a guy few pages back wrote this AMAZING replay about why Waluigi shouldn't be in brawl:
-----------------------
Waluigi, a history of insignificance
First off the groundwork, to truly understand how horrifically bad Waluigi is. Mario was invented solo, and then they ripped him off with their 2 player creation of Luigi as they simple got rid of the beer belly, made him taller, gave him green overalls and whacked an L on his cap instead. Voila, new playable character for 2 player. Then they needed some kind of rival for Mario, and instead they made an even fatter, uglier version of Mario, called him Wario, put him in some ugly clothes and put a W on his cap. Voila, villain/rival for Mario. At the time, videogames were hardly sophisticated ordeals, story was more than lacking in most cases and innovation wasn't exactly mandatory for a good videogame.
Enter the year 2000, by some kind of magical time machine or something, and we're on the N64 where such games as Banjo-Kazooie, OOT, Mario Kart 64 etc. are practically reinventing genres and setting the bar of excellence left, right and centre. Camelot fired up a lovely Mario sport game for us in the form of Mario Tennis 64. But oh wait, they needed to pad out the roster a bit. As a result of this, Wario's probably incredibly illegitiamte little brother Waluigi was born, created by Camelot for their sport game. Yes, that's right, Waluigi wasn't even invented by Nintendo.
Waluigi is a rip-off in every fibre of his existance. His clothes, stolen from Luigi and then dyed purple, probably using some of Wario's purple dye since it's the same colour I believe as the purple part of Wario's old outfit, cleverly inverting the L in the same fashion as the W is an inverse of M, made him lanky and tall like luigi, made thinner versions of Wario's facial features and made him Wario's younger brother. They even took the "Wa" prefix from Wario and added it onto Luigi which when you think about it makes no sense at all. Considering that at this point games were no longer acceptable as storyless linear adventures, it's no surprise Waluigi hasn't evolved from what he is because what he is is nothing. He's a ripoff of 2 Mario ripoffs, making him a ripoff ripoff, ripoff ripoff. Sweet.
Since then, he has made absolutely no contribution to the Mario universe, other than really being a filler character in all of the party/sports games and playing tacked on minor antagonist roles in some. His big breakthrough was in DDR Mario Mix where he played the main villain, and so his importance is obvious to all 7 people that bought the game . So why do people like him? Well, it's probably the fact that he's similar to Wario in character design *cough*rippedoffcompletely*cough* and so anyone that has a liking to Wario will probably be attracted to Waluigi too. However, evidently Wario has evolved so much more since he now has his own franchise, a new look and a repertoire of toilet humour gags. But will Waluigi ever evolve in the same way? Maybe, but I consider it more in terms of siblings where the older brother was a planned baby and then the younger was more of an...accident. You know, there's bound to be favouritism somewhere along the line.
Waluigi, if included in Brawl, could probably not be much more than a stupid lanky clone of luigi, who's already a clone, so he'd end up being a ripoff ripoff, ripoff ripoff clone of a clone. That's a whole lot of lacking innovation right there. "But no!" I hear Jimmy the Waluigi fan cry, "He has the potential for a completely new moveset!". Yes Jimmy, you're certainly right, he DOES, but the question isn't "What would his new moveset be?" it's "Why should Sakurai waste his time inventing a whole moveset for some unpopular filler character, when there's so many decent Brawl characters with an interesting history, franchise significance, a moveset which writes itself and is actually popular. Hell a character that was actually original in some way would bump Waluigi out.
So what exactly has Waluigi ever done to deserve a spot over possibly hundreds of decent Brawl candidates? Because he shared a partnership with Wario in no more than 2 Tennis games or because he's Wario's brother he desreves in? Would you let an athlete's fat brother in the Olympics on the same merits (although ironically in this analogy the athlete would be Wario and Waluigi being the unfit one)? In truth Waluigi's personality is thinner than Game + Watch, there's generic enemies with more style and neither have a look that would make the first creatures that went onto land want to crawl back into the Primordial Soup.
Sorry if I made a really boring, long post stating the obvious, and while I tried to include a few laughs along the way to make a recap of Waluigi a bit more bearable it's tough when the topic of including him in Brawl makes you want to cry.
To sum up really quite nicely:
Step 1: Keep Waluigi out of Brawl.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit.
Edit: Rofl, I love Ruigi. That would've been so much more...original too .
Oh and by the way, anyone that comes up with a good step 2 gets a cookie. However you have to beat the standard which I'm going to set of "Step 2: Spend the rest of Brawl's production time burning $100 notes." Make me proud

Ashley and Red would be more original than him.
