First off, let's establish the fact that Wolf's Fsmash and Dsmash are ridiculously overpowered.
Wolf lunges forward a considerable distance when he performs his Fsmash. Fine, but at least balance the increased range with a long start-up time or something. The thing launches instantaneously and when you are at 0% and get hit with the Fmash, you can combo it into at LEAST 3 consecutive Fsmash combos. Also, it outranges a ROLL. I anticipate Wolf to Fsmash, so I roll away and dodge it, ONLY TO GET HIT YET AGAIN because the moment I finish rolling, his Fsmash range is FAR enough to cover the distance I rolled and STILL hit me.
WTF.
Ike's Usmash is powerful and covers a large distance (less than Wolf's, though), BUT it's balanced by being extremely slow and easy to dodge. Freakin wolf's Fsmash is IMMEDIATE, RANGED, and pretty powerful (10%ish). Plus, it consists of two hits, so if you shield it and release it after you think it's been blocked, YOU STILL GET HIT. God****.
Not to be cocky or anything, but I'm pretty good at smash (not a pro or anything), but I know pretty much all the basics and I can take on all my friends and win very easily with pretty much any character.
But no.. not against my noob friend who discovered the joys of spamming wolf's laser, rolling, and Fsmashing. Any other character he chooses, I **** him. The moment he picks up wolf, he wins 70% of the time. My strategy was pretty much to shield against his Fsmash and punish him after lag upon completion.. BUT NO, THERE IS NO **** LAG FOR WOLF'S FMASH. I block it once and go in to hit him, only for him to LAUNCH ANOTHER FMASH before I can even hit him.
His Dsmash is also instantaneous, and again overpowered, because Wolf performs splits that cover his front and back AT THE SAME TIME. Other characters who have Dsmashes first hit their front with their legs/swords/etc and then their backs. But no, not mr. wolf.
I'm not saying Wolf in itself is cheap. I'm saying his Fsmash in particular is way too overpowered, spammable, ranged, and instantaneous.
What's annoying, though, is my noob friend who thinks he's the **** with wolf. But all he does is roll around, spam laser so I have to approach him, roll behind me, perform Fsmash, roll away, spam laser, roll, Fsmash, Dsmash, roll, etc.
He probably covers all his horizontal distance with his Fsmash and rolling. That's all he does: spam laser, roll, and Fsmashes.
I've tried so many characters to counter him, but the only way I can pretty easily destroy him is with Zelda, who, is also pretty cheap with her near 100% smash attack priorities, din's fire spammability, B move, and etc. I used to play her a lot, but my friends *****ed and moaned that she was cheap (including my friend who now plays Wolf), so I agreed and stopped. But the moment my friends and I started calling my friend cheap with Wolf, he denies it and get's all self-righteous. He even goes so far as to say that Zelda isn't cheap anymore, but just "really good," when he was the one who called her cheap the most.
Everytime I watch a youtube video with wolf in it, I just cringe in disgust when I see an Fsmash performed, even though it isn't spammed. The mere fact that it's so easy to land and spam is so frustrating.
Who is the best counter to Wolf?
