB
|neutralcount=3
|neutralname=&nbsp;
|neutral1dmg=3%
|neutral2dmg=2%
|neutral3dmg=4%
|neutraldesc=Wolf slashes with one arm, then the other, and bites on the third hit. The 3rd hit moves Wolf forward a great distance. Decent knockback but lacks KO potential.
|ftiltname=&nbsp;
|ftiltdmg=5% (hit 1), 6% (hit 2)
|ftiltdesc=Leans forward with both arms together and swipes, separating his claws on impact. The first hitbox produces a large number of freeze frames if it connects with an opponent, and will freeze both Wolf and the opponent for a short time before the second hitbox appears and knocks them away at a low upwards angle. Overall, this attack has good reach and can be a useful follow up after connecting with aerial attacks such as back aerial and [[Reflector]]. If it hits an opponent's shield and they drop it during the freeze frames produced by the first hitbox, the second hitbox will punish them. KOs at 138% at the ledge, but doesn't KO until 198% from the centre of Final Destination
|utiltname=&nbsp;
|utiltdmg=8-10%
|utiltdesc=Kicks upward in front of his body, knocking opponents vertically. There is a sweetspot on the tip his foot, which delivers the most knockback, KOing at 130%, while the weak hit KOs at 162%
|dtiltname=&nbsp;
|dtiltdmg=6%
|dtiltdesc=Kicks out with his foot, having decent range and can cause tripping.
|dashname=&nbsp;
|dashdmg=9%
|dashdesc=Performs a back flip out of a run. The back flip halts the forward momentum of the dash, but can be used to execute a [[DACUS]]. The trajectory of the opponent depends upon the part of Wolf's body that contacts them, with the near hit launching upwards and the far hits launching outwards, with the outermost hitbox having the lowest angle. The near hits generally lacks KO potential, while the outermost hit KOs at 136% at the ledge, albeit much later from further away.
|fsmashname=&nbsp;
|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|5}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|10}} (hit 2)
|fsmashdesc=Wolf stretches his arms in front of his body and thrusts forward, then twists his claws. This attack moves Wolf along the ground, making it the longest ranging forward smash in the game and often strikes opponents twice, but delivers below average knockback and has noticeable cool-down time.
|usmashname=&nbsp;
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|6}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|12}} (hit 2)
|usmashdesc=Does a flipping scissor kick above his head. Can be used as a sliding [[DACUS]]. This move hits twice, with the first hit usually pushing the opponent into the second. It has a small sweetspot on his body that deals the same damage as the main hitbox on his legs, that sends opponents on a horizontal trajectory instead. KOs vertically at 124% uncharged, and 81% fully charged.
|dsmashname=&nbsp;
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|14}}/{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|12}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|13}}/{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|10}} (hit 2)
|dsmashdesc=Swipes his claws on both sides of his body, first in front and then behind. Arguably Wolf's best ground finisher.
|nairname=&nbsp;
|nairdmg=8% (clean), 3% (late sweetspot), 1% (late sourspot)
|nairdesc=Wolf curls up and flips several times. If the attack connects on the first hit, it will hit once and deliver decent horizontal knockback, capable of KOing at 128% at the ledge, and even earlier offstage. Otherwise, it will hit several times and deliver small amounts of hitstun but no knockback unless it hits the sweetspot, which deals minimal knockback.
|fairname=&nbsp;
|fairdmg=11%
|fairdesc=Slashes forward with his left arm. Has decent horizontal reach and delivers a moderately high amount of vertical knockback, KOing at 143% from the ground, but has considerable ending and landing lag.
|bairname=&nbsp;
|bairdmg=13%/11% (right leg), 10%/9% (left leg)
|bairdesc=Jams his leg backwards with deceiving range. Short duration, but very fast and powerful, KOing as early as 102% at the ledge, and potentially much earlier offstage.
|uairname=&nbsp;
|uairdmg=12%
|uairdesc=Swipes in an arc above his head. It has low vertical knockback, making it effective as a juggler, but ineffective for the purpose of KOing unless both Wolf and his opponent are a decent height in the air.
|dairname=&nbsp;
|dairdmg=15% (arms), 13% (body)
|dairdesc=Plunges both his hands below himself. It is one of the fastest meteors to land in the game, but has weak knockback, making it a tough move to KO opponents at low percentages.
|grabname=&nbsp;
|grabdesc=Swipes forward with his right arm.
|pummelname=&nbsp;
|pummeldmg=1%
|pummeldesc=Hits his opponent with his right knee. Fastest pummel in the game.
|fthrowname=&nbsp;
|fthrowdmg=4% (hit 1), 3% (throw)
|fthrowdesc=Slashes his opponent forward. Weak knockback, not KOing until around 190% at the ledge.
|bthrowname=&nbsp;
|bthrowdmg=4% (hit 1), 3% (throw)
|bthrowdesc=Throws the opponent upward and claws them behind himself. Deals mostly vertical knockback but doesn't kill below 200%
|uthrowname=&nbsp;
|uthrowdmg=5% (hit 1), 2% (throw)
|uthrowdesc=Throws the opponent upward and slashes them with both claws. Its base knockback is too strong for Wolf to effectively follow up on, and it lacks any KO power.
|dthrowname=&nbsp;
|dthrowdmg=6% (hit 1), 6% (throw)
|dthrowdesc=Throws the opponent on the ground, does a small jump and claws them. It sends the opponent diagonally downward, causing them to slide along the ground and off any nearby edges. At high percentages, it is a powerful and deadly semi-spike on the edge, which puts characters in a very inconvenient position to recover from or even sends them far enough to where they are unable to recover, although it doesn't KO on raw power until 178% at the ledge.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=6%
|floorfdesc=Gets up and does a kick in the front and in the back.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=6%
|floorbdesc=Gets up and punches forwards and kicks backwards.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Spins around, kicking foes with who are close.
|edgefname=&nbsp;
|edgefdmg=8% (legs), 6% (body)
|edgefdesc=Quickly lunges at the opponent with a kick.
|edgesname=&nbsp;
|edgesdmg=10%
|edgesdesc=Slowly gets up and hammers the ground with a kick.
|nsname=Blaster
|nspage=Blaster (Wolf)
|nsdmg=4% (gun), 5-6% (laser)
|nsdesc=Wolf fires a single shot from his blaster. The gun portion of Wolf's Blaster can damage opponents who are close to Wolf, good for [[spacing]]. Functions similarly to Fox's and Falco's blasters, but stronger and much slower.
|ssname=Wolf Flash
|ssdmg=3% (dash), 10% (sweetspot), 15% (meteor sweetspot)
|ssdesc=Wolf quickly propels himself diagonally upwards at a 35° angle. The sweetspot is located at the center of Wolf that [[meteor smash]]es airborne opponents. The sourspot at the end of the move [[semi-spike]]s instead. Both hitboxes, however, are extremely powerful, with the sourspot KOing at 139% from the centre of Final Destination.
|usname=Fire Wolf
|usdmg=2% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-8), 3% (hit 9 ground), 4% (hit 9 air)
|usdesc=Wolf propels himself and kicks his opponent. The direction of the dash depends on which direction is held on the [[control stick]].
|dsname=Reflector
|dspage=Reflector (Wolf)
|dsdmg=3% (startup), x1.3 damage (reflected projectiles)
|dsdesc=Wolf activates his Reflector around himself. All reflected projectiles deals more damage than they normally would and travels at almost twice the original speed. The Reflector damages nearby foes upon activation. Unlike Fox's Reflector, Wolf's version does not stall him in the air. Possible to negate anti-airs if timed right.
|fsname=Landmaster
|fsdmg=5-19% (movement), 16% (turn), 20% (shot), 15% (roll), 15% (fall)
|fsdesc=Wolf summons his Landmaster. It's the most powerful and fastest out of all three Landmasters in the game. However, it lasts a shorter duration compared to Fox and Falco's Landmasters.

