Wolf's an odd one.

Because he has the most fur, I always thought he'd be the most flammable of the furries in Brawl (aside from Lucario, but that's not exactly fair, because Lucario is a steel type), because he has a little clothing and a lot of fur.

But in his up special, Fire Wolf, he DOESN'T EVEN CATCH FIRE. What's up with that?

If I remember correctly, steel had a weakness to fire.

Plus his up-b isn't called fire wolf I don't think...

which i have always thought is incredibly dumb.

the animation isn't fire, it's wind, and calling it fire wolf makes no sense. i think someone just got lazy and was copying the pattern from fox/falco rather than actually checking it.

Nope, considering the game was put back a year, you'd think they could come up with something more creative. BUT NO, "fire wolf". Worst name ever.

It's called "Fire Wolf" for a different reason. Rather than being named after the actual combustibility properties, it's named because whoever decided to make this move deal 9 damage should have been instantly fired and sent to work on Sonic games.

(even then, I think Falco would be more flammable than Wolf because feathers are lighter and less dense than fur, and would probably catch on fire faster.)

*watches Wolf running past with his tail on fire, yelping.*

my vote is for

Zephyr Strike

zephyr means strong blast of wind for those who don't know.

so far the options are that, or

Wolf Launcher
Thunder Wolf
Wolf Bolt
Chrono Wolf
Hurricane Kick

yes, i vetoed a couple, and added a few that i made up, but i think that list represents the best named so far. of course not counting the unbeatable FALCON KICK!

P.s. all in favor of making a poll now using those as the options? *raises hand*

Guys guys guys...

There is only one unofficial name that's good for this move.

And that's BUSTAH WOLF!!
