Waluigi signed on to Smash Bros with a three-game assist trophy contract

As much as I want Waluigi as a character in Smash, I think Sakurai wants him to have his own game first or have potential for a moveset

Waluigi unfortunately only has, what, pinball to differentiate him? He needs to actually get his own game first and develop more of a unique personality and gimmicks like wario and Luigi have done

No one cares about him
also
>smash thread
Eww

He has been nothing but party game filler at this point. He doesn't even appear in any Wario game for crying out loud.

He's getting in eventually

gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-very-aware-you-want-waluigi-in-super-smas/1100-6463390/

There are a lot of interesting directions you could take it too, like how much of a mirror of Luigi is he? Is he brave, is he genuinely malicious
Having him as a moustache twirling old timey 1920s cartoon villain tying people to train tracks might be cool

Uhhh just because they are aware doesn’t mean he is
I’m sure they are aware that people want goku to

Any reasons to why Alph didn't get to be an Echo?

Goku isn't a video game character, of course he's never getting in, Sakurai has already said no Manga characters are allowed.

At least use a better character as an example

Because even the amount of people who give the remotest shit about Waluigi > the amount of people who want a second Pikmin rep

Give Waluigi a gun

More like
>He's existed for nearly 20 years at this point and he has not once set foot in a mainline Mario game or his own game series

Even Daisy you could say has appeared in Mario Land and Mario Run (which Nintendo considers to be a mainline Mario platformer)

because waluigi is a shitty meme with no character besides going ''wah'' in a more nasal way than wario

This. He doesn’t hate waluigi, he just understands that AT status is the best place for him right now. People complain about wasted slots, but until Waluigi’s been in a Wario game and has abilities unique to his “mustache-twirling villain” character it would simply be a shame to have him in smash as “party game rep”

I mean yeah, but Sakurai being willing to completely fabricate his moveset is a long shot

Because the primary motivation of echoes now is to use new animation and voice clips to represent the personality of a character, which Alph doesn’t necessarily need to be properly represented given how Olimar is in smash atm

Don't worry Wahbro, you will join the fight someday, ignore the haters and don't give up.

waluigi is not unique and has no moveset potential of his own.

he's also not interesting in the slightest.

Fuck off Pikmin hater

I'd be salty as hell if our mario slot for the next game was wasted on fucking waluigi. The one choice that's even more boring than Toad.

> He says this when Rosalina got in the game before

As far as moveset personality, there isn't much to differentiate him from any outlying Mario character not currently in Smash.
Also this

alph is indistinguishable from olimar in everything except the most basic level of his design. He is LITERALLY just blue olimar.

Why is Isaac not in then?

So Wario wants money and Waluigi wants power right? Doesn't he try to take over the world in at least one game?

>a character in a mainline game with a unique gimmick got in before a spinoff shoe in

>He's already forgotten about Piranha Plant

Fine Kageth no Dentsu : Cageth

He's just low priority.

Just admit you are a waifufag

I never implied that rosalina was a good inclusion. Stop being paranoid waluigiredditor.

PP is a good inclusion. He's interesting and has a lot to pull from. He isn't just another human mario character. Waluigi would be the opposite of that, only he's just as big of a """"meme"""" pick.

That poster wasn't me, but again, nowhere in my original post did I bring up rosalina at all.

Why are waluigiredditors so fucking paranoid? have the shitty memes gone to their heads?

Sneed

Piranha Plant has several abilities unique to itself. I cannot say the same for Waluigi beyond his water move in Power Tennis.

> M-Muh mainline Game!
You do know that Super Mario Maker is considered a Mainline game right? And guess who's in it.

That's right, you retards just got BTFO

>He's interesting and has a lot to pull from
They literally had to pull from multiple characters that weren't him to comprise his moveset. He's a flower that goes in and out of a tube bro
Waluigi needs more to be truly good atm, but he's still a better pick than toad and they could have easily cobbled together a moveset for him from assorted Mario/sports games like they did for PP

He gets a whip, builds a wall web.archive.org/web/20100730234649/http://gamervision.com/users/coop/articles/ten_reasons_waluigi_is_awesome

>They literally had to pull from multiple characters that weren't him to comprise his moveset.
those are all piranha plants, yes? I don't see the problem here. piranha plant is not a character. It is a species.

>they could have easily cobbled together a moveset for him from assorted Mario/sports games
those moves could be shared by literally any mario character that has ever been in a sports game. this doesn't help waluigi at all.

That's not actually Waluigi, though. That's just Mario wearing a Waluigi costume.

