Uh, actually they are quite different. Off the top of my head, moves that they have that are different include the jabs, ftilt, fair, dair, uair, fsmash, usmash, dsmash, side-b.... they really don't have alot in common. In fact, even the so-called "clones" in brawl are not at all the same, and really do feel different when played.

OP is failing it quite hard. The one thing about brawl is that there are no longer any clones. There are a few identical moves (such as Samus and Falcon's utilt) and a few similar looking, but completely different, moves (such as Fox and Falco's dair), but no clones.

Wolf has better midair agility than Fox, despite still being a fast faller. His smash attacks are also a tad faster than Fox's (except for the u-smash).

Fox beats Wolf in dash speed. Wolf hardly moves any faster when dashing compared to his walking movement. Fox's Blaster can also be spammed to rack up damage.

you have to look at their smash attacks and special attacks

sure they come from the same game, but Wolf has a different fighting style than fox as established by others above.

Fox's reflector is different too, his reflector can slow him down while falling

wolf's cant

fox's landmaster has a longer time than wolf's but wolf's is stronger

Also fox can do more combos than wolf and Fox gun is faster than wolf and can shoot more at once

I agree...On the most part.

Link and toon link?
Captain Falcon and Ganondorf?

Yes, I know they are not DIRECT Clones. But I guess nintendo figures if they change a couple moves they are not a clone anymore(Especially true in captain falcon/ganondorf case).
And about Toon Link., IMO they could have easily gave him an independent move set, and the only thing he has similar to link is arrows:
B move-arrows
Side-B=Hurricane spin
Up-B=Deku leaf
Down=B Skull Hammer.


Back to topic:
Fox and Wolf are NOT clones. Fox and wolfs A moves are completleyt different. Their blasters are pretty much opposite of eachother. Wolf's up B is nothing like firefox, and his side B goes on an angle, with a spiking sweetspot at its peak. His reflector is vulnerable from above as well.

They're a lot different. Some times, it doesn't look like it, but you have to be really part of Smash to understand how the moves are different. They have similar concepts, but their mechanics are completely dissimilar.

they don't even look or feel like anything close to clones.

Fox and wolf do not have one move the same.

Watch
Move: Fox: Wolf:
usmash- kickflip -Handstand double kick thing
dsmash - splitkick - Back and forth claw attack
fsmash - rolling kick - claw attack(Moves very far)
utilt - lil back kick - up claw attack thing
ftilit - kick - claw rip thing
dtilt - tail - tail (maybe, i can't remember)
a combo - kickkickkickkickickkick - 1-2-3 claw attacl
b - fast, non stunning laser - slow stuning laser
sideb - quick horizontal dash - diagonal dash with short distance and sweetspot
upb - firefox, one hit - wolf flying kick thing, combo with finished end-
downb - reflector, slows down falling- less dmg more dmg, no slow down
nair - kick - flipping thing
bair - back kick - don't remember, maybe back kick
fair - air kick combo - claw thing
dair - drill kick - down claw strike
uair -double kickflip - Up claw strike
So yeah, not the same except for two, maybe three moves.
sry for the format, but it gets my point across.

And the one thing about brawl is there are no clones, at all.

It'd be ignorant to still believe that Wolf and Fox are identical move clones after seeing even a video.

Wolf is heavy, he's hard hitting and very different, yes they all rely on the same thing of speedy surprise attack moves but Toon Link and Link are more identical to eachother I reckon...

Don't forget that just because they have the same final smash doesn't mean the same stats.

Fox - Lasts Longer, blue colored
Wolf - Stronger but lasts lesser

Yes, both characters are from the same series. However, as previously mentioned, their moves are significantly altered in damage and appearance. In addition, tactical use and strategy for them is completely different where as in Melee Fox and Falco were very similar.

Fox and Wolf are not clones. Nough said.

this is my exact opinion on the "team Starfox" characters. this includes wolf too :)
