That's about what I expected, Waa, very fun. An incredibly eclectic set that emphasizes Waluigi's nature, almost going as far as to highlight his being left out. The amount of insane props and projectiles make me think about Waluigi hoarding all this junk solely for the opportunity of being in Smash Bros.This is the complete version. I hope the images will load this time
WAΓUIGI
WHAT ??? HOW ? HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. WAIT ? AAASRGH...
WAA HAHAHHAHAHAH. IT´S A MEEEE.
WAA WAA HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
After this nightmarish introduction, let´s get to his moveset.
Stats and Attributes
Waluigi was never a character who was easy to define or understand. He was always the physical embodiment of absurdist humour. His playstyle was meant to define such, as well as other characteristics of the character and his growth. Waluigi can be described as a Jack Of Trades/Glass Cannon type. Waluigi hits hard, moves quite fast, and has plenty in terms of combos and set-ups, However, Waluigi is easy to combo and kill. He has plenty of tools to pressure the opponent, but he himself lacks answers when it comes to being pressured. If you fall into Waluigi´s game, you are screwed. If you pressure him, he is not very hard to kill, especially since his recovery, despite being quite malleable, is short and requires spacing and luck. That´s why his specials are so important to his playstyle. His traction is high ( except during Tricky Cheater ), his jump is the highest in the game, his air speed is bad, he runs at Ike´s running speed and he weighs just a bit more than Luigi, altough less than Mario.
Pros and Cons
- His normals have good pressure ability, and have good range.
- His movement is surprisingly tricky, especially with Bye Bye mix-ups and WhirΓuigi approaches
- Great stage control with his Trick or Trick, especially when using Angry Cheater
- Really good range. Some of his moves have hidden hitboxes
- Decent priority
- Long periods of hitstun make him easy to combo
- Surprisingly easy to deal with once you deal with his offense and tricks
- Recovery is short and doesn´t offer much invincibilty
- Aerial game, when not using Angry/Trickster Cheater, is bad, especially because of his low air speed
- Doesn´t have reliable ways to deal with pressure
- Takes a while to get used to. Very tricky character to learn, but, when used properly, a pain to fight agaisn´t
- He is Waluigi
Meter
Waluigi is probably the only character who has a meter, akin to traditional fighting games. Waluigi has two meters. These meters define two of Waluigi´s main emotions: Hate and Narcissism. The Vanity meter, based on Waluigi´s confrontational attitude, hostility and jerkish tendencies, builds itself based on how much damage Waluigi gives. The more damage Waluigi delivers, the more meter he gains, but he loses some meter when he takes damage. In opposite, the Anger meter is based upon how much damage does Waluigi take. The more damage he takes, the more meter he has. When he deals damage, he loses some meter. This game of Flip-Flop with his moves is an central part of his mix-ups and gameplay. You can spend short terms of that meter with your specials, akin to EX moves in Street Fighter. However, when the meter is full, you can perform your Down-B. When the Vanity meter is full, your Down-B becomes Tricky Cheater. When your Angry meter is full, your Down-B becomes Mad Cheater. Further differences are explained below.
Moves
Jab: Jabs twice with boxing gloves. 4%-4% damage
F-tilt: Performs a short, sideways kick. 7% damage
D-tilt: Waluigi extends his feet, like Ganondorf´s down tilt, performing a shin breaker. 10%
U-tilt: Waluigi extends his fist upwards. 8%
Dash Attack: Waluigi performs Wario´s trademark Dash Attack. However, instead of running along the ground shoulder-first, he jumps forward with his knees bent back and his elbow extended. If he whiffs, Waluigi will comically tumble on the ground. If he hits, he will temporarily stun the opponent ( since they just got an elbow to the stomach/chest ). However, if Waluigi hits a shield, he will fly off the shield, flailing his arms as he rockets away from the foe, protecting him from counters but putting him in an awkward position. 9% damage on the elbow, 20% damage if a second or third player is caught by the flying Waluigi after he struck a shield.
