Honestly, the thing that has tainted Waluigi for me isn't the fanbase, but the consistent amount of youtubers who genuinely think Waluigi will definetely get in.
Like, i hear people say "Waluigi will definitely get in due to the backlash."
No. Sorry to say, but he's an assist trophy. Lyn is also an assist trophy, but just because a lot of people are wanting it, doesnt mean Sakurai is suddenly gonna waste time and money making an already deveolped and ported assist trophy into a character.
Characters like isaac at least have the benefit of not being shown, and his assist trophy being cut in 4, so he at least has potential to be in.
No. Waluigi got made an assist trophy. And Sakurai isn't gonna put resources into making Waluigi a character when they probably already got other characters, modes, and tons of bug-testing to do before the game is released in 3 months.
This isn't an attack on the fans, but a critique on the youtubers spreading this misinformation and potentially clickbaiting them. It's not cool.
