*{{Sm|Choice|USA}} - Was perhaps the most prominent Wolf player in ''Brawl''{{'}}s early competitive life 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 while using Wolf alongside a {{SSBB|Falco}} co-main. | *{{Sm|Choice|USA}} - Was perhaps the most prominent Wolf player in ''Brawl''{{'}}s early competitive life 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 while using Wolf alongside a {{SSBB|Falco}} co-main. | ||
*{{Sm|JJWolf|USA}} - A prominent Wolf player in ''Brawl''{{'}}s early competitive life, who was one of the biggest innovators of Wolf's metagame, and a noted inspiration to several competitive Wolf players, including Seagull Joe. His 49th placing at {{Trn|Apex 2009}} additionally set the high-water mark for a solo Wolf player at a supermajor, which while later tied by a few more Wolf players, it wouldn't be outright exceeded until several years later with Seagull Joe's 9th at {{Trn|Apex 2014}}. | *{{Sm|JJWolf|USA}} - A prominent Wolf player in ''Brawl''{{'}}s early competitive life, who was one of the biggest innovators of Wolf's metagame, and a noted inspiration to several competitive Wolf players, including Seagull Joe.

Kain additionally tied JJWolf's aforementioned mark for best placing for a solo Wolf at a supermajor, when he placed 49th at {{Trn|MLG Columbus 2010}}, and he would place 9th among 96 entrants at {{Trn|WHOBO 4}}, one of the largest {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}-banned tournaments. Kain was one of three Wolf players ranked on the [[2014 SSBBRank]], the final and only national ranking for ''Brawl'' before the release of ''[[Smash 4]]'', ranking at 74th despite his lapsed tournament activity after 2012. | ||
*{{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 at 94th. His most notable tournament performance was at the Meta Knight-banned {{Trn|WHOBO 4}}, where he placed 17th in the main bracket using solo Wolf, as well as placing 2nd among 63 players in the tournament's [[Mid tier tournament|mid + low tier bracket]]. | *{{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 at 94th.

*{{Sm|Seagull Joe|USA}} - Widely considered second best Wolf player under Kain during ''Brawl''{{'}}s competitive prime, while Seagull Joe would take up the mantle of best Wolf player after farther advancement and Kain's inactivity in the post-2012 era. He would first tie JJWolf's best placing for a solo Wolf at a supermajor by placing 49th at {{Trn|Apex 2013}}, and then he would later shatter the record by placing 9th at {{Trn|Apex 2014}}, standing as the best all-time placing for a Wolf at a ''Brawl'' major or supermajor, while then going on to be the highest ranking Wolf player on the [[2014 SSBBRank]] at 37th. Seagull Joe would also be one of the best ''Brawl'' players in the post-''Smash 4'' era, with his most notable results being placing 5th at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2015}} and 4th at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2018}}, while getting ranked 10th on the [[2016-2017 SSBBRank]] and 12th on the [[2018-2019 SSBBRank]]. | *{{Sm|Seagull Joe|USA}} - Widely considered second best Wolf player under Kain during ''Brawl''{{'}}s competitive prime, while Seagull Joe would take up the mantle of best Wolf player after farther advancement and Kain's inactivity in the post-2012 era.
