Wario is good, but not great.
IMO, to be a top wario atm, it's not about fart camping or air planking at all. It's about how you utilize his tires. A while back i thought wario's metagame was completely done, then people started figuring out his stupid lil Chain Grabs and that progressed it a little. Now some wario's have shown the next progression which is tire play (me, glutonny, krystedez). <--those are probably the best examples of warios that are really showing what this character is capable of.
Aight, Main things you need vs wario.
-People need to still learn how to play against this character. Smash DI and PIVOT GRABS are ESSENTIAL for playing against wario. If you know when to SDI, instead of taking 30-40%, you're going to be taking like 5% and hitting the wario. He has to commit to alot of his "combos".
-You NEED to pivot grab wario, no matter your character...even another wario can shut down wario with pivot grab. A prime example of this is Glutonny Vs Ally at that paris tourney recently. I talked to Ally about it a bit and wathcing the vids, i knew exactly what he was doing wrong. In WFs, Ally was basically spamming pivot grab, Dthrowing and tech chasing putting up easy percent (warios roll is terrible). Then when GFs came around, Ally started rolling where he should have been pivot grabbing. IMO, that was the biggest factor in ally losing that tourney (and the 140+ ppl cheering against him)
Aight, umm...matchups?
I'll just go over top tier:
Metaknight vs Wario - 60:40 or worse if the mk actually knows what to do. This is one of warios worst matchups by far, he has no CP stage and gets out ranged hard core, the only way a warios going to win this matchup is straight up out smarting the mk and knowing how to use tires.
Snake vs Wario - 45:55. IMO wario's easiest top tier matchup by far, but i've always just been really good vs snake and from the looks of it, every wario besides me and glutonny suck at this matchup. If the snake isnt extremely careful, he's going to get gimped. Bite ***** snake and puts him in a really bad position and wario has the mobility to destroy snake in the air.
Diddy vs Wario - 50:50 imo. this matchup is silly, both rack dmg up on eachother really quick. diddy has an issue killing wario because he doesnt kill off the top. I think this matchup is even for the simple fact that both character absolutely **** with bananas. Wario has so many nana combos and free kill setups with them.
Falco vs Wario - Theres two ratios for this matchup. If the wario doesn't know the 52-120% chain grab, this matchup is basically 65:35 or somewhere around there on neutrals. WITH that chain grab, It's completely even. 50:50 or stage dependent to give wario the advantage. This, imo, is one of the most even matchups in the game. If falco cgs warios to 60, w/e no biggie, the wario isnt going to be dying anytime soon and once falco gets to 52%, one grab = he's going to up to 120+ = kill percent with fresh clap. The biggest issue wario has in this matchup is getting in on falco, laser laser side b is really hard to read/punish with wario. Ftilt is his only move that truly goes through side b. Whoever gets the first stock will most likely be leading the whole game in this matchup. wario can edgeguard falco really well. Instant wipeout with bike on the edge scares falcos into side b'ing onto the stage instead of going for the edge which ='s a free punish. Clap or fart probably wario's best killing moves in this matchup since he has to commit to fsmash and ftilt and can get shielded -> punish.
ugh....i g2g for now. ill finish later.
