How the hell do I beat wolf?

This Wolf I'm facing keeps spamming his blaster and his smashes. I try doing grenade counters but it doesn't affect him that much. I can't really seem to get close to him to do any tilts or grabs, and he keeps reflecting my missiles, so I usually drop them close to him or over him. Sometimes I get lucky by hitting him with the c4, but it's very rare.

if he wants to camp, get out of his blaster range and outcamp him. throw your grenades over him and stripe them when they're just over his head. or cook them, so he wont be able to use his reflector. when he gets close quarters, be prepared for his smashes. you can shield his f-smash easily and punish with f-tilt, jab-grab/f-tilt, or even a sh dair.If you get a power shield, you can even stick a c4 to him ^^. be careful with his dsmash, it's his killer move. i usually sidestep it and punish, but you can shield it too. you can see a upsmash coming from miles away, he will probably not use it as a starter. you can gimp wolf's recovery pretty easily with smart edgehoggin, mortars and an off-stage nair/bair intercepting him.

Your best bet is to either keep him on the ropes (alot of campers don't react well under pressure, with proper aerial usage and spacing you can probably beat him without using your B moves once, though of course why would you not use them), or outcamp him, the one issue with Wolf's reflector is even if you cook your grenades perfectly, if he times it right he can cancel out the blow, so if you attempt to outcamp him, keep constant pressure on him, and if you can manage it try to get other forms of pressure like your mine and C4 near him before hand

Well my friend's wolf is a bit campy but I still manage to beat him. I tend to use the Nikita against him more then other characters because it goes right through his Blaster shots when he tries to camp and then I drop on top of him or right before him so I don't have the risk of it getting set back. If he approaches me as soon as I use the Nikita, I cancel it immediately. Of course this doesn't mean I mix it up. When he approaches well timed grenade counters, C4, and mines help me. Also, like always, F-tilt is great for punishing.
Edit: Up smash and u-tilt are also useful against aerial approaches.

bair. I believe it goes right through his blaster. Great for approching him, and as stated earlier, campers don't usually react well under pressure. Plus, your Snake. Just use them infamously over prioritized moves and uncannily ranged hitboxes, get a couple jab locks going and he'll be toast.

Crawl under his blaster shots then crawl in for a dtilt. OR outcamp him with grenade or leave a claymore in the ground and start hanging on the edge to get Wolf to come to you.
