|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.

|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]].

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. | Wolf was ranked 16th on the first tier list (September 2008), in the high tier.

==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. | |||
