After making a cameo in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' during one of its [[opening movie]]'s cutscenes, Wolf transitioned into an [[unlockable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He returned in that capacity in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' after being absent from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. | |||

Compared to his fellow ''Star Fox'' representatives Fox and Falco, Wolf is taller, heavier, and overall stronger.<ref name=BrawlBio>{{cite web|url=https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/characters/hidden12.html|title=Smash Bros.

Despite having [[special move]]s similar to Fox and Falco's both in name and mechanics, Wolf's respective versions nevertheless deviate in very noticeable ways.

Compared to Fox and Falco's Reflectors, Wolf's [[Reflector (Wolf)|Reflector]] has a lower damage multiplier and higher travel speed multiplier when used against projectiles. Unlike theirs, it can also function as a pseudo-counter because of the significant number of [[intangibility]] frames it produces, while the barrier itself is ovoid instead of hexagonal.<ref name=BrawlBio/> Finally, Wolf's [[Landmaster]] has greater firepower and mobility, but this comes at the cost of a shorter duration.<ref name=BrawlBio/> It also features a red and gray color scheme akin to the Wolfen's, instead of the standard blue and white.<ref name=BrawlBio/> | |||
Due to his great mobility, fast and long-ranged attacks, and plethora of options, Wolf is a borderline viable character, who has the tools to take on any character in the game, including {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. However, Wolf has a poor recovery and a severe weakness to [[chain grab]]bing, the latter of which leads to him being countered by a few characters that can exploit this, most notoriously {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. Thanks to his strengths and respectable tournament success, Wolf is currently ranked 14th out of 38 on the [[tier list]], placing him at the top of the C tier. | Due to his great mobility, fast and long-ranged attacks, and plethora of options, Wolf is a borderline viable character, who has the tools to take on any character in the game, including {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}.
