[@zh-r4442]

Ooh I think it goes one level deeper because you're not wrong. When dealing with Wolfgang in episode 1, he was patient and formal since he knew he had no leverage. It seems to be the small stuff that makes him lose his cool! -Learning what happened to his clothes got on his nerves -Being called "Starfox" set him off -Even if it was a joke video, Wolfgang getting on his hide about Halloween REALLY set him off -Falco mocking them over a game got under his skin And that's just basic stuff! We haven't even seen Wolfgang make a pass at his dad yet! (it was teased in a large update stream a year or so ago) Fox has pet peeves and I love it ❤

[@trashteamracing8262]

He can't stand it when he isn't taken seriously. Maybe it's some inferiority of being the son of a (presumed) dead hero pilot. Wolf especially knows how to press his buttons too, having known him as a kid.
