I do as well, but some people find them very enjoyable.

Would you say that Link's projectile game is better than wolf's? Because if so it might not be as low as you're stating, just Link will in no way be able to beat wolf face to face (bair v fair). Link's recovery is in naturally bad.-Read-
I think this matchup is theoretically 65:35 Wolf or 70:30.
Wolf is a spacing monster, i agree very highly with this; however with proper distance i feel Link can overpower Wolf to degree. On neutrals that have a decent amount of space to move around on (smashville?) Link can have ample opportunities to pull out bombs. However on places like BF, Link will get smothered.Laser's are a real pain. They mess up your Zair spacing, they make it hard to use Boomerang and get bombs out. But once you do get bombs, they eat through lasers. In fact spamming is quite hard in this matchup since his Laser is hard to deal with and occasionally Wolf's will reflect your projectiles back at you.
The problem with this is running away generally means running towards the ledge, somewhere link generally doesn't want to be.I guess the best thing to do against his laser spam is run the other direction and pull out a bomb, and instead of jumping over his lasers, try and power shield them.
I would think Link's is as well.His jab is very good for punishing Spot dodging.
_________________________Wolf's Back air is just too amazing in this matchup. He can do like walls of pain with it against Link, and Link can't really do a thing against it, his Fair is too slow and Nair can't compete with the priority and range.
Wouldn't a boomerang suffice hitting him?You can sorta gimp his Side B if you go out there, and Nair. It usually beat's it, unless you get hit with the Sweet spot.
If wolf is lasering enough like you were talking about before, wouldn't that leave little to no chances to do this?Bomb Footstool Jab Lock works quite well in this matchup. I've pulled it off quite a number of times. Same with Boomerang Jab lock, since Wolf falls so fast when knocked down by the boomerang they usually can't react and tech it.
I pretty much said the same thing earlier, i highly agree.Don't take him to Yoshi's, it's actually his best stage. I'd say take him Pokemon Stadium 1, those ledges can screw him over, worse then they screw Link. But in general, I think you want stages that are big, so you can get away from his lasers, pull out a bomb and spam back at him. Perhaps platforms would help against the lasers, and doing Autocancelled Dair's off the them might be a way to deal with Back air spam.
Hmm... i say get the guaranteed Zair to U-Tilt, then react to his gameplay from there on. Autopiloting against wolf will lead to serious damage.A cool combo if you can get the spacing is Zair into Up-tilt, work's on quite low percents and it puts you in a position to juggle him. He falls so fast though, so at early percents juggling him is hard and he probably falls fast enough to punish you.
Bomb pulling when being pushed by a reflected 'gale' can be a safe time. It is situational and Link needs onstage room behind him.Hmm, so if you can predict a reflector, you get a free bomb pull basically?
? No, arrows will be reflected and hurt Link.Plus if that's the case, wouldn't sh double arrow leave us in the camping advantage?
Well, I am the most aggressive Wolf around. I don't camp verse Link because I see no point in doing so. I just set up mah bair wall. If I see him recover then I might choose to bair him to the death zone, shine spike him, or continually shoot lasers. If he shoots anything at me then I can reflect it. When Wolf reflects something his shine becomes a shield basically. So he can at that time Usmash OoS, Up b, roll, or spotdodge even. Gimping a good Wolf isn't exactly easy because we manage to learn about 16 directions for our up b and side b scarring helps go through the stage.that doesn't generally help us seagull man, why do you think you never lost? does camping bug you with wolf? Can you outcamp link? What's your general strategy against link? Is it beatable? etc.
