----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to another episode of Challenger Approaching! In this series, we discuss characters who could find their way into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or future entries, then go into ludicrous detail on what they would be like if they joined the fight for real!
This time, we're covering someone who needs no introduction. A notable figure from the most celebrated franchise in gaming, Waluigi is always a major point in Smash speculation...until he turns out to be an Assist Trophy, something we've seen three times now and counting. But despite always being overshadowed by his peers from the Mushroom Kingdom, he's managed a steady support base with each new Smash game. Though it becomes difficult to tell who among them is genuinely interested in the guy, who merely believes the Mario side of the roster is incomplete without him, and who is just there to follow all the memes, there is always an audience ready to entertain the idea that he might make the jump from summon to playable one day.
So, what if that did happen? Whether as part of Ultimate's DLC, or as part of a future Smash game? Let's see just how Waluigi's array of abilities and appearances, and what we know of his personality and motivations, could help him stand out as a unique fighter.

You know what I love about Waluigi?
Mario, Luigi, Wario, Peach, they're all "star children" blessed with great power. This is why they're capable of doing all the crazy things they do.
Waluigi, though? He's just a guy. Multiple games specifically state he trains hard to match their power with his skill, and cheats because he beleives the odds are unfair.
Waluigi hates everyone else and pities himself because they were freely given what he's fighting for. The only way he could even garner _any_ recognition was to dress up like the Mario Brothers! Nobody cared who he was until he put on the overalls.
I don't know about you, but that sounds like some FANTASTIC villain motivation!
I think the problem is your perspective is just an observation from realworld, but we actually don't know what kind of character Waluigi is in game as NIntendo never tried to explain. Maybe Waluigi is busy in his own adventures or schemes? Who knows. What we really need to having Nintendo give Waluigi a focus in games so that we can clearly tell what his role is in official perspective.
Just like a student is always silent in class so you imagine that she is bullied by her classmates, but actually she just likes to be quite, and all her classmates rather like her.
Never thought about it like that before
@@Marcelo-rs8yh He a filler character not made by Nintendo so he not getting a game.
@@INFERNO95 Waluigi isn't a filler character. By your logic, Mario is a filler character. He was originally created to be a replacement for Popeye in the ort Donkey Kong arcade game. He's sure as hell a lot more now. Waluigi may have been originally created to be a tennis partner for Wario, but that's not his only purpose. Waluigi is has become much more. He's appeared in every Mario Tennis game, every Mario Party since Mario Party 3, every Mario Kart since Double Dash besides MK7, every Mario and Sonic game, every Mario Baseball game, every Mario Hoops game, was the main antagonist of Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, and many more. He's appeared in over 60 games. That's not filler. That argument is extremely weak. Also, it doesn't matter if Nintendo didn't make him. They own the rights to him.
He should be the main villain in a Mario game. The plot could be the same as always, either Peach or some magic beings are captured, Mario and friends have to save them. But when most people would expect the kidnapper to be Bowser, it's revealed that it was Waluigi all along, and all that he wanted was to get the spotlight for at least once, because if he can't get it in any other way, the only way left is to just become the villain, even if that means getting defeated like every other villain is, cause in the end of the day he got one chance to shine
Really fond of the notion of things going wrong with his taunts.
It gives me the idea of 'things going wrong' for some of his moves, like how Luigi's Green Missile will go haywire at random. Really neat!
Weird, unwanted, funny, and notably sensual.
The eggplant is to Waluigi what garlic is to Wario.
Well, the 2nd most popular Waluigi meme, after his failings in Smash, is that he's some sort of sex god
And purple
@@lluma8153 And long
Waluigi had the best slide tackle in Charged so good choice and giving Waluigi a low profile move is a must at his height.
Much better than mega man's or ganon's
Characters always seem to get a ton of hate for being memes when Steve and Sans got the biggest reactions in this entire game. If anything being a meme helps quite a lot!
Huh, I’ve never thought about it like that before
I see you every where
Steve and sans are main characters from there games. Waluigi is a filler side character.
@@INFERNO95 Incorrect. He is not.
