These seem to be in every other forum and I'd like to help out other :wolf:'s or answer any questions people may have. Ask away.

I'll try to answer questions in as much detail as I can, using video examples or experiences. I promise I'll answer all questions 100% about :wolf: or brawl related stuff. Other stuff I will not fully answer if it's as many questions as Jimmyfosho's.

What's your favorite flavor of cool-aid?

Every Wolf needs a bair, but does every bair need a wolf?

Why main Wolf instead of Falco if you like birds? Is it because you realized how much better Wolf's bair is, or is it because of woffles, or is there another reason?

What do you think about using Side B on-stage offensively? Like against someone who jumps a lot to approach? It's something I haven't looked too much in to and I'm not sure if other Wolfs have or not.

What are your favorite and least-favorite matchups to play?

How much willpower would it take to walk from California to Manhattan island?

I don't drink Koolaid.

Every Bair needs a :wolf:.

I main a character based on playstyle. :falco:'s is simplistic and boring.

Sounds risky.

Favorite matchups are :metaknight:, :dedede:, and :peach:. Least favorite matchups are :sheik: and :lucas:.

A lot of willpower.

I have done three bowel movements into the toilet today. Thank you for asking.
Please explain why
Because I like playing :dedede:'s. It's a fun matchup and :dedede: can really test you to your limits without any auto kill moves (Assuming the :dedede: won't ledge infinite). It helps playing :dedede:'s to learn spacing of moves. Him or :olimar:.

I can honestly say that I'm probably the best :wolf: at the :dedede: matchup. I thank Coney for that (We went to the same college so we played on Thursdays for a whole semester and I got tons of practice). In tourney I go :metaknight: vs :dedede:, but I always like to be prepared for pocket ones.

Oooooooooooooooookay.

We already have the Q&A/Social and an (old) interview thread, so keep this to more specific Wolf-related questions that Seagull can answer particularly well. Any excessive posts will be marked as spam and if they seem to overwhelm the main purpose of this thread it's getting locked.

This thread is specifically so I can answer questions you people may have as a veteran :wolf: main with vast knowledge to give. I'd prefer it about :wolf: related stuff, but I can answer anything.

What's something that you think more wolf mains should do that isn't the crazy ledge stuff we've been discussing in that other thread.

If Seagull Man is in MegaMan11, will you play the game?

How good is Kirby with Wolf's power? Just curious. Thinking about using it vs Wolfs but not sure if it's worth giving up the option to Swallowcide.

@Rob: :wolf:'s try to do to many things and forget the basics. It's better to learn spacing and play boring then it is to be flashy. If you can play both then that's great, but basic play is essential to getting better.

I also think :wolf:'s use too much standing laser.

Megaman is amazing. I don't care the name of the baddies lol.

@Poyo: :wolf:'s power isn't that good for :kirby2:. He can't combo out of it and laser only does 6% on average. Go for swallocides if that opportunity arises or spit him out to put him above :kirby2: for juggle opportunities.

Why is Wolf mid-tier again?
Because :wolf: is a character with a transcendent projectile, invincible move that also can be used to gimp, amazing safe aerials, a decent recovery, a fairly great matchup spread, and bountiful tourney results.

How did your bird obsession start?

What do you think about the melee people who trash-talk brawl?

How can you play effectively with wolf online? (Mid to Hard lag)

Do you think we will eventually go till high or top tier soon?

Whats your college major?

Whats the best for a newby player, to learn every tech of the character or to just practice his reflexes until he performs better?

How do you start implementing in your gameplay a new AT, supposing it has a hard or precise input

Whats your favorite region to watch smash?

Name your top 5 wolfs globaly

Whats the best wolf player to learn stuff from watching him play?


Thats all for today, nice topic seagull, reminded me of the interview one that was pretty cool

How did your bird obsession start? It's not an obsession. My favorite animal is birds. I'm just not to creative with tags.

What do you think about the melee people who trash-talk brawl? They're f@gs.

How can you play effectively with wolf online? (Mid to Hard lag) Spam laser and then hit forward on the c-stick.

Do you think we will eventually go till high or top tier soon? I hope not. :wolf: is not a character with the traits that other top/high tiers exhibit. He only shuts down low tiers and :ness2:/:yoshi2:...

Whats your college major? Secondary Chemistry Education.

Whats the best for a newby player, to learn every tech of the character or to just practice his reflexes until he performs better? Practice until he performs better. There is no point in learning useless techs if you can't apply them. I'd say to learn Dacus and glide toss and then just practice. Those AT's are the only ones that seem universal that people should learn. When you get better I would say to learn b-reversals and jump cancel stuff.

How do you start implementing in your gameplay a new AT, supposing it has a hard or precise input? Consistent practice to get down the AT first. Then play and find out when it is best to use and not use. Overtime you should be able to tell when you shouldn't use it and should. Example: It took me a bit of time to learn ground b-reversal, but now I can do it 99% of the time. Overtime I learned it is best used from a distance.

I also learned the usefullness of run off and then back on blaster when being chased by like :sonic: spindash or :olimar: dash grab.

Whats your favorite region to watch smash? Whichever one is the most interesting. I go where the streams have the most viewers.

Name your top 5 wolfs globaly: Me, Kain, Semifer, Kudemo, Choice. I think these 5 are at another level compared to the rest. I'd include SLS and JJ, but I don't deem them active (SLS isn't active WITH :wolf: and has no clue how to recover).

Whats the best wolf player to learn stuff from watching him play? I'd say there is no best to watch to learn stuff from. It is best to watch a lot of different :wolf:'s because everyones style is unique. The same :wolf: isn't always the best showcase of a matchup or tournament set. Multiple points of view is good.

Which characters do you personally think are a hard counter to Wolf and what do you do if you play someone who uses that character in a tournament?

:dedede: and :pikachu2: are :wolf:'s worst matchups. If I have to play :dedede: then I use a different character. :pikachu2: I try :wolf: R1 and if I lose then switch to a different character.

I go :wolf: vs every other character in tourney except :popo: because I feel more comfortable with :metaknight:.