It's no different from the Waluigi costume in Mario Odyssey.

Wut? Why are you bringing up Isaac? He is just not in for different reasons.

Waluigi is treated as a Mario rep

His name is literally Petey Piranha and the different moves have him morph into different colours and varieties that aren't his type and the spike move is from a non pp enemy so not really, plus
>human is not a character. It is a species
So don't be disingenuous.

>Pointy face and different moustache

>It's barely used!
they know

Now THIS is autism. Why are you so autistic about this?

Also you’re objectively wrong about him being Petey, he even summons Petey (a completely separate character) for his final smash

Waluigi is not a better pick than toad now that Captain Toad exists.

>Sakurai isn't sure if he should treat Waluigi as a Mario rep or a Wario rep

Mario rep of course. Waluigi has nothing to do with Wario series

>Sakurai want to do Waluigi justice and not just make him a clone of Wario

Why would he be Wario clone? He has entirely diffrent body shape. It makes no sense.

What we know so far about Waluigi
>He wants his time in the spotlight
>He has a lot of self pity and is willing to cheat
>He wants power and to rule the world
>He can build a wall
>He owns an island full of traps and explosives
>He has a giant pinball table with the best soundtrack in Mario Kart DS
>He can flood the level
>He was born from a tennis game so he's the natural rep for every Mario series sports and party game (soccer, baseball, tennis, golf, kart, Mario party, etc)

He still needs his own game and his personality fleshed out more though before he would be really worth a spot

He also likes to dance and is fond of roses

One of Sakurai's rules when choosing a character (an actual rule, not just arbitrary rosterfag shit) is being able to first envision their moveset in his head, because Waluigi doesn't have his own game yet to give him an identity, it is understandable that Sakurai is not promoting him from lanky tennis man.

I had my own idea for what kind of direction they could take with Waluigi. In a nutshell, make him an attention whore. So you have:

Wario
>greedy
>brute
>jumps head first into danger without thinking too much about it
>reeks of confidence and willpower
>often exploits his friends for personal gain
>ultimate goal is to be as rich as possible

Waluigi
>attention starved loner (you can have a meta joke about not even Nintendo giving him attention)
>wimpy, though very agile (superb athlete and dancer)
>likes to plan ahead (self proclaimed brilliant evil schemes like the twirly mustache he is) and often overthinks
>uses Wario as his role model to remain confident
>has no friends because nobody likes him (jealous of Luigi because of this, both lived in the shadows but Luigi ascended while he didn't)
>ultimate goal is to become famous so people will love him

And them you have it, Wario and Waluigi, fame and fortune. His games could range from rhythm games to real time strategy and point and click adventures. This would be a new direction currently not covered by any major Mario character.

>Waluigi RTS
Fucking fund it
>WAHcraft 3

Maybe it’s because his most noteworthy characteristic is not being playable in smash

How about
>Waluigi has no real personality to work off of or any actual influence in the Mario franchise as a whole
>inb4 Daisy
She's an echo/clone which requires the almost no real effort to add. Sakurai even said like 8 echo's take about as much time to make one full actual fighter. Waluigi doesn't really have anyone which he can be a clone to.
>inb4 Plant
Plant is one of the most recurring Mario mooks in the franchise, appearing in quite possibly every single console Mario game ever. He has far more influence than Waluigi just for that.

Want him to be in Smash? Ask Nintendo to actually make him a game first.

>Waluigi has no real personality to work off of
This is actually the least true thing you could have typed, more has been said about Waluigi's personality than any of the 4 hatbois
>He's jealous
>he's full of self pity
>He wants the spotlight badly
>He's willing to cheat to get his way
Now try describing Wario
>He's greedy and hypermasculine
Or Luigi
>He's scared
Or Mario
>

He's a non character

That's every villain in existence.

Pretending Waluigi has a personality by saying he's a cheater and greedy and then dismissing Warios various unique traits is stupid and self serving

>Now try describing Wario
See Wario has a lot of personality, not like it matters since Sakurai just turned into le stinky fart man.

>He's jealous
>he's full of self pity
>He wants the spotlight badly
>He's willing to cheat to get his way
Everything you just typed is not remotely conveyed in his appearances and mostly just fancanon and one interview by the creator that said he was jealous of Luigi.

Anybody who seriously wants Waluigi in should jump in front of a shuttle bus.

Yeah because a fighting game is about personality

He has something that sets him apart, which is what Sakurai wants for newcomers.

Would Yea Forums be content with Brawl- Waluigi getting in?