@@INFERNO95 Sans is a side character
I've sung my songs of praises for this series and this channel before, but I just can't state enough about the sheer quality of Delzethin's work and how underappreciated it is. Not only does he makes great character concepts, but he also understands some of the major philosophies and thought processes of creating a fighting game character. Also, blend that with reoccurring topics in the fandom, and you have one of the best Smash creators in the RUclips scene! Here's to more fabulous videos in the future my man!
i dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the account password. I love any help you can give me
@Orion Travis instablaster =)
@Jacob River Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Jacob River it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out :D
@Orion Travis Glad I could help xD
it'd be so cool if you made a de-cloning series for the clone fighters. i understand why they are the way they are, but they have so much lost potential.
Thank you for incorporating Destruction Dance as a final smash, I've heard a bunch of different finals ideas but this one to me sounds the best. They should also add the song to the game.
I honestly like Waluigi exactly because he's so underapreciated by Nintendo and would love to see him get a deserved spotlight in smash at least
Nintendo didn't make him.
@@INFERNO95 Doesn't mean people can't like him or ask for him to get recognition. Plus, since Nintendo has featured Waluigi in many games developed by him, I'd argue they own the rights to Waluigi.
people say this and he appears in every spinoff game, like??
You kind mistake the order, tho. Since NIntendo already dislike Waluigi in general games, Nintendo would still not want to put Waluigi in Smash. Like, Cinderella had been disliked by her stepmother, so why would you expect her to bring her to the rotal party and let her meet the prince?
They should already like him in most games, and then they would consider him for Smash. That's the right logic.
Pre Video: Waluigi is one of those characters that I have seen drastically different moveset interpretations of over time. Some focussing on Mario Spinoffs, some on him breaking the fourth wall. I made a concept involving him imitating the attacks of other fighters, but poorly. Let's see how Delzethin handles it!
Edit: This is the best Waluigi moveset I've ever seen. GG Delzethin.
Same, the weirdest one I've seen is him using time manipulation and knives, for some reason.
@@peacorptv6502 Za Waaahhhhrudo
Yeah I'd have to say this is the best and most cohesive Waluigi moveset I've seen too
I like this moveset, but the one done by Max Hamm will always be my favorite Waluigi moveset imo
@@peacorptv6502 that could be bizarre reference, but I can't place my finger on what.
Major props for giving visual references / examples to moves when you talk about them. It really helps to sell these, and it's much appreciated.
These are all the basic ideas behind other Smash RUclipsrs that I’ve seen before this one:
Brawlfan1: mostly references to the Mario spinoffs and was also based off a moveset concept he made for Daisy before she became playable
DukeofDorks: the Deadpool of Smash
Max Hamm: Smash moveset gone completely insane/someone might have been on drugs while making this
And now this one which shares some similarities to all 3 honestly. In fact, every Waluigi moveset I’ve seen has some random elements or awkward/ weird attributes, and the best part is that all of them fit. Waluigi is a joke character at heart even when you ignore all the memes, so people having a lot of different ideas as to how he could work is part of the fun of talking about him. Overall, this is a well done moveset for the Great Grandmaster of Wah along with all the others. Well done.
There's a guy on Smashfaqs who made a moveset for him built around time manipulation and knives...
...Yeah, I really don't know why.
@@peacorptv6502 WAIWAIWAIWAI- HOLDONHOLDONHOLDON! WAS- WAS THAT A J- *WAS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?!*
I think the problem is in NIntendo and Director Sakurai's view, if they can just create random or original moveset, they can do this for any character especially the one they like, so we wouldn't know who'd win this. Like Plant Piranha is literally just like what you mean and it wins, so clearly this idea doesn't help Waluigi only
The point is Waluigi had to compete against many characters who have participated in other major games with completed moveset concept. We should think if Waluigi has a major game role, that would help him much better in the Smash invite competition.
This moveset is actually great. I think Waluigi will no doubt enter in the next game, and he could be pretty similar to this. I also think Waluigi could get his own game sometime in the future, so, if that ever happens, they will for sure try to implement elements from it. Only thing I'm not so sure of this moveset is the Down B though, maybe it's too much to alter stages like that, both from a programming and design standpoint but it's certainly interesting. Maybe it could affect fighters directly, causing status effects or triggering surprise attacks, like poison, stunning the enemy or just exploding and dealing damage, all at random. Or maybe even nothing at all!
