Ha ha, that’s been my most asked question on the video! Do you think it’d be possible to do that and retain an E rating?I really liked this moveset! It fit very well and the tennis gimmick is great. One question though, did you consider the crotch chop as a possible taunt or victory pose?
Both Mario Strikers Charged and Smash Ultimate are E 10+, so I think it could work.Ha ha, that’s been my most asked question on the video! Do you think it’d be possible to do that and retain an E rating?
EDIT: I guess strikers did, but I’d still be concerned about people spamming it lol
The way I see it, Daisy is a spin-off character and so is Waluigi. In my eyes, it doesn't matter if Daisy had one main-series appearance. 1. Super Mario Land is arguably one of the most forgettable Mario games of all time and 2. Daisy has built herself a spin-off reputation for the last 19 years. I don't think Sakurai put Daisy in over Waluigi just because she was in one "main" game, that notion sounds a bit ridiculous to me. While I respect how you feel, I can't help but disagree with the way you prioritize Mario characters. Like others have mentioned, I believe Daisy got in because she would function perfectly as Peach's echo. Sakurai probably wasn't aware about how many people truly wanted Waluigi in if Reggie had to say "Mr. Sakurai will be aware of the groundswell of support for Waluigi". And like Reggie said, it's Sakurai's choice whether or not Waluigi gets in, and so far he chose not to upgrade Waluigi's status. If Waluigi isn't upgraded in Ultimate, I believe he has a much higher chance in the next Smash game as opposed to Ultimate.I apologize if I came off as too aggressive.
I don't really see Waluigi being playable as a bad thing. I just think there's a big barrier to his inclusion: spinoff characters being excluded, and I can definitely see why.
It's because Smash has so much things to focus on that focusing purely on main series content is for the best. Could you imagine Linkle or Lana over, say, Skull Kid or Impa? Rowan or Shareena over Hector or Alm? Main series characters are just inherently more important to their series over spinoff characters.
I said over in the Geno thread that I put Waluigi above Geno in terms of being a staple spinoff character, but I also said, if you recall, that I think Waluigi should also be barred for being a spinoff character. I put Geno below Waluigi because Geno is also a one-shot and not a franchise-wide main character at the same time.
He’s absolutely a Nintendo All-Star. Despite only appearing in spin-offs, Waluigi is probably more recognizable to the average Joe than 90% of the Smash roster.Thank you Venus of the Desert Bloom for opening up this thread again. It's great to see more activity here among us fellow WAArriors.
Being a part of the Dixie thread, we've discussed how she is among the few Nintendo All-Stars that haven't got the nod yet. Do you think Waluigi should be considered to be a Nintendo All-Star? In my mind, absolutely he should be considered a Nintendo All-Star. Sure he hasn't been in a mainline title of the Mario or Wario Land/World series (he needs to be in those games ASAP), but he has been in well over 50 games since the dawn of the millennium and that is more that a lot of games than a good portion of the characters in the roster. His popularity has risen a lot in the last 5-10 years. Pretty much Waluigi and Toad are the only Mario characters left to be in Smash though ideally I like to see Waluigi under Wario.
Arlo here talks about the fanmade Smash rules and he discusses the possibility of an in-game promotion. Arlo is predicting Waluigi to be among the DLC of Wave 1. Nice to see a Youtuber like him to be on our side and question the perceived rule.
Probably not. Unless the whole ‘actually actors on a troupe’ is a thing.By the way, is there really an official Mario canon?
For the general franchise, if not counting other DK/Wario characters or Toadette as echo, we don't have Birdo as well.Pretty much Waluigi and Toad are the only Mario characters left to be in Smash though ideally I like to see Waluigi under Wario.

