Wolf's Blaster (Japanese: クローブラスタ, Claw Blaster) is his neutral special move in Super Smash Bros Brawl. It is a gun with a bayonet attached beneath its barrel, that fires green projectile lasers. Its firing rate is much slower than that of Fox and Falco's counterpart weapons, as Wolf is animated drawing and holstering it for each shot, and its range is the shortest, with lasers that travel about two-thirds of the length of Final Destination. However, its shots deal a small amount of knockback that is not set, and 5-6% damage, the most damage of all three blasters. The blaster also serves as a melee weapon, delivering an extra 5% damage and considerable knockback to foes if it contacts them. When fired from the ground, the vertical range of the lasers' hitboxes make contact with the floor, and will hit any ducking or crawling opponent (such as a ducking Kirby), and can detonate any landmines that Snake may have laid. It should be noted that the damage dealt by each laser lessens slightly as it travels forward.

Origin

Fox first uses a blaster in Star Fox 64's multiplayer and is depicted with one in artwork and screenshots. Falco, Slippy, and Peppy also use blasters in the game's multiplayer while on the ground. While the blaster wasn't an official weapon in every Star Fox game up until Star Fox: Assault, it - like the reflector (which is Smash Bros.-exclusive) - was popularized outside of the Star Fox series in all three Super Smash Bros. games. In every game, Fox's blaster design seems to be indentical to the one used in Star Fox 64, despite its upgraded appearance in Assault. Wolf's blaster is also an example of a Super Smash Bros.-exclusive weapon inspired by weapons in older Star Fox games.