Other than that, the moveset is great, certainly better than others I've seen that try to get as many sports and references as possible.
Waluigi could get his Soccer uniform from Strikers, and I think He's kinda like the DC character Sportsmaster, and that would be the best way to make his moveset based off all the Sports and even Kart tricks He has had.
Yeah, I can see that. Having Waluigi's moveset take inspiration from Casey Jones or Sportmaster seems weirdly fitting considering Waluigi's history with the Mario Sports spin-offs.
This could work. Have a move set with tennis racket, soccer ball, kart finisher, Mario party powers, etc.
@@thegreygoblin5165 The problem is Waluigi isn't known for soccer and sports. If we need sport, shouldn't we scout characters who were actually born from a sport game franchise?
It could be awesome if Waluigi's up smash launched a tennis ball as a projectile while the down Smash is the flurry amount of kicks that buries the opponent.
Delzethin is the type of guy who could convince you that someone like Q*Bert can be a Fighter.
Finally someone else thinks Waluigi should have an item box attack
Waluigi is more than just a meme and I always get shit on for saying I actually want him in. People tell me there is no reason for him to be in Or doesn’t represent anything. But I always saw it as he represented the losers, the underdogs, the kid who was always picked last for the team. And although it seems strange for me to say this (or not) I used video games to escape the harshness of the real world (not gonna get into that I’m cool now) and yet Waluigi and his silly attire and attributes were always there to make me happy. And yet here I am a 21 year old guy rambling about Waluigi
Did you just reference Isabelles letter to Waluigi
@@mentallyinstablewario4432 yes I did it was to Beautiful not to
Besides he does represent things the spin offs
Daisy could have but no she’s orange peach and quite frankly that a travesty
@@jmurray1110 But all main cast rerpresent all Mario games. So that makes the unused characters optional when Mario represents this series.
I really like Waluigi, whether for the memes or just as a character in general and I'm always a bit bummed that people dismiss him because he's "just" a meme. Great moveset concept. I do wonder where the ground-stomp he uses as an Assist Trophy went, though.
Down smash
Not just a meme: iRrElEvAnT
@@LordTchernobog Or he should be relevant since he is a main cast?
Ah yes, it is time.
*Waluigi Time.*
I've unironically wanted Waluigi for years and this is probably my favorite take on what he could bring to Smash.
This is the best move set I’ve seen for waluigi. Love the item box.
Best Waluigi moveset I’ve seen. Others take way too much liberty with how movesets typically work.
This is probably my favorite move set for Waluigi
While Waluigi Hasn't made an appearance in the main series games, he certainly exists. He has been referenced to. For example, Mario can wear his outfit in Super Mario Odyssey.
2:52 I know this isn't official or canon, but Charles Martinet (the voice of these characters and the Mario Bros.) believes that Wario and Waluigi were just two bad guys that met each other one day and got along pretty well.
So the problem is always that Nintendo seem to ignore it when they made Wario's own series. Like, Waluigi sure also gets along with Jimmy and Mona, too.
id love for waluigis moveset to be absolutely ridiculous. the man can swim in the air and create thorny vines out of thin air he is so weird just go absolutely INSANE with it. im glad the air swimming got referenced
tantrum as the down smash sounds amazing its a fittingly ridiculous idea for a move and is very in character!! LOVE the taunts too
If you haven't already you can also check this one moveset out.
ruclips.net/video/WMt2d6nDNuA/видео.html
AS a waluigi fan who's been dressing up as him for the past 4 years for holloween
Yes this is amazing
I've seen some other movesets and I think a mix of all of them would be great
I like what you did with his normal attacks and final smash
And I love what ssf2 did with specials a mix of both of them would be amazing
If you don't mind, I'll be sharing this other moveset video.
ruclips.net/video/WMt2d6nDNuA/видео.html
I love waluigi! He needs to come to smash
What about 3D World?
I sure hope you've got a future in game making with all of these ideas!
YO HE'S FAUST? LETS GO!
