Waluigi had a tall and lanky frame to him that makes him an instant target right from the get-go. That and coupled with his extremely light frame makes Waluigi one of the worst characters in surviving a match. Despite this, he does have some options in dealing with damage-oriented fighters like Ike and Ganondorf. He has amazing ground and air speed which allows him to do some remarkable maneuvers and actions that’s unpredictable. He has plenty of abilities and mechanics that allows to use his zany personality to control the battlefield and even the opponent. This includes serving back projectiles, slowing down time, and other items from the spin-off
Mario series.
Gameplay @ Moveset
Krookodilian
Specials:
- Up Special: Swimming Return - Waluigi Swims in the air in a slower version of Pikachu's quick attack. Waluigi swims in 4 bursts, and can change direction for each burst. There is a weak hit box on it.
- Side Special: Kart - Waluigi gets into the Waluigi Racer and charges forward at the opponent. This move can be charged into 4 tiers, no sparks, blue sparks, orange sparks, and purple sparks, from weakest to strongest. This references the holding drifts in Mario Kart. If done in the air a glider will appear.
- Neutral Special: Serve - Waluigi throws a tennis ball into the air and serves it at the opponent with his racket. this can be angled slightly, and cancelled out of. The Tennis Ball will remain and bounce if cancelled, and can be hit with his forward air and forward smash. If the ball is hit at the peak of the serve it will move extra fast with smoke similar to in wii sports. there is a small chance of serving a Mr. Saturn and Bob-omb.
- Down Special - Trick Shot - Waluigi slows down time and does a moonwalk like in Mario Tennis Aces. this moves functions as a counter if hit during the moonwalk. However, the move has large ending lag so Waluigi can be punished if not hit.
Aerials:
- Neutral Air: Waluigi has a standard sex kick that sticks out well in front of his body
- Forward Air: Waluigi quickly swing his racket in front of him. This can reflect projectiles, and will send his tennis ball toward his opponent if there is one one the feild.
- Back Air: Waluigi will stick both legs back and spin, like in project M
- Down Air: Waluigi will do four downward kicks, like his assist trophy, with the last one having a spike hit box.
- Up Air: Waluigi will clap his legs together above him, like Sonic’s Up Air, with a sweet spot at the top
Smash Attacks:
- Down Smash: Break Dance - Waluigi does a break dance spinning his legs which hit on both sides of him, referencing dance dance revolution Mario mix.
- Up Smash: Dice Block - A dice Block appears above Waluigi's head, similar to Steve's Up Smash, and waluigi jumps into it. The dice can roll from 1-6, with 6 being the most powerful.
- Forward Smash: Waluigi Does a Tennis swing, which will reflect projectiles and send his tennis ball forward.
Tilt Attacks/Dash/Jab:
- Down Tilt: Waluigi kicks out his leg, similar to Ganondorf's down tilt, but with dance like style.
- Forward Tilt: Waluigi stands on his toes, sticks one leg out and spins around, similar to Mewtwo's forward tilt, but higher up. This can be angled.
- Up Tilt: Waluigi kicks one leg straight up, similar to Banjo & Kazooie's up tilt
- Jab: Waluigi does a right punch, a left punch and a lunging kick
- Dash: Waluigi does a kick and follows through as if he were kicking a soccer ball
Throws/Grab:
- Grab: Waluigi grabs at the air, with his hand coming from above.
- Dash Grab: Waluigi Reaches both arms straight forward and leans into it.
- Pummel: Waluigi swings his arm behind his head and knocks on the opponent like a door.
- Forward Throw: Waluigi Swings his golf club, sending the opponent forward.
- Up Throw: Waluigi Punts the opponent straight up, with an animation similar to Ganondorf's Smash 4 Up Smash
- Back Throw: Waluigi jumps up and bounces the opponents under his legs like a basketball sending the opponent back and up.
- Down Throw: Waluigi performs his current assist trophy attack, leaving the opponent buried
Final Smash:
- Waluigi sticks his leg out and a vine appears out of his pant leg which stretches out, and any opponent caught in the vine will be sent to a cutscene final smash. The opponent will be transported to a dark room, which will zoom out to reveal the opponent in an assist trophy on top of a pile of Bob-ombs. Waluigi will be shown laughing repeatedly before the Bob-ombs explode.
I tried to represent mario party, mario sports, and mario kart all within this moveset. I don't think a gimmick is needed as his strange proportions and attitude make him unique enough. Admittedly his final smash is not a reference to any specific game, but i wanted to put his vines and him being an assist trophy somewhere.

Waluigi claps his hands with a rose in his mouth, does a tango pose or two (not sure what would better fit the length of an average victory screen), and spins before ending with a final pose where he holds his rose towards the camera. A reference to his Eagle/Hole In One animation from Mario Golf: World Tour.

Waluigi jumps from left to right in a goofy, Waluigi-esque way, holding his trophy high, referencing his tournament winnning animation from his first game appearance, Mario Tennis N64.