Because the issue has been about whether Waluigi's trait was supposed to be exclusive to spinoffs, or he could had been in a main title like others said. Throughout this franchise we've seen some side characters with obvious "spinoff traits" (like Gene from Mario Golf, MCBallyhoo from Mario Party), so just in my view I don't feel like Waluigi belong to that group. It kind feels like denying Waluigi's potential just to make him into Smash is a contradictory move.Nonetheless to the spin-off question I ask: Why not? Super Smash Bros itself is the ultimate spin-off series so why not add the character who originates from spin-offs? We have spirits that originate from the Mario Tennis series or at least Mario Tennis Aces so one would think Waluigi would have his home series as that right? Well... he actually has the same series title as the rest of the mainline Mario characters, being Super Mario. So I think that enough says a lot.
Just in Smash It doesn't matter to much as Daisy enteres Smash halfy due to echo trait. But since SuperMarioRun is canon, Daisy is technically a mainstream ally in NIntendo's definition.To me, it's unbelievable people argue that Daisy is this paragon of legitimacy for her ONE "appearance" in Super Mario Land. It's an almost neurotic technicality that totally and utterly ignores common sense. After that game, she appears in the exact same types of games as Waluigi for over a decade with no main title appearance. Yet somehow she's just incomparably greater in Mario for that one time she appeared for less than 3 minutes a decade ago. Such importance, much wow.
Daisy and Waluigi ARE IN THE SAME BOAT. SUPER MARIO LAND DOES ESSENTIALLY ZERO FOR DAISY'S CURRENT "STATUS" OR LACK THEREOF IN THE MAIN MARIO TITLES. GRASP THIS, AND STOP THIS ARGUMENT. Daisy is a spinoff character just like Waluigi, period..
Not the first time I read this. But what's the actual source?since SuperMarioRun is canon
Also, what the hell is canon and what isn't. I want someone to give me a source of where Nintendo ever divided Mario's franchise into canon and non-canon. Because if people are going to base their arguments on whether or not something is canon, they need to back it up, otherwise it's flimsy evidence.Not the first time I read this. But what's the actual source?
I remember it's mentioned in the Japanese website refering to the Super Mario history that includes the game as apart.Not the first time I read this. But what's the actual source?
Well, I feel unlikely Nintendo would officially acknowledge this theory, like said the fighters are only classified by general series icon, no spin-off specifically mentioned. If Waluigi is chosen as a Smash fighter at this point, I would just consider his reason same as other Pokemons: high market request aka popularity, not that Nintendo think they must pick a spin-off representive.Here how I view the current representing Mario cast in Smash:
If Waluigi got in, he would be representing the Mario spin offs as a whole. His entire moveset could be stuff characters use in the spin offs such as a tennis racquet, golf club, baseball bat, and a kart.
I've had this theory about why Waluigi isn't in Smash and that's Sakurai misinterpreting the support for Waluigi as silly memes like Reckless Safety Notice Man, Home Depot, Shrek, e.t.c. - hence all those jokes he made during the lead up to Smash 3DS' release. it's a very easy mistake to make honestly - especially considering Waluigi isn't as popular in Japan as he is in English speaking territories.y eyes, it doesn't matter if Daisy had one main-series appearance. 1. Super Mario Land is arguably one of the most forgettable Mario games of all time and 2. Daisy has built herself a spin-off reputation for the last 19 years.

Sakurai probably wasn't aware about how many people truly wanted Waluigi in if Reggie had to say "Mr. Sakurai will be aware of the groundswell of support for Waluigi". And like Reggie said, it's Saku
Same. He always came off as a very endearing character. He's Wario's partner, someone who wants to prove his a better than Luigi, and a poor sport who we can't help but to fall in love with.You know, even before Waluigi became a meme, he was always one of my favorite Mario characters. I just thought it was cool seeing an anti-Mario and anti-Luigi in games. If he ever got announced for Smash, I would probably scream, that'd be so hype for me considering he's one of my childhood favorites. All memes aside, I really want Waluigi in Smash.
I feel like Waluigi and Daisy are the co-underdogs of the spinoffs. Daisy at least has main series presence, but she developed most of her character in the spinoffs.Same.

He is the heart of Mario spinoff games and part of what makes them good. Let's be honest, would anyone buy Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix if he was never the starring villainbefore being Dorf'd by Bowser?
I don't count Daisy in Super Mario Land, to me it's more of a cameo only because she literally is on screen for 2 seconds and says "Thank you Mario"I feel like Waluigi and Daisy are the co-underdogs of the spinoffs. Daisy at least has main series presence, but she developed most of her character in the spinoffs.
Wario is almost there, but only because I feel like Mario spinoff Wario, Wario Land Wario, and WarioWare Wario feel like three different characters to me.
Oh, of course. I wouldn't either. I'm just saying that, if this thing is true, Waluigi's chances would suddenly look a lot nicer to look at.Bear in mind we had dummy slots for 30 characters for the CSS before Plant.
I wouldn't put too much stock in this just yet.
Those are two different things though. One is for characters and the newer one is for WoL specifically. So Plant, having two distinct models, takes up 2 'character spots' (leaving 28), but as a single selectable character only takes up one 'World of Light spot' (leaving 14).Bear in mind we had dummy slots for 30 characters for the CSS before Plant.
I wouldn't put too much stock in this just yet.
I like the way you thinkWaluigi is a magnificent man, him not getting in Smash or any mainline Mario game is an injustice that needs to be fixed.