Unexpected comparison, but makes a surprising amount of sense
For the box I think to make Waluigi worth it he could have just about every Mario kart item. It’d still be random and if you’re argument is that it’s too much, Hero has 20 spells all randomly displayed 5 at a time.
No matter how much Sakurai tries to keep him out of the game, he always comes back. 🐰
hes coming soon
@@niteriemcfarlane5285
We have a place for him
@@BlueJack222 so called place can't hold him forever hes inevitable mvahahahahahaha
What about other games Waluigi wasn't in?
I really like this moveset! Hopefully in the next game we get something like this!
Fitting that this showed up on my home page right after watching a Waluigi-related video.
Your voice reminds me a lot of Glumshanks In the Skylanders series! I love it!
Waluigi must be in smash
This is for sure one of the better Waluigi movesets I've seen, but I still have a few issues. One issue I have is that tennis is barely in this moveset. It was how he got his footing after all. Maybe you could combine Liar Ball with a tennis serve? It wouldn't be the first time a special move combines multiple references. The other is that the Happening Space seems like it could be really broken, but at the same time, I'm not sure what I'd replace it with. I feel like Waluigi should be an annoying character to fight, so that's something a down special should accomplish. Honestly, I think the reason why it's taken Waluigi so long to join the fight is because there are 20 different ways you could make a fitting moveset for him
And people say he doesn't have any moveset potential.
Also, here's another moveset video for him. ruclips.net/video/WMt2d6nDNuA/видео.html
Well he isn't a tennis player after all.
Waluigi is the character I want most in Smash, it's been that way for over 5 years now
I was somewhat expecting his Final Smash to be related to pinball, but I think the one you came up with is hilarious
D-Throw should have been called have a rotten day. But very nice movesets none of the less!
this is amazing! i love this series, the quality of ur work is much better than those quick slapped-together lazy cookie cutter basic movesets that everyone seems to make. ur ideas could def work in smash actually. but my favorite series of urs has to be the custom moves series. i'd love to see more videos in that vein!
Waluigi would be one of those characters that everyone would want but would get bored with so fast easily, like Banjo and Kazooie
what is it?
Instant main if he becomes playable for sure
The UI for your videos is so damn good
I like this idea
Other ideas with him cheating had an almost completely unique move set that has no references
So I think ya did good
Max Hamm's is pretty good too.
@@ffiiggyy no it isn’t tbh. It literally references nothing from Waluigi and his history, has a completely useless B move while making his taunts have a larger function, a completely out of place side b and a down b that’s incohesive in and of itself. It caters to the lowest common denominator which is the memes. This set is good because it factors in his personality (which is why he is memed so much) instead of taking memes into consideration too much and crafts a vastly unique kit based on something that actually references the character
@@darkstuff2744 No references from the games he appeared in? Air Swimming Up-B? That move is literally just begging to be an Up Special. Tennis Racket F-Smash that can reflect? Referencing his character debut. Wall-uigi as a long range grab? Mario Strikers reference which also solidifies the fact that he's a waterbender. The throws he mentioned also has a Mario Golf reference. There's also the DDR:MM Down Smash, a reflector Back Air. Also, he was always known to use the tools to their fullest but at the same time questionable extent in every game he participated in which makes Side B and Down B actually genius. As for the gimmick it actually makes a ton of sense because in the Mario Tennis games he's referred to as a defensive character because of his long stature and can keep up with almost any character and continue the rally. And with said gimmick he is able to keep up with his opponent and think ahead to gain an advantage, this balances out his fairly bad frame data. Sure, there are changes that can be made for his moveset like the moving the Slide Tackle to a Dash attack, Use another bludgeon for his Side B something like an Item Box which has various behaviors like destroying 1/4 of a shield when an item is a green shell, 2/4 of a shield when it's a red shell and a full shield when it's a Bob-omb, items like a beam sword, Fire Flower could also fly out of the item box after it hits an opponent, but all in all it's definitely the closest thing to a moveset made by Sakurai. It doesn't really have any meme references, that's just how Waluigi is.