==In [[competitive play]]==
===Tier placement and history===
Wolf was ranked 16th on the first tier list (September 2008), in the high tier. He then saw a large drop, falling to 20th place on the second tier list (January 2009), and again dropping to 22nd on the third (June 2009). He hovered around the 22nd spot for a few more revisions of the list. Wolf's drop was largely due to his extreme vulnerability to [[chaingrab]]s (some of which are [[infinite]]s and [[0-death]]s), as well as having a poor [[recovery]]. Around late 2010, several Wolf players started doing very well in tournaments ({{Sm|Kain}} was noted for being of the most dominant forces in the American Midwest). Wolf's strong mobility, aerial game, and general all-around fighting abilities were recognized in the sixth tier list (July 2011), when Wolf jumped up six places to the 16th position. Wolf was also recognized to have one of the best matchups against the overly dominant {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, as well as many even or close to even matchups against the other top tier characters; Wolf generally had strong matchups outside of the characters who are able to chaingrab him effectively. Wolf is currently ranked at 14th place in the upper-mid tier, in the eighth tier list, as of April 2013.
===Matchups===
{{SSBBMatchupTable|wolf=yes}}
Wolf has slightly favorable matchups. He is hard countered by one character, {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. Wolf is countered by two characters and soft countered by five. He has eleven even matchups, soft counters six characters, counters ten, and hard counters one, {{SSBB|Zelda}}. Notably, Wolf has a surprisingly manageable matchup against {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, which a lot of other mid tiers are significantly hindered by (most notably {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} and {{SSBB|Pit}}). He also has an even matchup with {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, {{SSBB|Olimar}}, and {{SSBB|Marth}}. However, he lacks options against characters with strong chaingrabs and characters who are good at gimping. Wolf's matchup against Pikachu is particularly bad because Pikachu has a 0-to-death chain grab against Wolf: 2 forward throws, followed by a few down throws to a [[thunderspike]]. King Dedede hard counters Wolf because of his deadly set knockback down throw chaingrab on him. {{SSBB|Wario}} counters him because he also possesses a deadly near zero-death chain throw, being able to chain throw him from 20% to over 200%. Wolf has fair matchups that excel for his tier.

