Captain, it's not necessarily based on who can beat who, but who does better overall, and as per tournament results, ZSS has been doing well (Snakeee, myRoboticClaw) and I forget the other characters in our tier haha.

lol, well ZSS and a few other chars im not to sure on since not many players down here play ZSS. Im sure there's a legitimate answer as you've already stated, but it just pisses me of to see him at the rank he is when I KNOW he can be much higher, even if it's only up by 2.

I personally think Snakeee is better (not to say that claw isn't amazing). When I saw him at my first tournament, it made me want to learn ZSS, the guy is freakin amazing. I don't know of any great wolfs on either coast that place in tournies...

Snakeee places better more consistently I think than Claw (Not sure), but Claw's still amazing, he placed very well at WCSL. Either way, they're both very good. And I believe the reason Peach is above us is due to Azen, he uses Peach frequently at tournaments...who knows. There aren't any Wolf players in the SBR (I don't think) and he doesn't place at tournaments. Once he gets those tournament placings he'll be upper on the tier list. But who cares about the tier list? Wolf is a well rounded character, except for recovery.

I'm from WA, so I don't really know much about the WC placings very well, especially with all the "quitting" that's been going on lately with our best players. It's become a huge nuisance here.

Anyways, I personally believe the reason that Wolf isn't placing well is that the more common characters that show up counter Wolf pretty hard. Dedede is one of the main characters in this case it seems.

You forgot Candy!!! WC doesn't seem to have any wolfs except Castor so it's all up to him. Equi is atlantic south afaik and chexr just won a tourney in midwest again (if it wasn't for him Wolf had no placings at all -__-).

And don't forget the EU Wolves: Gaki and Gheb XD

I think he's midtier. He's a good character to main, since he has some fast attacks and some slower attacks that do a lot of knockback. and he's sort of heavy, so he'll survive a while, and his aerials are amazing, especially if you can juggle with uair.

But he can be hard to use, especially since a lot of noobs use wolf flash off of the edge. And he's not really the fastest character, either.

Overall, he's a great character, some people just don't know how to use him or can't get a feel for him. But I'm maining Wolf because he's a balanced character with a great moveset.

Ahhhh guys? Wolf isn't high tier anymore....... I think he's actually on the bottom half of the tier list now.... http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=214428
You're right, but why would Wolf be on the bottom half of the tier list? He's an awesome character, and a lot of people are maining him. He has a lot of techs too like wolf flash cancel.

And he also flicks you off in the SE, which is haradcore.

It's a shame, isn't it? I heard that Deva quit, that made me pretty sad.

Yeah, but doesn't Candy actually main snake? I heard of some wolf up in NY called Zen, I think, but never seen videos or anything. Forgot about the EU though >_> Still, that's not a lot...

EDIT: Actually, there are vids of Zen. He's pretty good.

If you wanna beat D3, second Falco, sorry to say, but thats it. As for MK, your Bair outranges his Fair if the Fair is on its 3rd hit, and your air speed is better then MK's, so bait his Fair, then punish with your Bair, MK isn't that hard.