@@ffiiggyy I mean yeah it does. The botched assist trophy eg is random in and of itself and really incohesive. Delzethin doesn’t just call them character concepts for nothing and Max Hamm didn’t deliberately say several times that his Waluigi moveset was infeasible several times. It loosely applies to a play style and minimal references to his source material, which, for a character who literally only appears in spin offs, which also rarely receive content to begin with, should prompt them to prioritise that. Delzethin takes the personality into account to get a rough idea for the play style and then crafted a kit based on what they do in their games. Hamm just took the idea and ran with it and also made it clear it wasn’t feasible in several instances while Delzethin’s concepts closely mirror how Sakurai does it, down to the tiniest things those titles Sakurai gave characters to get a basic idea of how they’d function internally as to not deviate too much from it. That in and of itself should prove that Delzethin’s is more feasible, let alone more realistic. It’s pretty clear you have a poorly designed moveset if your b is utterly useless whilst you get more use out of your taunts with said effects being wildly incohesive too. At the very least, it would be better if there was just one that was mapped as b with the same minimal effect but it wasn’t
@@darkstuff2744 The Down B isn't really that incohesive when you take into account his fairly slow but long reaching moves Hamm gave him and can allow you to cover opponent's options better on the ledge. Is it feasible? I don't really know, but we got Minecraft Steve that has 3 moves mapped into one button and Bowser Jr. also has a similar Down B to begin with. Also, I disagree with you saying he was just going with it when an archetype is actually present, cunning yet capable. Although Neutral B could work like Deep Breathing, providing a slight buff when you finish a 60-80 frame animation. In all honesty though, seeing all these Waluigi movesets that are vastly different from each other may it be for better or for worse, it kinda goes to show how capable the man really is and how he can delve into almost any archetype kinda like Wolf but with a lot more flair and a bit less substance. It's probably just because you saw something in this moveset that I haven't and vice versa with the Max Hamm one. I don't really have a problem with this moveset and you make good points about the Neutral B's baffling purpose but hey we're talking about the man who put a mustache in an eggplant and built a Kart with his own two hands using stolen airplane parts if I remember correctly.
Heh. Great design.:D There's so many different concepts I've seen for Waluigi. This is debateably tied for first with another I saw. The other I saw focused more on the idea of him being a joke character that focused on a certain aspect of his personality: Waluigi cheats. So, the concept had him basically pull a deadpool to battle for his abilities.
Probably the best Waluigi moveset concept I have seen in a long time.
I think a Waluigi moveset all about the mario spinoff is the best way to go with him
How?
Wouldn't it be more general to include all kind of games from Mario series?
Destruction Dance sounds like a Jojo thing lol
A DDR reference? Hahaha! Nice!
*Everyone liked this*
I really like this concept, particularly item box, but I do wonder if happening space is a bit difficult to implement
Buff Waluigi neutral special
I'm so glad you had the same thought I did. This moveset feels more like a real moveset rather than a collection of references
THE EPIC MAN ARRIVES.
Excited to see your ideas.
I love all the Mario spin-off reps in him and that'd be my main reason for me to be for his inclusion. His ? space event sounds a bit *TOO* crazy but I would love that so hard!! Great concept as always and great video overall!
Brawl-/P+ and SSF2 both have really good movesets for him that I think would have been perfect and I also really like the concept that's here as well.
this is actually very good!
I want waluigi in smash!
That neutral special is great! Inspiring!
most creative waluigi moveset ive ever seen man.
i never even expected the liar ball as a special
Taunts having a chance to fail sounds to good to not be in eventually, whether on Waluigi or another fighter, great idea!
i would do the following for his grab, smashes, specials, back air & final smash
grab - vine whip [from Mario Strikers Charged]
side smash - baseball [he swings a baseball bat, and a small projectile is also launched]
down smash - golf [he swings a golf club, and a small projectile is also launched]
up smash - tennis [he does a tennis serve, and a small projectile is also launched]
neutral special - item box [pulls a item box & throws it on the ground, the same wheel as in MK shows above his head (not the icon), and he gets an item that is in *both* games]
side special - dice block [he throws an Party dice block, and the number gives a random effect (think G&W's Judge on a distance)]
up special - air swimming [he swims in the air, a stamina heart shows up next to him, showing how many times you can tap the button]
down special - ground stomp [from his assist trophy days]
back air - Γ pose [he strikes a Γ pose in the air]
final smash - destruction dance [he does his dance from Mario Mix, and fire balls are being lauched from behind him & a few bob-ombs rain from the sky]
yet another great one. hope to see one for monster hunter or lloyd one day.