<!--This character has a ten player limit for this section. Before adding and/or removing a player, read these guidelines: https://www.ssbwiki.com/SmashWiki:Notability#%22Most_historically_significant_players%22_guidelines -->

*{{Sm|Choice|USA}} - Was perhaps the most prominent Wolf player in the States in earlier Brawl before Kain's and Seagull Joe's emergence, including placing top 16 at [[MLG Raleigh 2010]] and [[MLG Columbus 2010]], and ranking 4th on [[NorCal Power Rankings#Brawl|NorCal's 2011 power ranking]], albeit alongside a {{SSBB|Falco}} co-main.
*{{Sm|JJWolf|USA}} - A highly prominent Wolf player in early Brawl, who was a primary innovator of Wolf's metagame, and a noted inspiration to several competitive Wolf players, including Seagull Joe.
*{{Sm|Kain|USA}} - Widely considered the best Wolf player and one of the overall best players not using a high tier during Brawl's competitive prime, dominating the midwest of the United States and being largely responsible for Wolf's significant rise on the [[List of SSBB tier lists (NTSC)|sixth tier list]] from lowish-mid tier to borderline high tier.
*{{Sm|McPeePants|USA}} - Was generally considered the third best Wolf under Kain and Seagull Joe during the later half of Brawl's competitive life, and was the only other Wolf player besides those two to be ranked on the [[2014 SSBBRank]] (being ranked 94th), the final national-level ranking made for ''Brawl''.
*{{Sm|Seagull Joe|USA}} - Widely considered second best Wolf player under Kain during Brawl's competitive prime, and ended up taking up the mantle of best Wolf player after farther advancement and Kain's inactivity in the post-2012 era. His 9th placing at [[Apex 2014]] was the best placing a Wolf player ever achieved at a Brawl major, and he was the highest ranking Wolf player on the aforementioned 2014 SSBBRank, being ranked 37th.

==Role in [[The Subspace Emissary]]==
[[File:Wolf Subspace.png|thumb|200px|Wolf in ''[[SSE]]'']]
Wolf, like {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSBB|Toon Link}}, does not play a major role, or influence the story of the [[Subspace Emissary]], and is not even seen interacting with any other characters, but may join the player's party after [[Tabuu]] has been defeated. To encounter Wolf, the player must enter a particular Red Door in [[The Ruins]] stage, which will take them to [[Lylat Cruise]] after a brief cut-scene. In the cut-scene, Wolf is seen flying his Wolfen, jumping out, and landing on the cruise ship. Wolf strikes a pose, then rushes forward to attack. Although he is the only character present in the cut-scene, he appears to stare at his challenger. The player must then defeat him in a one-life stock battle, and if they win the match, Wolf joins the party. This will also [[unlock]] him if he has not yet been unlocked.

==Trivia==
[[File:WolfDetatchedArm.png|thumb|220px]]
*There is an animation error in Wolf's tumbling animation where his left arm will detach from his elbow.
*Strangely, in some of Wolf's animations, his right shoulder pad will mysteriously flip upside down and return to its original position when the animation ends. This is noticeable when he performs an up smash, turns around while braking from a dash, and lands after doing his forward aerial.
*Wolf has a few aerial animations that are directly carried over from {{SSBB|Fox}}, which results in him briefly assuming Fox's falling animation before reverting to his own. This applies to his air dodging animation and his forward, upward, and downward item throwing animations.
*[[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that Wolf, along with {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSBB|Toon Link}}, were almost cut from ''Brawl'' due to time constraints and their late consideration for inclusion in the game, hence why they are excluded from and cannot be unlocked while playing through the main [[Subspace Emissary]] story. His popularity and similarities to Fox and {{SSBB|Falco}} were key to his inclusion in ''Brawl''<ref>[http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/08/17/sakuraibrawlquestions/]</ref>. This explains why he uses so many animations from other characters and why some of said animations are bugged. It also explains why he looks less polished than other newcomers.
*Oddly, in [[The Subspace Emissary]], Wolf's fast falling speed (1.9) is lower than his regular falling speed (2.142). This means that he can actually slow down by his descent in midair by fast falling. This also occurs with [[Metal Mario]] in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''
*Wolf was the last character to be confirmed for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' due to being confirmed on the ''Smash Dojo'' website on March 31st, 2008, two months after the game's initial release.
*When clipping through Wolf's cybernetic eyepatch via a hacked camera, it's revealed that he has a functional left eye.
**A similar effect happens [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMmoJl5NUH0 when looking through his cybernetic eyepatch in ''Star Fox Assault''].
*Wolf's supine floor attack is the only arm-based attack that involves him throwing a punch rather than using his claws.
*Wolf's victory pose where he crosses his arms is a reference to ''Star Fox Assault''; the only pose Wolf makes in Story Mode is him crossing his arms in his Wolfen.
