Help vs. Wolf Blaster Spam?

Like the title says, I'm having trouble fighting Wolf. I can't crawl under the shots, and the damage and hitstun are a major problem for me.

So two questions, basically:

1) What do I do against blaster spam from Wolf?

and

2) What do I do against Wolf, period?

power shielding the constant spam works very well, power shielding has gotten insanely easy to pull off in brawl compared to melee. If you are trying to gain distance, roll/sidestep in at the intervals, this isn't falco's lasers here, so it 's much easier to get through the intervals. I only do this if I am atleast 2 rolls away, because once you move in too close, wolf will just basic combo you away, then repeat it. Once you are close enough, you've got many options. Jump over the last interval then punch punch kick or f tilt, if they block expecting it, go for a grab or if you're slick, stick him with a c4.

Playing against the laser spam wolf is all about spacing, if you're close enough for the sweep but not the punch punch kick, go for the sweep. I've also learned to pull out a nade, powershield the first laser, drop the nade between that first shot and the second shot, power shield the second shot, pick up the nade between the 3rd interval then cook the nade then toss it where it will explode in wolf's face, allowing you to mortar slide in or whatnot. There are tons of options, a very easy way to counter this, is play more turtly/campy than the wolf, if he's gonna laser spam, play with your grenades, they have more blast radius than the lasers anyways. Get the nades in his general direction and this will force the wolf to move.

quick response:

shorthop grenadethrow

powershield-drop grenades (two birds one stone)
pick up and THROW fast

if you can get the grenades in on him he will shoot them point blank on himself.

use the grenades to pressure that situation.

one hit from his blaster does nothing compared to a grenade. if you just block all of his shots normally he will get discouraged from using it. even if it means the fight becomes stale and nothing happens.

just toss a grenade, put a time-table on how long he can shoot that trash at you.
and powershield it out or dodge. if he gets hurt and never hits you with the laser than he'll become discouraged, no matter how long the fight drags out.

a nikita rocket will work against a lazer spammer sometimes but u cant get hit by the lazer while pullign out the nikita or else it will fail.

theres also rolling that works for me and there is also nades. thats all i can think of for now.

one last final attempt to avoid teh lazer spam is to knock the controller out of your opponents hand.
