I just discovered that it was Sora, someone from a series I'm not a fan of when I wrote this so I was pretty disappointed especially knowing that it was the fighter of the game but it's cool now. I'm expecting him for the next game
I cannot say Waluigi will be garunteed in future Smash fighters, but he is a recurring Mario series main character at this day so he sure deserves something.
It's old topic. The point is more like it's not quite worthy doing so. The better scenario is that NIntendo choose Waluigi as the new Mario rep, and also assignate King Boo or Mallow to be the new assist trohpy. There is no need to waste the assist trohpy slot for Waluigi specficially.
I don't think this makes sense. Waluigi has already been popular by the time of Smash Brawl. You say that as if Waluigi wasn't popular in the Smash 4 days or NIntendo didn't notice his popularity. And as others said, Waluigi is a recurring character in his series, NIntendo definitely know his popularity.
Yeah, Waluigi & Isaac make the most sense as 1st party characters for the next Smash, unless Nintendo creates a new ip like ARMS by then and they get shafted again.
That's not quite a good point. I understand the salt from Golden Sun fans, but you cannnot compare ARMS directly to Mario series. In a crossover game, new franchsies of course have higher priority. Waluigi's direct rival in this game is Plant Piranha anyway.
Yep, Sora is the official winner of the Smash ballot, I'm not even arguing with that, it makes sense and he's very deserving of that spot in the roster.
I feel as if its very ridiculous to assume Sakurai has this grudge against or hatred for Waluigi. It’s very clear that the picks for this game were heavily influenced by ballot results and requests from Nintendo themselves.
According to Sakurai's words, most fighter choices and concepts were concluded from Sakurai's negotiation with the original creators or producers, so despite Plant Piranha seemed exteremly ridiculous, it can be de deduced that Miyamoto did agree with the choice, in some aspect that isn't a good news to supportors of other Mario characters.
True, but only if they start with Ultimate as base and go on from there.
I didn’t say that he has a grudge or hatred against Waluigi. I just think that Sakurai does not want him in his game. He very well might like him, but for whatever reason he does not think he belongs in smash. Tbh, I think he should’ve been added with Wario in brawl, they’re always partners in all of the spin-off games. That didn’t happen, and instead he has added many other Mario characters since then, including piranha plant and Daisy. Not dissing Daisy I just think her and Waluigi are about equals as far as relevance to canon Mario games go, with Waluigi being hugely more popular. I just don’t think it’s mere coincidence that Waluigi has been passed up repeatedly and left as an assist trophy for 3 games in a row/over a decade.
Smash Brawl didn't have Mario newcomer, and Waluigi isn't nominally related to Wario by the Smash series classifiation. The real argument is NIntendo not letting Waluigi participate in Wario's games for him to fight for the second Wario series rep.
I don't agree with this mainly cause NIntendo could had used the assist trohpy slots on some other Mario series characters, like Kamek and King Boo. Especially if Geno can't be a fighter, NIntendo should really make him an assist at least.
What do you mean you don’t agree? I stated a fact. Waluigi has been an assist trophy for 3 games in a row. After brawl each subsequent game had multiple Mario new comers, hence he was passed up on multiple times and left as a trophy.
I say Waluigi shouldn't be kept as an assist trohpy, NIntendo should introduce some new assist trohpies instead,
Oh i see. I thought you meant that you disagreed with what I wrote. My bad
The point isn't Sakurai. It's the difficult 3rd party contracts that ensures Smash 6 won't have every past fighter. And upgrading all past fighters still require development.
And look at the date, they know.Waluigi couldn't get into Smash Bros Ultimate so he became a vampire because why the hell not
The wish of many Waluigi fangirls has been granted, Vampire Waluigi is now official and is coming to Mario Kart Tour ! Yeeeah !Another opportunity to milk Waluigi fans

Another alternative costume for Waluigi when he will inevitably be announced for Smash 6
(Imagine if you can purchase this costume for Horror Land in Mario Party Superstars...)
I think that the newcomers in the next base game roster will mostly be 1st party characters with requested characters including assist upgrades, an inevitable Fire Emblem & Pokemon rep and Xenoblade 3 character (if that happens). Also at least one 3rd party character such as Dante (it could also be Geno but since Square always want their things to be DLC, he's probably more likely to be one unless if Nintendo owns SMRPG by then).
Maybe they started to work on a Waluigi game or a Wario Land game with Waluigi since the massive backlash from 3 years ago which might be why we still haven't gotten anything yet. Making AAA games takes time after all.
And guess what, his popularity in Brawl and Smash 4 was nowhere near today. If anything, people were surprised/happy that he was an assist in Brawl because he was acknowledged enough to appear in the game in some form which was already huge for a character like him at the time. Then Smash 4 happened and some people were already disappointed because he gained popularity between Brawl and Smash 4 but it's still wasn't the huge fanbase that we have now. Then E3 2018 happened and you know the rest of the story. For the first time, Waluigi caused huge controversy and the mainstream attention he gained from that (something that never happened before) was the exact moment that Nintendo noticed how popular he is.
If what you say is true, that means characters who have been popular since earlier time should have a higher priority than Waluigi. I tend to believe that Waluigi's demand has been there since decade ago.
You shouldn’t expect any character. That’s a bad mindset that 9 times out of 10 sets you up for disappointment. There’s a difference between wanting and expecting a character.
Well I think it's fair to say that a lot of us were young at the time, and unfortunately we took Waluigi appearing in games for granted.
I should have clarified, but by "expected" it was in the sense that he seemed like he was the next logical choice for the next Mario character, especially going into ultimate, because really for most people, all that was left was him and Daisy (Toad as well in some cases, but most people would only say the first two)
This little ****post of mine has gone and become one of my most viewed and liked video overnight and has been up overnight, I'm not sure it's because of all but regardless I wanna thank all y'all for the support and everything, I really do appreciate at it and I'm glad my meme ment to just vent became so beloved and we'll recieved by the Waluigi fandom and smash fandom too thank you all :,)
I really hope the next game is an enhanced port with a story and Waluigi is one of the newcomers, that's the most I can ask for.