I love waluigi!
You made Waluigi a smash version of Dr.Faust...And that is so feating😍
But ypu could had including some reference to Mario Strikers, like it's torn whip.
Pretty cool but the down b seemed insanely technical to add into a game. Sweet idea and always love the effort put into these
Give waluigi a 1 percent chance of getting a smash ball from item box it’s completely unfair and extremely hard to get much like judge 9
I love the idea that Waluigi forges his own invite to Smash.
For the up tilt you missed a good opportunity to show him hitting the dice block in Mario party. That’s how I imagine his uptilt
my idea for his trailer, they show the Smash logo, per usual, show one of the older Shash character trailers, but slowly zooms out, and you see it's playing on a TV, then you see 9 monitors, and as it zooms out, shows a wall of TVs, each screen playing a trailer from a Smash game. and pans to the side to see a huge easy chair facing the TVs, but has a high back, and all you see is a hand resting on the arm of the chair, just tapping the fingers idlely as they watch silently....then pulls out a remote, and presses the button, and as all the TVs change channels, one by one, you hear a familiar laugh, as when the TVs change channel, You see a giant Waluigi logo from his hat appear on the wall of TVs.
Waluigi isn't in my top picks for Smash, but I love the creativity of this moveset idea! Definitely fits his wacky nature too.
Please put waluigi in smash!
Recommended is better than I thought...
THANK YOU. Everywhere I go that talks about Waluigi decides to be annoying about how he is definitely going to make it into Ultimate despite the fact that Assist Trophies are designed the way are because they are not going to be playable that game. You on the other hand actually say that it's about what might happen eventually, not what might happen now.
Uh, I'm sure there are tons of assist characters to compete for next Smash.
The only argument is that NIntendo should have other characters be assist trohpy for this time, but that doesn't mean the fighter roster has infinite chance for all past assist characters to become fighters immediately. I mean Waluigi is at least an assist, you don't see that Dixie and Mona cannot even appear as assist or anything else?
Great move set
Honestly Shadow the Hedgehog has a much better moveset potential over Waluigi. Not to mention that Shadow is much more important than Waluigi in the role of his franchise.
The ULTIMATE LIFEFORM should be the one to break "fan rule" of Assist Trophy being upgraded in the same game.
This is old say: if NIntendo knew Waluigi is a fighter, they should just make him a fighter and then introduce a brand new assist trohpy in the start. We shouldn't expect them to pay effort to alter the game afterward.
The point is there are tons of assist characters and pokeballs. NIntendo don't have the effort to make all of them fighters, if so we would had got thirty more fighters in this game and that's very unrealistic thinking.
The fun thing about Waluigi is that he does something new almost every time he shows up. You can make the guy do literally anything you want (as long as it follows Nintendo's rules of keeping the series family-friendly) and no one would even question it, because hey, it's Waluigi; when has he ever done anything that made sense to begin with? That's why, if by some miracle Waluigi were to ever be playable in Smash, I would want his entire moveset to just be one big mind screw.
But that can be said to any character if we want him/her playable, that wouldn't be a specific reason for Nintendo to notice Waluigi in the first place. The exact same thing may be said to Plant Piranha, for example, so that Plant Pirahna has the good reason to rob Waluigi's chance, would you really agree with that?
Ultimately, the movsets are usually sourced from real games, not entirely originally created in Smash. Which is also why Waluigi needs to learn more exclusive moves by going to more new games, like how Peach learned in Showtime.
Seen a couple of moves here I wish I had added to my waluigi moveset. The down smash being my fav
To be honest is downthrow and sites mesh are probably going to be his moves as an assist trophy pounding you into the ground with his foot bearing you then tennis racket
Release trailer: Waluigi sitting on the couch of him and his brother's house with a sad look on his face when suddenly... the smash invitation envelope flies through the window. Waluigi suddenly notices the envelope and opens it and finds an invitation note to the roster. Waluigi joyfully screams "WA HA!" as he runs out the door to be included in the smash roster.
