Newcomer here. Thanks to Wolf I registered!

Anyone like his feral look? His actions pretty much complement it, and well, some of his taunts (howling, growling) make him quite a badass.

I really like it. I always thought of Wolf as an intelligent strategiest, but he's got that hunter persona with a thirst of blood and adventure in him well.

I think he was crafted incredibly well (no FS mentions, pl0x). Shows that Sakurai isn't COMPLETELY unimaginative.

I really thought from the games that Wolf was a civilized person...and Sakurai turned him into a werewolf demon that wants to kill everything in its path...Its still pretty cool.

He is supposed to be an anti-hero. He has no personality in 64, and while cliche'd, gained something in Assault and Command.

In Assault and Command he really seemed like a civilized guy...not like what he is represented in Brawl.

Wolf looks like Wolf was ment to be, in the first game (that he was in), I thought he was a rat, and in Assault, I really liked how he looked, but he wasn't completely the bad-*** purely evil guy I had grown to love, and from what I've heard, in Command he was completely docile, well tame if you know what I mean, I LOVE his new look in Brawl, and how in a cut-scene he pretty much flips the player off, Sakurai did a great job creating him

Wolf wasn't totally lacking a personality in 64, he seemed like the typical, "I am the hired number 1 by Andross and will do anything to win/get my reward," guy, but he still had his own flavor to add to the mix.

Oh, and, calling any Star Fox game or any part of any Star Fox game cliche... is just funny. Those games are very cliche, calling them that is basically redundant =). This coming from numero uno Star Fox fan.

I like what they've done. He was made out to be a pretty civilized guy, as you put it, but he still has that dark side to him. Brawl brings out his more... blood hungry side. I think it is wicked cool. SOmething new to the table at last.

EDIT: Plus it really goes with his moveset.

Oh I am not flaming anyone. Sorry if it sounded like that. XP

Yeah, that's what I mean, he has good intentions (clearing his team's name and saving the world) but his methods are questionable.

I don't think he's doing with it seems he's doing. It doesn't look like he's crouched, wild, and ready to slash away, watch his arms. He rolls them around his body a bit, like taking a fighting stance, a low Taichi stance. I think it meshes well with Bruce Le- Fox...

Its probably the only reason why they delayed it for 3 months...

Heres what I mean, notice how he and Fox are posed. Fox is in a traditional fighting stance, maybe a defencive back-stance. Wolf is down low, but calm, his arm outstreached for blocking and grabbing, his back arm is curled to gaurd his face, and to strike with.

He isn't feral, he's still calm, calculating, and badass.

Oh yes, lol
and another thing that I forgot to add,
I like Wolf's landmaster, it may be a clone but I'd rather have something that is from StarFox than something completely made up

I think by feral I was referring to his claws, rawr, growl, howl, and stuff. But yeah, I know there's a stance like that.

Still, he is badass. :3

Well I'm very pleased with it. It shows that Sakurai and his team have a very good grasp on the concept of anthropomorphism as a character designing tool. Wolf fights like...well...a wolf! He lunges, he overwhelms his opponents with aggressive actions and he tries to intimidate his opponents with his scary fighting pose. As an anthro artist myself, I'm very very pleased with Wolf's animations and attacks!

But they did put in Fox using FoxFire as an UpB move, which is based on Japanese mythology.

If you watch him fight in the actual game though, he does stand grasping the air with his claws as if he's some kind of blood-thirsty wolf. They actually HAVE tried to make OWlf radiate feralness.

Im not sure if I liek it, I guess I'll have to play as him first.

Fox was based off Japanese mythology so it only makes sense that the move is called Firefox...