F-Smash: Waluigi performs a swing with his baseball bat. Uncharged, the knockback is mediocre, but, when fully charged, the knockback is ridiculously low. However, if you strike with the tip, it becomes a lot stronger, especially after you charge it fully. 14 % uncharged, 20 % fully charged. On the tip the damage is the same
U-Smash: Waluigi´s head spins while his body stands still, like an owl. Terrific, but the knockback is ideal for set-ups. 15 % damage uncharged, 21 % charged
D-Smash: Waluigi stands on his head and performs a breakdance kick along the ground. 16 % uncharged, 23% charged
Nair: A simple, yet strong sex kick. One of Waluigi´s most reliable moves when it comes to air game, especially since most of his aerials suck. 13 %
Fair: Waluigi spikes downwards with his tennis racket (well i had to include the racket somewhere ). This move is, to be honest, strange. The lag isn´t bad, but the start-up is pretty long. This move isn´t a meteor until high percentages, but, at lower ones, the knockback is so bad you can even get punished on hit. Quite a strange move. 8 %
Bair: A slow and laggy drop-kick. This doesn´t fit very well in Waluigi´s fast and frantic playstyle, but you may find a use for it. 15%
Uair: Waluigi performs a ballerina spin, with his hands cupped above his head. This gives him a slight push upwards, which helps his recovery. However, only the first one pushes Waluigi up. You can continue spinning by holding A. 10 hits, dealing a total of 20% damage. However, it´s extremely unlikely you will land the full hits.
Dair: Waluigi stalls for a bit, swims upside down, and then stops. BTW, this move is purposefully bad. 9% per hit
Pummel: Waluigi bites the opponent´s neck. Why ?? Well, Waluigi always
does what he feels like doing, like any great artist. 3%
F-Throw: Waluigi turns the opponent into a ball with some weird smoke power, and tosses them foward like an baseball. 12 %
B-Throw: Waluigi turns the opponent into a ball again ( that cheater ), but this time he uses the slingshot from Berry Baskets in Mario Party 5 and slings the foe away. 18 %
U-Throw: Waluigi throws the opponent upwards and stabs them with his mustache. Taken from the PSA hack. 15 %
D-Throw: Waluigi slams the foe in the ground and repeteadly stomps their stomach before kicking them away. 17 %
SPECIALS
Neutral B: Trick Or Trick: Waluigi fires a projectile. If you press B, he will toss a Bob-Omb. The Bob-Ombs work like Snake´s grenades, which means they can be angled, held or thrown with different strengths. The Bob-Ombs are a weaker than the item, but for an character projectile that´s big damage. However, they have a much shorter lifespan, which means that they can blow up on Waluigi´s face if you are not careful. They deal 21 % damage. If you however, hold...
Side: Waluigi spins a hammer and tosses it forward. Taken from the Waluigi´s Reign minigame, the Hammer is Waluigi´s slowest projectile, but it´s also the strongest, with strong knockback. 27 % damage
Up: Waluigi tosses a Blue Shell up. It homes on the player with the least damage percentage. However, it is more likely to home on Waluigi, even when he has the most damage. 18 % damage
Down: Waluigi fires the "Γ" projectile. It moves extremely slowly, kinda like Dhalsim´s Yoga Catasthrophe. It homes in the opponent. 10 %
Side-B: WhirΓuigi: Waluigi spins, creating a tornado around himself. This move is Waluigi´s tool for moving and pestering the foe. On air, it can quickly change direction. On ground, it has limited launch resistance. One hit, 13% damage.
Up-B: Bye Bye: Waluigi´s teleport from Mario Strikers Charged. This works in a similar way to Mewtwo´s teleport. It is much more malleable and controllable, but it is much shorter and has a lot less invincibility. It deals no damage.
Down-B: Dirty Cheater: When the meter is filled, wether it is with anger or vanity, Waluigi´s eyes will glow...
Tricky Cheater
And a backpack with 4 mechanical arms appear on his back
Now Waluigi´s speed is increased by 2x. And he takes half-damage from attacks ! However, in this state, he is much easier to knock off the stage, and his falling speed is decreased. This state lasts for 15 seconds.
B: Venom Pinch: Waluigi darts one of his mechanical arms foward, shooting a lightning bolt each time. The bolts deal 12% damage
Side-B: Wall-Luigi: Waluigi erupts a wall of thorns in front of him that can take 20% damage. Only one wall can be created at a time.
Up-B: Launch: Waluigi reveals rocket engines under his feet and flies up. This move has no horizontal distance, but it has a long vertical distance. No damage
Angry Cheater
Now Waluigi is super pissed, with constant purple effects coming from his body and his eyes in a perpetual glow. Waluigi´s attacks deal 2x damage now, but he takes 2x more damage. However, he is much harder to knock off the screen. The transformation lasts 15 seconds. Every second has Waluigi take 2% damage. When the transformation is over, Waluigi will have taken 30% damage but with no meter. Most of his moves also change.
