We all know who Waluigi is and most people really don't like him. Essentially, Waluigi was created to be a filler character. Way back when Mario Tennis 64 was still in development, there was one small question that puzzled everybody: Who would Wario's doubles partner be?Then came a great idea, they would create a new filler character to be Wario's partner.
Then thoughts go back to the Mario brothers. Mario has a rival and Luigi doesn't and we need things to be symmetrical. Wario is essentially a shorter and fatter version of Mario. Mario is the short and fat Mario brother. By contrast, Luigi is the taller and skinnier one. So there's an idea: A new taller and skinnier character would be created. The new character could fill the role of Luigi's rival. Perfect, right?
Since Waluigi has been in a bunch of Mario canon games and is well known for being a filler character. He has never starred or even really been mentioned in a real game, a game with a plot and conflict and everything.
That is the greatest arguement against him whenever someonee suggests that he should be included in SSBB. "He is just a stupid rip off of character that serves no real purpose" or "He isn't worthy since he has never been in any real games" and "He shouldn't be in because we don't know anything about him."
While all that is true, I for one believe that Waluigi should be added to the Super Smash Brothers cast. The fact that we know virtually nothing about him is great for Sakurai and the rest of the developers. They have so much freedom in creating a great moveset so him, just like the did with Fox and Captain Falcon (I'm sure you can agree that both characters have great movesets"
Anyway thats my two cents, what are your thoughts?
