Introduction
Wolfgang Krauser is mixture of a zoning character like Sagat from Street Fighter and a character who also utilizes his grapple combos up close and personal.
Pros:
- Hits like a truck
- Invincibility on both versions of his dual sobat kicks
- Lift up blow has great range, and has not much risk if whiffed (Does C version Blitz Ball)
- Fireballs and Kaiser Wave are decent
- Great movement speed for a grapple based character
Cons:
- Both versions of leg tomahawk if blocked leave Krauser open to a free combo.
- His best AA normal only comes out if the opponent is near him (Close D)
- Alot of his heavy attacks are heavily unsafe up close
- Big hitboxes
- Has trouble with rushdown, and people who zone better than him.

Strategies
Basics
- You can end most heavy attack blockstrings with B version Kaiser Dual Sobat. It's safe on block and by the time they recover out of block stun, there is very little they can retaliate with.
- If you score a knockdown from anything expect Kaiser Kick. Timing a B or D version Blitz Ball on their wakeup is a safe 50/50.
- Take advantage of that Lift up blow has stupid amount of range to cancel into, as well as invincibility against mashy opponents.
- Try to get into Max mode if you can. This is where Krauser's true damage potential is shown.
