Huh?? I have Wolf as easy. He's clearly the easiest Spaceie to pick up(At least to someone who came from brawl)
Oops, mistakenly read him in hard.
(The technicality with this group is what makes them hard.)
wolf is more tech heavy than falco for certain, and he competes with fox for hardest tech skill IMO. like think of all the flash shortens that he needs to do to be succesful. fox and falco dont have to worry about those like he does, and even when they do, its easier to do than wolfs (since he has like 4 different lengths). his blaster is also quite tech heavy. nobody does it, but incorporating b reverses into the blaster can add a lot to your game, and when combined with the waveland it can be a lot on the fingers. his shine also requires better DI reads. ADDITIONALLY, wolf is much more dependent on spacing than fox or falco. not that spacing isnt important with them (its important with everyone), but wolf is a bit more reliant on it since he cant just run in with every aerial in his arsenal and be safe on shield most of the time like the other two are. things like bair, fair, and dair are more effectively used with cross ups and proper spacing as opposed to brute speed to wear down shields, which IMO is more difficult to do properly than developing the muscle memory to do shine pillars. DACUS is also much more important to wolf than falco (for fox its nonexistent), and many of his killers have sweetspots (fair, side b, bair, upsmash). falco is defnitely the easiest space animal to play.
That bit with wolf may just be the most ignorant write up that ive ever seen on this website. Aside from strong bads stuff of course.
really now? so aside from the fact that i just wrote a bunch in depth giving examples to support why wolf and fox are harder to play than falco, something about that is still ignorant? what exactly is ignorant about it? please, enlighten me. id enjoy to learn why you are so adamant to post something like that about someone who is here to simply analyze the game. since you are so smart, why dont you give a developed opinion? sounds like your just here to troll from the looks of it, considering you just joined the website yesterday..
"In depth explanations" dont mean squat if its all wrong, like when you said that wolfs shorten was harder because unlike fox and falcos it has 4 different lengths. But Id be glad to help enlighten and educate you on what you did wrong. Wolf is deeeeefinitely not as tech heavy as falco, for one. Falcos punish game requires intricate button inputs, unintuitive movements and a complex punish tree that requires time to study, and even more to become quick and precise with it. Wolfs combos are really simple. He has extremely basic and forgiving tilts and aerials that even chillin could figure out quickly. He gets less off of his shine and thus doesnt need to expect to follow it up as much, nor is comboing consistently as crucial to wolf, not to mention being much bigger and easier to land than falcos shine which is the smallest.
LOL you dont understand this character.
as if falcos aerials and tilts arent basic and forgiving? i didnt realize that the brain dead approach of an extremely easy to use projectile, into the walled hitboxes that are dair, bair, and nair were difficult to pull off.. wolfs nair is very small, and you cant just barge through every attack an opponent puts out with it, meaning it requires more decisive use. wolfs dair also doesnt last for 50 seconds like falcos bair, dair, and nair do, and it isnt always as safe on shield. wolfs bair and fair BOTH have sourspots geared towards comboing, and sweetspots meant for killing, and they actually require a lot of precision to land them, particularly with fair.
This is wrong. i shouldnt even need an explanation.
The fact that wolf has a quicker jump squat than falco means that he will consitently have to perform quicker inputs, thus imparting a higher strain on the player, and requiring faster fingers. falcos punish usually consists of throwing out lasers until he can run in with a nair or dair, and just start shine comboing people. wolfs projectile take more button inputs to use, and he has more options out of it between b-reversing and directional WLing. its also easier to beat out in neutral since it can clank with attacks and be cancelled. This requires a more skilled and smart usage of his projectile, DD, and approach options. Already, it should be clear to you that wolfs approach options arent as linear as falcos, and need more thought to be used effectively. Additionally, its quite difficult to pick wolf up. theres a reason you dont see new players picking wolf up left and right like you do mario. His kill moves take a lot of accuracy, and his combos require a lot of precision too.
So the higher amount of lag on all of his aerials, his projectile, and his normals means that hes less vulnerable than fox or falco? in fact, this means that spacing is all the more important to him, especially considering that all of his aerials and normals have more range, despite the comparatively longer endlag.
You forget that things like waveshining and multi shines are skills that translate between the space animals. Additionally, the years that he has developed of general smash experience make it much easier for him to break down and analyze a characters moves, while having the tech skill built up to quickly adapt to different things. Your constant mentioning of Chillindude doesnt exactly prove that wolf is easy to pick up.. youre talking about ONE player here.
lol on that note.. im gonna have to start doubting youre taking this seriously at all. You are too cocky for your own good.
