Hey, I want to get into wolf.

[Payton]

I pretty much know nothing about him and need some pointers. Could y'all help?

 

[Boiko]

The best thing to do would be to watch some videos and get a feel for what the top players do, ask for clarification as needed.

He's incredibly fun when played as aggro as I play him. He has a lot of good approach and if you know half of what you're doing then getting someone off the ground at 60% is pretty much deadsville for them.

 

[Payton]

Thanks for the reply. What is the best way to get a side b kill.

 

[Frozn~]

B-throw > side B is the one I see most often.
Shine > side B is good if you can read the DI correctly

Can wolf multi shine?

Seconding this. Taught me a lot. Rat has a really long wolf tutorial somewhere, can't get to it right now.

Nair is godlike, can be used like Fox's dair on shields, fast, good approach option, and you can use shine out of it.

The tutorial is for 3.0.2 not 3.5

Most should still apply. Biggest change really is side b using double jump and lasers more brawl-like.

 

[EllietheOctopus]

U air into side b works most of the time for me

 

[Pr0fessor Flash]

Jab into DACUS can work if they don't tech the jab.

Wolf is definitely the most fun Spacie, he doesn't feel super competitive like Fox and Falco do, but can still play at high levels if you're willing to put in the work.

A few things you should probably learn as Wolf: Waveland Blaster, Waveshining, DACUS

Waveland Blaster allows you to fire faster, and follow up if you hit the blaster. His blaster in general is amazing at spacing, and forces your opponent to either work around them or just charge through. The Waveland Blaster is performed by doing an air dodge downwards right after Wolf shoots his blaster. His blaster should be fired, but still be out, so that's when you should press it. It basically cancels the animation of Wolf putting it away, which is like half a second or something.

Wolf's UAir is beautiful, it usually puts opponents at the perfect angle for Side B. So is his NAir. His Nair is basically Fox's Dair but just a tiny bit worse.

Shine tends to send your opponents diagonally upwards, so Side B is always a potential follow up, provided you can shorten properly and read their DI correctly. Also, since Shine sends them at a diagonal direction, but up as opposed to Fox's down, Waveshining is extremely effective against fast fallers around like the 20% range or something.

Since you're talking about 3.5, though, I'd be cautious with Side B. They nerfed Side B's off stage, so you don't get a jump if you hit it. I mean, Side B'ing off the stage is the definition of high risk-high reward, but if you do hit it, just pray to God that you're close enough to the stage to get back on with an Up B.

What do you mean he doesn't feel super competitive? Every character can be competitive.

I think meant, repetitive.

This. Chillin was in VGBootcamp's grand finals on their most recent 3.5 tourney.

 

[Sur Fartsalot]

I watched through some of chillin's and rat's vgbootcamp videos, and I can't pillar with wolf, compared to falco/wolf. It seems really hard for me to jump diagonally after shining while predicting DI. Any tips (other than a ton of practice )?
P.S. I am using a Wii remote, does this affect much?

shouldnt affect the pillaring much but id still recommend against it.
