Disappointed by Wolf's side B

[Seabass]

It's a good recovery but i have up B for that.

 

[Reynbo]

Its not like any of the spacies fantasms are meant for attacking anyway+it comes out faster then his up-b too

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

Do you realise that if you hit with the very end of this attack, it turns into a very powerful KO move?

 

[Vegeta214]

Wolf's side-b is great. It's useful to his recovery since up-b-ing all the time makes you predictable and thus punishable. Mix it up with the side-b, alter angles or cancel the side-b. As for the sweetspot...it ownz. Try aiming it at the opponent while recovering and they're trying to aggressively edgeguard you.

Sorry, but i disagree completely. His side-b can double as an incredible spike. This however is a true spike, unlike his Dair which is just another run of the mill meteor

This video is not the best, but it shows how good his spike can be...you just need to find an affective way to use it.

I know if so awesome when I headbut a Fox level 7 CPU and they go flying off the stage, its so Exciting

Of course i get pissed when i use it at the wrong time and i fly off the stage

Holy crap...nice catch! I'd have never seen that if you hadn't pointed it out!

What about on land, though? What does it do if you are coming up through a ledge and tag someone with it?

 

[Seabass]

wow i didn't know that it really is good

 

[pockyD]

if you shorten the side-b, does it still have the sweetspot/spike?

if so, that could be very useful

Hmm interesting...I sweetspotted wolf's phantasm on a R.O.B. today and instead of being spiked straight down he was sent flying clear across FD (I caught him in midair).

His side B can be canceled and it turned into a wavedash-esque slide, it's very helpful for chain grabs and charging the Fsmash. Illusion Dash/Sprint or something.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

It may not be THAT effective for attacking, but at least it's decent for recoveries above ledges.

 

[Just A Gamer]

I cant speak for others, but I find it great if you can get diagonally under a player on a platform (such as the ones on lylat cruise).

Alter angles on the side-b? Or are you talking about the Up-b?

 

[FmAiGkGeO]

It's good because the slight degree change makes it less predictable. It's good for mind games in that sense. Often when I'm playing people that don't see it coming. Also the end being a strong smash helps a lot when you sweet spot the ending.

As far as i know, and what i have found from playing my friend with wolf, it will only spike if you hit your enemy with the end of the attack whilst you are above them, otherwise it will result in simply a strong attack
