Wolf Balance Changes

Balance Philosophy

Nerf around three moves per character that are too oppressive inside an already strong kit. Not every suggestion needs to be implemented.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

1. Forward air

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   33 frames of end lag and 12 frames of landing lag.

   Current issue

   It combos into itself or into another attack while being hard to react to.

2. Down tilt

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Slightly increased knockback.

   Current issue

   It leads into good combos while being safe to throw out.

   Reason

   Makes those follow-ups harder to land.

3. Neutral air

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   End lag increased to 18 frames.

   Current issue

   It is very low risk to throw out.
