Well there's a tree... and.... uh i see a car... a
When i play Brawl at my friends house i play as Wolf alot. My friends think he is cheap becasue his left smash attack moves him forward two character lengths and his right+B can be used as recovery and a metoeor smash. I think he isnt i just say its the player who puts his skills to go use. Or am i just wrong and he really is cheap?

what are you talking about? Wolf isn't cheap!

The only character that's the closest to "cheap" is Snake. But even he's not cheap.

Tell you're friends to stop being whiney idiots :p

If they can't beat you as Wolf, it's their issue and should find out how. Holding jump as his final smash with dudes on top of you could be considered cheap, but they shouldn't be up there in that case :p Blame the game not the player.

Tell them if they think Wolfs Fsmash is cheap, then you should ban all the flying chars, or Ike who sets off an explosion every time he hits you :p

They're also forgetting or perhaps do not know that it's VERY easy to pwn yourself with Wolf's SideB, not to mention the sweetspot hitbox is freakin tiny. And not forgetting that there is no other move in the game with this awkward angle, it's hard to master.

Wolf is a good character, but he aint overpowered.

Snake and Wolf aren't cheap. But sometimes I feel like Wolf is a clone of Fox and Falco. Just a bit. :)

No character is "cheap", even MK, especially somebody as awesome as Wolf. That's like when my friends called me edgeguarding them in Melee cheap. (heh, they would always be like, "Let me/us back onto the stage so we can have a fair fight!") It's not cheap, just it works against them, so they resort to calling it that instead of, say, annoying (to them).

Agree @ Vector

I'm fairly confident in my wolf abilities, im good with him. Give me fox and watch me lose, over, and over, and over.

They're chalk and cheese.

If all you did was mash b for lasers, over on the c stick, and then down on the c stick I would call you and annoying MFer. It's not cheap it's just really annoying way to play.

Except that c stick spam with wolf fails. Fsmash = punishment invitation. Dsmash needs to be fresh and usmash is for dmg/punishment only.

Neither of the spacies are clones of each other.

His dsmash is much cheaper than his fsmash btw

wrong. Falco is more a clone of Fox than Wolf is a clone of either.
I mean a little. His recovery, f-smash and very few of attacks are similar to either Fox and Falco (because Fox and Falco are like clones too).
It sounds confusing but I'm sure you'll understand :chuckle:

lol.

Lol. Anyone who thinks Wolf is cheap obviously hasn't ever played a good MK, Falco, Snake, D3 or G&W.
agreed with ease.

Yup, he's cheap, that's why he isn't even on of the top 8 characters in brawl.
lawl :) I heard 9+ are the cheap characters. MK, Snake, Falco, D3, G&W, Wario, Marth, and Lucario are all easy business and non lamer characters. Ganondorf, Wolf, and Yoshi are hands down the cheapest chars in the game :laugh:

Your friends sound like noobs lol. Wolf has more weaknesses than strengths. Falco isn't cheap, he's just good.

The appropriate term is gay.


and only MK and Marth are gay.
QFT

but you forgot yoshi


and i think that just because wolf rewards those with bad spacing. dosent make him "cheep" or "broken"

I believe is Wolf can only be considered cheap the first few Brawls against him, because you assume he's going to be a Fox Clone, where his ranged attacks are very weak, so you tend to keep your distance. However, when his right Smash moves him two lengths, your entire gameplan goes out the window.

Wolf is easy to spam with.

F-smash, D-smash, Blaster. Everything you need to make a KO.

Of course, this doesn't work against better players, but against someone unfamiliar with Wolf it's infuriating.

MK's the only cheap character. Dedede can also be cheap though, against almost everything that isn't MK.

Wolf is VERY far from cheap. He's cool anyway, why complain about Wolf?

DDD? Cheap? Other than the CG, I don't think he's too bad.

Wolf isnt cheap. Some ppl may spam smashes and all but his recovery sucks, easily gimped, vulnerable to Chaingrabs/chainthrows, even to that of Pit's minor one. Should one spam a wolf, predictable, and should be countered. Besides, Wolf isnt as bad as Snake, MK, Falco, or D3 in what ppl call "Cheap"
