Resources:

1. Wolf Command List with Frame Data

This is worth keeping open while you practice and play. It's best to hit the "view" button in the upper right corner in order to set the display it to a flat list view so you can have everything on one page


The command list can be sort by clicking the columns headers at the top. So, for example, if you click on the "GRD" column header then the command list will be sorted based on each move's recovery when it is guarded. Clicking one time sorts from lowest-to-highest value; clicking another time sorts from highest-to-lowest.




This is useful when looking at other characters moves as you can quickly find out what is block punishable. You can of course use this to find out which are your fastest moves, or which moves have the most actives frames e.t.c. Have fun, there's a lot to discover here

Additionally, you can click a move for a more detailed breakdown on it and an image of what the move looks like. This should really help you familiarize with Vanessa's movelist!




2. Wolf Combo List

Here you can find a curated list of Wolf combos. The guidelines for posting combos mean that most sub-optimal combos won't be featured in these combo lists (even if they re perfectly serviceable!).
Despite that caveat, there's still a LOT of information to absorb, so you might want to refrain from using the flat list view option initially, to avoid getting overwhelmed.

If you're unsure of what an input means, please hover over the icon for it and a handy box should appear explaining more.

To find combos for against a specific character you can simply click the icon for their name and it will filter only combos with that character in the list. This is great for those bigger or more awkward characters.


Just like the command list headers, the combo lists column headers are also clickable.

For the most part the combo lists tend to ordered in the same fashion: first are listed combos that work on everyone, including Taka who is the heaviest character, then progressively combos that only work on lighter characters. Most of the time this also means that combos are ordered from least to more damaging.




However, sometimes that's not the case e.g. Taka is the only character that can take a combo from .

Super helpful, thank you.

I am really enjoying the chance to get back into VF thanks to US, though diving straight into ranked has given me a lot of bad habits which are massively found out now I'm above Hunter! Most clearly demonstrated by being lucky enough to get a match against Mister the other day... plus best of 3 doesn't give much chance to learn against individuals. Time to un-learn and re-learn.
