My best friend and I are Brawl rivals, a scenario that I'm sure many of you can relate to. We Brawl very often, and we always try to use a variety of characters instead of only fighting best char vs best char.
Now, his best is Wolf, and every time he uses Wolf, I groan.
His strategy with every character is one of extreme defense and reliance on projectiles. He will never go towards you, forcing you to always go after him instead. He will then Perfect Shield you and counter attack. Every time. And it's most ridiculously effective with Wolf.
His projectiles will almost always make a dashgrab approach impossible, since you can't advance towards him. The dashdodging approach is the best I've come up with so far but, even then, he'll make you dodge projectiles as you advance and then F-Smash you with that crazy range as soon you're close enough and after dodge lag.
Often, he'll just UpB towards you, trashing you if you dashshield soon enough and nullifying any advantage of your own Perfect Shielding.
Trying to projectile him is obviously useless due to his Reflector. That same Reflector, with its invincibility frames, also makes any attacking approach futile.
I mean, I just don't see what I can do here.
It's especially impossible to get to him using one of the slower characters, because they're even easier to Perfect Shield against.
So what are strategies against this form of "turtling"?
