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, while borrowing some few elements from his design in Star Fox Assault.
  •   Wolf now stands upright consistently similar to Yoshi and Bowser, and now holds a new pose instead of standing upright for a second and then hunching over.
  •   Wolf has a new dashing animation.
  •   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.
  •   Like many other characters, Wolf is now more expressive.
  •   Wolf now has a different crouching animation.

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
  •   Wolf appears to have a new Final Smash where he uses his Wolfen alongside his crew.

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.
