Wolf (SSBU): Difference between revisions

*{{change|The majority of Wolf's animations are more fluid and polished, and none are visibly borrowed from other characters unlike ''Brawl''. Many of his attacks also sport purple claw trails.}}

*{{change|Wolf has many animations of his own, rather than using Fox's. This includes the animations for his air dodge, rolls, spot dodge, and shielding, among several others.}}

**{{nerf|Wolf's new crouching animation doesn't lower his hurtboxes as much as before, making it easier to hit him vertically.}}

*{{change|Wolf's up taunt has him face the screen, regardless which side he's currently facing.}}

**{{change|The howling voice clip has been sped up to match the new animation.}}

===Attributes===

**{{change|Wolf's new upright posture makes him harder to hit horizontally, but easier to hit vertically.}}

*{{change|The changes to [[hitstun canceling]] both help and hinder Wolf: they allow him to combo his opponents much better than in ''Brawl'', but make him more susceptible to combos due to his fast falling speed.}}

*Early gameplay footage of Wolf in ''Ultimate'' contains a few inconsistencies between his official render and his in-game model. The soles of his boots are blue in his official render while they appeared red in his in-game model, the straps behind his right shin guard were white instead of black, and his jacket and gloves were dark purple instead of light purple. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62uBiZfw9w0&t=0m13s]</ref> <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B4w2Tsy9PE&t=0m4s]</ref>

**Oddly, in his showcase video, the inconsistencies only appear in the final part of the 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 slash trails, despite attacking with four fingers.

*Wolf is the only playable ''Star Fox'' character whose Fighter Spirit does not use artwork from ''Star Fox Zero''.

*Wolf’s fighter description in the Tips section is the only one to mention a previously cancelled video game, being ''{{iw|lylatwiki|Star Fox 2}}''.

*Wolf is the only playable ''Star Fox'' character whose voice actor from ''Brawl'' reprises their role in ''Ultimate'', while Fox and Falco's voice actors were changed from ''Brawl'' to ''Smash 4'', which is retained in ''Ultimate''.

*Navigating the camera around Wolf's model reveals that there are a few gaps in some parts of his body including:

**Between the bandana and collar in the back.<ref>[https://imgur.com/ZdZIT1w]</ref>

***Certain animations will also cause the nape of Wolf's neck to detach from his bandanna, exposing a gap.

*There's currently an animation error with Wolf's forward teching animation, his left foot will be twisted the other way when rolling.

*As well as Snake, Wolf is the only other character to travel to [[Shadow Moses Island]] in Classic Mode.

*Wolf, {{SSBU|Marth}}, {{SSBU|Lucina}}, {{SSBU|Young Link}}, {{SSBU|Roy}}, and {{SSBU|Chrom}} are the only characters that uses their crouching animation from their previous ''Smash Bros.'' game when holding a small item (in Chrom's case, he uses Roy's previous crouching animation).

**This makes Wolf, Marth, and Lucina the only characters to have both updated idle and crouching animations, but will transition to their previous animations when holding a small item.

*Much like in ''Brawl'', Wolf's supine floor attack is the only arm-based attack that involves him punching rather than using his claws.