>Mario
Bright, optimistic, athletic, courageous, fighter, can do attitude, friendly, polite, strong

>Waluigi
Mean, cheater, self absorbed
>Wario
Mean, cheater, self absorbed
>Bowser Jr
Mean, cheater, self absorbed
>Bowser
Mean, cheater, self absorbed

The fact that Punch-Out didn't get an assist trophy is a crime

Pretty much this. There's no reason to even consider him being a wario rep when he hasn't even been mentioned in any wario games

>Possible reasons Waluigi still isn't playable in Smash bros.

Because he wanted to add more FE characters

ANd you youre LITERALLLY just a retard if you believe that. Its like comparing Cartoons to Anime, there is a huge fucking difference in design and character.

What about birdo and captain toad?

Going to get in Smash before Waluigi.

Not "fancanon", the actual appearances in games he's been in and the long running series voice actor for all four of the Italians are the source for those

Nowhere did I say he was greedy dumbass, learn to read

Anyone ever thought up a good moveset for waluigi? I've thought of a few things:

Neutral B: Throws a rose projectile which does low damage and knockback but gives the enemy the flower rebuff (so far I think Jigglypuffs rest is the only move to do this)

Side B: Waluigi strikes a quick pose and pirouettes, spinning forward a decent distance then spinning backward to his starting point doing multi hit damage a long the way

Down B: drops a small bob-omb in front of him which walks back and forth slowly patrolling a small area but lasts a long time. Waluigi can have two out at once

Up B: I have no fucking idea

>No idea
He makes a damaging wall
>Final smash
Floods the stage

It’s time for Bethesda to get a rep

He should represent all the Mario game supplementary material
> Neutral B
Tennis Racket. Low damage but far launch and can reflect projectiles
>Side B
Go-Kart. Functions similarly to Wario's Bike
>Down B
Party Die. Gives him a random buff or debuff for a 4 seconds depending on what you roll. Has a 45 second cooldown.
1: MiniMushroom effect
2:Flower
3:Low attack/speed
4:Increase attack/speed
5:Super Mushroom effect
6:Gold effect
>Up B
Strikers Kick. Fiery kick upwards. If hits an enemy, Waluigi will take them up with him before launching them downwards

Am I out of the loop? When did waluigi build walls or flood things?

These types of posts are what make me glad he's not in

But doing thst completely ignores Waluigi as a character

What character?
You mean the ones made up by fans and Charles Martinet?

I've only got a little bit so far, let me know what you think.
>side B: runs slowly forward, swinging his arms
>if he runs into an enemy, that enemy is buried
>jab: just a quick series of stomps, speed similar to Fox's kicks
>F smash: hits opponent with tennis racket
>Down B: vanishes because assist trophies are only out for so long

Except very little of Olimar is even characterized. He just has some little whistle VA clips. Until Olimar himself is characterized better, there’s no reason to separate out Alph for some minor distinctions. Daisy and Peach, Samus and Dark Samus, and especially Simon and Richter benefit way more from being separated, as they wouldn’t even be themselves as just an alt of the original.

I at least wish they’d give Olimar and Alph their separate voice clips

Captain Toad absolutely has a shot at Smash. I’m surprised he wasn’t added given his newfound characterization, but if they were planning PP that explains why. He was probably in the running

In random party games. This is the thing that bothers me. These are most misc moves that were pasted onto him in shit like Strikers, and have no basis on his character otherwise

Poor man's Dick Dastardly

Ex-fucking-xactly

Charles Martinet has been voicing 90% of the cast since 1990 and considering his voice acting conveys the character, his word is good enough law to be implemented in a Smash game

So noncanon projections not actually written to him by Nintendo.

Kay.

That's part of why they're so fun, they're completely out of left field.
Also the wall thing was a pun by the soccer devs
WALLuigi

Waluig is not a Wario character and is not treated as part of the Wario franchise. If he gets in Smash then he'll be considered a Mario character instead.

no, and neither would I, because it fucking sucks and makes up so much shit in the dumbest way possible.
>but muh falcon!
just as dumb.

>ANd you youre LITERALLLY just a retard if you believe that.
nope, I'm right. even in the actual Pikmin games, Alph has MINIMAL differences from Olimar. In smash, he's just blue olimar, in the pikmin series, he's just olimar-lite.

Smash already changed Olimar's personality to just be "cute little bubbly bounce midget man!!!!" What reason would there be to separate alph from that, when he is ALREADY closer to actually being that than Olimar. Did you even fucking think before making that post?