Yay I love what you guys are talking about
Surprised to see a lack of thorny purple vines in this moveset
So glad this video got posted when it did. I wasn't feeling too great in terms of mood but seeing this video has me feeling better. Thanks Del.
Also a fantastic moveset. One thing I find interesting about that Down Special is that, given it's changing of stages, Waluigi would be like Steve in a way. The dev team having to update and account for all of the stages to work with the characters kit.
Speaking of that down special, do the positive buffs and negative debuffs happen for the character that triggered the space? Or are the buffs only for Waluigi and the debuffs only for his opponents? Seems like the former but I just want to make sure.
Waluigi's whole vibe really IS "legally distinct," isn't it?
I love this move set
This is better than my attempt at Waluigi, which made him a "half-clone" of Wario.
Most notably, his up special was like Luigi's, in that it went straight up and hardly did anything to opponents unless he got the sweetspot. ^^; For down special, I opted to use a Dice Block instead.
Wario's moveset is about his own series, tho. If we want Waluigi to use references from Wario games, he has to also appear in those games.
Waluigi should be the new meme man. Change my mind
22:50 And now Waluigi has been banned from competitive Smash.
Is forward throw a reference to Mario party 3?
Personnaly, I may never have been an avid Waluigi supporter, I still would like to see him be playable someday, I just thought that maybe other mario characters should have got their chance before him, we kind of did, to a point where the idea of him becoming playable seems closer and closer. However, I think it would only happen in a another Smash game (if we ever got one) it seems to me that if a character is an assist trophy in a game, he just can't be promoted in the same game (furthermore, I'm favorable to him but there is also other assist trophies that feel would be even more interessting to promote I would be kind of bitter toward that).
As for movesets, for a while Pizzadudemanguy's (allias Issac) was my favourite because as he said, Waluigi could have a moveset based upon references to the Mario Spin Offs but that makes people argue that he hassn't much to offer since you could do the same for every other Mario character. And as such, his approach of making his moveset based mainly on Tennis was unique and quite fun. As for yours, I was intrigued when I saw the thumbnail to know your take on the Man behind the memes, while I like your content a lot, your one of my 4 favourite moveset makers of youtube along with Brawlfan1, Pizzadudemanguy or Feliciafan,(special mention to the rest Ready Moveset Go team too) but you sometime hit the mark in a such a way that your moveset tends to be truer to smash style and you are more constant about it compared to some of the others where they can go overboard (see Brawlfan1's Paper Mario Moveset for reference). And once again, You hit that special mark. It just feels like a perfect balance of Mario game references and rules bending that feels just right and works better than just have him use spin off props or bend the rule so much that it's 4th wall breaking. Well done once agin !
Technically Waluigi did make a short cameo in WarioWare but it doesn’t really count
Wait, for real? Which game?
The very end is edited to have an image of sad Waluigi fade in, But otherwise I’m pretty sure it’s legit
Day 235 of asking for Akira Howard - Challenger Approaching
Waluigi's soccer uniform from MARIO STRIKERS; as for the taunt, his STRIKERS taunt could be useful...if it doesn't change SSBU's ESRB rating.
We must remember in Mario Party 3 he beat the crap out of bowser
That down b ‘Happening’ would probably ‘not be happening’. Looking at what sakurai had to do to the stages so Steve could work he probably wouldent do it again. Im a big fan of your creative moveset tho and I respect you put the time and effort in it to make it up.
Happening huh? Well at least it's not chance time!

I think it'd be more fun if his item box gave you a single use of another character's item as an emphasis on Waluigi being a trickster. Items could be like K. Rool's crown, R.O.B's Gyro, Bowser Jr's Mechakoopa, hell let him just throw out Wario's bike for a laugh. All these items will disappear once they hit the ground to save on like the stage getting filled with Wario bikes or any confusion on which crown is the real crown for K. Rool
I would think that Waluigi's up special would be springy shoes, like from the April Fool's joke that said that Waluigi was in Super Mario 64 DS.
4:56 what mario game is this ?
Fortune Street developed by Square Enix
The Wii version had a Mario crossover
