Wolf Matchup (Samus)

ChatGPT Matchup Summary (Win Condition and Game Plan)

Samus wants to stop Wolf’s Jab 1, Jab 2, and Jab 3 with Up B (4f), OOS Uair (8f), OOS Fair (9f), and Grab (10f), then force Wolf back outside Side B and Grab to keep stage control.
In Samus vs Wolf, the stable plan is to avoid playing directly into Wolf’s Side B and Grab and take the landing or ledge route before Wolf can reset.
The table shows that Wolf’s Jab 1, Jab 2, and Jab 3 can be answered by Samus’s Up B (4f), OOS Uair (8f), OOS Fair (9f), and Grab (10f), so those overcommitments should be cashed out immediately.
For Samus, Wolf’s Side B and Grab are still hard to hit immediately out of shield, so reading the landing spot or ledge route matters more than forcing an early swing.

Full Move Frame Quick Reference

Win Condition Checklist

• Samus should not play directly into Wolf’s Side B and Grab; wait for Wolf’s Jab 1, Jab 2, and Jab 3 and answer with Up B (4f), OOS Uair (8f), OOS Fair (9f), and Grab (10f).
• After Samus blocks Wolf’s Jab 1, Jab 2, and Jab 3, pick the reachable option from Up B (4f), OOS Uair (8f), OOS Fair (9f), and Grab (10f) immediately.
• Samus should not mash after Wolf’s Side B and Grab; take the landing route, escape route, or ledge route first.
• Samus should finish stocks by breaking Wolf’s landing and recovery routes so Side B and Grab does not get more neutral reps.

Actions to Avoid

• Letting Wolf start the exchange on Side B and Grab terms and giving Samus’s stage control away for free.
• Having Samus block Wolf’s Jab 1, Jab 2, and Jab 3 but never answer with Up B (4f), OOS Uair (8f), OOS Fair (9f), and Grab (10f).
• Sending Samus too deep after Wolf’s Side B and Grab and letting the reset punish the chase back.
• Panicking at the ledge as Samus and simplifying Wolf’s Side B and Grab-driven advantage sequence.
