You know, I've yet to see a fan based moveset for him that doesn't have him as a clone or Luigified clone of another Mario character. Face it, Waluigi has nothing going for him at all.
In other words, you haven't read any of the movesets in this thread.
He would make a good AT though, because he is pretty well known.
I have a feeling that team chart is going to turn out a little something like this:
Team A: 9
Team B: 7,041
Team C: 850
Team D (The rest of Smashboards' members that haven't even heard of the idea but would probably choose Team B): 52,633
Exaggerating? I'm thinking of making a list of Pro-Waluigi members here... and I'm pretty positive it'll have way more than nine members.
Yet AGAIN the ONLY reason guys can bring up:
WAIRO SI IN SO SHUDE WALUGII CAUS IT FTS N MKAES SENES!1!!!1one
Doesn't speaking in 1337 make you sound smarter?
Most people saying that are saying that if Wario's in, Waluigi has a possibility of making it in, not if Wario's in Waluigi has a 10000000000000% chance of making it in. Oh, but wait...
NO. The fact that Wario is in doesn't give Waluigi any hope whatsoever, in fact, it REDUCES it. Just so you understand:
Waluigi is part of the Mario franchise.
Wario is part of the Mario franchise AND the Wario Ware franchise.
Waluigi is NOT part of the Wario Ware franchise.
Wario is representing his own franchise, Wario Ware.
What can they do? There is no way in hell they are gonna give him a Wario Ware costume, and him being in the Mario franchise while Wario is not makes no sense. Thus, Waluigi = Assist Trophy at most.
THERE. I'm tired of the "Wario is in, so should Waluigi!" argument.
Yes! Even though they are partners, they're from completely different franchises and therefore can't...be...partners if Waluigi somehow does make it in because obviously, Sakurai will COMPLETELY ignore the other games Wario has previously appeared in like they never existed!
And if they ARE partners, it'll cause a tear in the fabric of space-time continuum, and the entire universe will be sucked into a wormhole, floating around in nothingness for all eternity! "WHY?" screams Sakurai. "Why did I give Waluigi a Mario emblem even though he's a Wario related character and hasn't appeared in Wario games?"
Like you said, Wario is also part of the Mario franchise and has his own franchise. He's like DK and Yoshi. He's a Mario related character, but has his own franchise. But I'm sure that Brawl will mention the other games that Wario appeared in.
If Waluigi is in as a PC or AT, he'll be a Mario character. That's it.
That's because there is nothing to him.
Huh?
That would be a terrible idea even ignoring the fact that it would never happen. The game would be a complete bomb and no one would buy it. It would be worse than the Phillips Zelda games.
Ah, but what about a Wario Bros. game?
No, you speak for the minority. We don't want to know anything about him. We don't want to see him. He's an extra character for party and sports games. That's it.
And by "we," you mean you.
How? Waluigi is an over-use of the formula (as stated in pages and pages in this thread). It would be an insult to Wario to include Waluigi.
Explain, please.
thats a dumb idea. i hate waliugi. i couldnt even think of his attacks.
You couldn't think of his attacks... because you don't want to.
It is an insult to Wario to include Waluigi.
i don't want to see him as an AT either..but it might happen.. oh well...
Darn it people, explain how it would be an insult!
...
Please?
if wario is in, why not Waluigi?? but... he appeared as a Trophy in Melee, so... maybe we can see him as an At char!
You're not helping.
OK. And I've been thinking, and I don't even see him as an assist now, because even some assist trophies have franchises. And no, they can't give the smash symbol to Waluigi.
That makes no sense at all. So you must have your own franchise to be an AT?
But wait, you said that SOME of them have franchises...
Stop confusing me!
I didn't mean it like that, is just that it downed on me that some assist trophies have franchises, and Waluigi would fit oddly into the marioverse, without Wario there, even as an AT. And there are many other characters from the Mario series that could take AT spots over Waluigi... MANY. But I won't care if he is in as an AT, is just that I used to say "Waluigi for AT" and now I've changed my mind.
Waluigi is a Mario character. He doesn't always need to have Wario around. He doesn't feed off of Wario's life energy to survive.
Assist trophies are guest characters who didn't make the cut. It's possible that Waluigi crossed Sakurai's mind once. He's a well known character and like someone said earlier, is a fan favorite. I see no reason why he can't make it as an Assist Trophy. At least consider the possibility.
There aren't any complicated rules or standards characters need. If they want to put him in the game, they could do it despite all of that franchise and costume stuff you guys have been talking about.
He can stay clear of the character roster as to not take up room for a more deserving character, and can satisfy the pro-Waluigi people just enough so they don't cry.
What?
