Changes from Super Smash Bros. Brawl

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• Wolf is now based off of his appearance in Star Fox Zero, though since his body was never seen out of his Wolfen's cockpit, the rest of his design is original to Ultimate.
• Wolf's new upright posture has translated into his moveset, be it through a tweaked animation or a completely new move. The majority of Wolf's animations are also more fluid.
• Like many other characters, Wolf is now more expressive.
• Dash and crouch's animations have changed. Wolf no longer limps when he dashes, and he now kneels akin to the other spacies instead of laying on all four limbs when crouching.
• Wolf has new idle animations. One is a beckoning gesture similar to one of Fox's idle animations, and the other is an animation where he flicks his nose with his thumb while smirking.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Wolf's jumpsquat takes three frames to complete.

Ground attacks

• Neutral attack has a much cleaner look overall. The ending hit is now a third claw swipe, instead of a dashing bite.
• Wolf's dash attack is now a short ranged kick instead of a back flip. It has more horizontal range but less vertical.
• Dash attack no longer halts Wolf's forward momentum.

Aerial attacks

• Neutral aerial is now a sex kick similar to Fox's.
• Forward aerial has an altered animation.

Throws/other attacks

• Forward throw has a new animation.
• Up throw has a new animation. Wolf now jumps and slashes the opponent with one claw, instead of two like in Brawl. The animation is also cleaner overall.
• Wolf has a new down throw. Wolf now grabs the opponent by the head, jumps while spinning around once, and slams them into the ground.

Special moves

• Wolf has a new firing animation for his Blaster. It also has a new design and updated sound effects.
• Wolf Flash no longer puts Wolf in a state of helplessness after the move.
• Wolf has a new Final Smash where he uses his Wolfen alongside his crew, similar to Fox's and Falco's Final Smash. How it differs is currently unknown.

Trivia

• There's a few inconsistencies between Wolf's official render and his in-game model. The soles of his boots are blue in his official render while they are red in his in-game model, the straps behind his right shin guard is white instead of black, and his jacket and gloves are dark purple instead of light purple.
  • Oddly, in his showcase video, the inconsistencies only appear in the final part of video when he attacks Fox.
  • Additionally, the inconsistencies are used for his model in the first five screenshots of his character page on the Smash Bros. Ultimate official website.
• The visual effects for all of Wolf's claw-based attacks displays three slashes despite Wolf using four fingers.
