This match-up is extremely one sided for whoever gets knocked into the corner first. 2C is good but only if the Valk loves to come from above in wolf form, Chicken Blocking his wolf form pressure is ideal but watch for command grab, Mystic Momo is your best friend in this matchup. Learn the angles and trajectory of each item. I really do hate saying this but, random Mami Circular does help in this matchup with Wolf form, his Wolf 5B beats/trades in his favor against all of your air to ground pokes, unless you have Hammer, Pan or Cat. Those 3 items in the air are extremely good to use against Wolf 5B spam.

tl;dr:

2C is a good AA, but don't rely on it heavily.

Get him to the corner, DO NOT LET HIM OUT.

Don't get put in the corner. Once you're there, you're pretty much done, unless you have bat or he screws up.

Zone him out with Mystic Momo, missiles or bombs.

Don't jump at him, unless you have an item that can beat Wolf 5B.
