Despite all these strengths, Wolf has some weaknesses. Wolf is a fast-faller middleweight, which makes him fairly easy to combo despite having a frame 2 air dodge. His recovery is also fairly linear and easy to intercept as it gets 2 framed fairly easily or loses to counterattacks which can leave vulnerable to gimps and edgeguards. While Wolf has good range in many of his attacks, he can have trouble against characters who have longer disjoints than him, such as {{SSBU|Roy}}, {{SSBU|Chrom}}, and {{SSBU|R.O.B.}} Finally, Wolf can have difficulty scoring KO's since his most potent finishers have long startup.

Overall, Wolf has the tools to deal with every character in the game and a solid fundamental gameplan for players to pick up. He functions like a glass cannon, being able to dish out damage with a strong neutral and advantage while having poor offstage survivability and being easy to juggle. His strengths significantly outweigh his weaknesses, however, and Wolf has attained a lot of representation across the board through ''Ultimate'''s lifespan; he was among one of the most-played characters in tournaments in 2019, resorting to several top players having a pocket Wolf. He is still relatively popular in today's meta, mainly piloted by players such as {{Sm|Jakal}}, {{Sm|Ouch!?}}, {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, and {{Sm|Oryon}}.
