I hate Wario

Ok, I have played against a REALLY good Wario. He uses his Dair a lot. I can't shield through the whole thiing because it eventlually hits. Dodgeing doesn't work. If I roll, he grabs, chases or Fsmashes. Once I'm off the stage, it is nearly impossible to get back on. He just stays near the edge and either jumps and fairs if I jump, shields and grabs if I attack, or grabs if I roll.

How the heck do I beat Wario. I was able to beat him today in a tournament, but I counter picked with MK.

I've had some trouble against Wario, too. Hopefully I'll help at least a bit.

Your dair problem should be fixed by holding a grenade often, or even just pulling one out as soon as you see him approaching you and shield.
Try to take advantage of grenades. Remember, you have projectiles. He doesn't, unless you want to count his broken bike parts.
When recovering, mix up your game with well spaced bairs, grenades, or just airdodges.
Never place yourself in a position where he can bite you out of your cypher.
Oh yeah, and I know you didn't mention this, but if you notice that Wario is using his bite often, try to throw a grenade into him. He'll eat it which will give you time to punish.

Lastly, here's some links on the match-up.
You don't have to consider these players pros, but they're the quickest I could get right now.

Also, I know Snake doesn't win in all of these.
I learned from my mistakes, and I hope you learn from them, too.

Ok, I just beat the Wario I have had problems with in a tournament and won.

I found out that playing defensive with grenades works very well, atleast against the guy I played against. He spammed his Dair to set up combos, so I use grenades to protect me. When he cout on, after getting his face blow up a couple of times, he would go to the side with is Dair if I pulled out a grenade. I then just Ftilted him or motar slided him.

I had fun and won. Unfortiently there are no videos.

He's angry saying that I was being campy, but that is how you have to play against him. I played using the same playstlye as if I was going against a Meta Knight.