Jab: Waluigi´s boxing gloves now extend like Ultra-hands, and he flails his hands up and down, covering a lot of distance. Laggy
F-tilt: Waluigi´s kicks can be rapid-fired like Chun-li´s Lightning Kick or Fox´s Jab combo
U-tilt: The uppercut is eletric with multi-hit properties. Laggy. 15%
D-tilt: Waluigi slides along the ground ( picture Dhalsim´s slide )feet first. This move is ridiculously weak, but it covers great distance and can cancel. 7%
Dash Attack is now unblockable, but it does not stun the opponent.
F-Smash: A tall spin kick. Due to Waluigi´s height and his berserker rage, this attempt at harming the foe will most likely fail. It´s very strong if it hits. 30%
U-Smash: Waluigi lashes with his thorn whip. Fast, ranged and strong. Does pitiful shield damage and is quite laggy. 23%
D-Smash: The dreaded ground stomp. However, it can only be used once. Make it count. 18%
Fair: Waluigi air-swims. He has access to 3 strokes. All those strokes can go in whatever direction Waluigi wants. 10&
Bair: Same as the Fair
Uair: Waluigi´s ballerina spin can spin forever and remain in air while doing it. Waluigi can also change directions, which allows him to fly around the screen in a weird helicopter manner. However, the move no longer deals damage
Dair: The aerial version of his assist trophy stomp. While it´s much laggier than before, it is still a fantastic set-up tool. 10%
Throws: For his throws, Waluigi uses this
Pummel: Waluigi tightens the pincer´s grip´on the foe
F-throw: Waluigi slams the pincer forward. 13%
B-throw: Waluigi swings the foe around, like Mario´s back throw. 16%
D-throw: Waluigi quickly gets on top of his foe, spins himself like a purple top on his opponent´s back and jumps off. 30% damage. Acts like a tech-chase
B: Trick Or Waa: Waluigi´s bob-ombs become big,bouncy and purple bombs with Waluigi´s mustache that take longer to explode and bounce up and down. 20% damage. Waluigi´s hammers become Waluigi´s purple wrenches in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, and they are much faster, altough weaker. 15%. Waluigi´s blue shell becomes an Whisker Missile. The damage is the same, but it will go on the opponent, no matter what are the damage percentages. However, it still has a chance ( altough decreased ) to hit Waluigi.
Side-B: Wrecking Waluigi: Waluigi walks foward with shades, a sign taped to his back that warns "Danger" and swinging hammers back and forth. Each hit deals 16%
Up-B: Behind You: A faster, longer, more invincible and laggier teleport that conceals Waluigi in purple smoke for 2 seconds after he finishes it.
Final Smash: Poison Rain: Waluigi quickly summons a barrage of thorns to trap the opponent on the ground. Wether he succeds or not, he jumps into his hot air ballon in the background, flies to the top of the screen, and drops items based on the buttons you press and the state you were. You can throw every single projectile you own based on your correct button inputs, which include: Bob-ombs, hammers, blue shells, Γ, lightning bolts, bouncy bombs, wrenches and whisker missiles
That´s it. This is my Waluigi moveset ( without including taunts ). I hope you can see the images, because my prehistoric computer won´t load them.
YOU HAVE BEEN INFECTED WITH THE WAA VIRUS. NOW, WHENEVER YOU SLEEP, YOU´LL SEE THIS
MY PUPIL... THE TRANSFORMATION IS COMPLETE
Or even better, Waluigi gets in and is top tier, but not only that, Wario also keeps his spot in the top aswell.
11/10
Whatever you do, just don't spam WAA like that.
I doubt Wario will have a Waluigi color scheme, since Luigi already has one.I've always been a huge fan of Waluigi and he gets my support, but when I look at the reality of things, he probably will end up a Assist Trophy again, unfortunately, I always thought even Rosalina had a better chance of being added and I was right.
Therefore what I'd like to see is the next best thing, a color scheme of Waluigi and who better to have his color scheme than Wario!
I know he's not Waluigi, but I feel this is the closest we are going to get to getting Waluigi added as a playable character, at least Wario kind of looks like him and acts like in which Luigi doesn't with his Waluigi color scheme in Brawl.
I do know that, but it doesn't satisfy me like say if Wario had it, Wario has a better resemblance to Waluigi than Luigi does.You do know that Luigi has a Waluigi color scheme in Brawl, right?
Actually it's true, Mario and Luigi are pretty much the same thing except with a few slight differences, in Super Mario World, Luigi was basically Mario with a green palette swap and even Peach calls him Mario when he saves her at the end of the game.
No, same thing does not apply to Wario and Waluigi.
I'm guessing this is excluding the SSE. Unless kidnapping women and children counts as anti-hero behaviour now.
