Introduction

Rolf is a powerful character whose toolkit prepares him for most situations in the game. He can safely anti-air, catch back dashes, pressure with block strings, and deal massive damage with his combos. He has good air mobility with his double jump, which also prevents him from being juggled easily. Speaking of juggles, Rolf's juggle game is one of the best in the game. Both of his A and B attacks continues juggles, and his double jump allows him to catch up to opponents who are too far away during a juggle sequence.

-Rolf's main weakness is his lack of a consistent guard cancel. Often, his Planet Breaker does not connect properly out of guard cancel, which leaves him more vulnerable than when he was blocking. He either has to guard cancel a back dash, or commit to a grab. Rolf can also guard cancel a dash hoping he can cross-up with Rapid Crush, but he risks being hit by a stray attack during the block string.
