I'm going to use this topic to address my thoughts about a move that see has incredible potential: the Wario waft. This move is unlike any other move that I've ever heard of, and I have a feeling that Wario players will need to familiarize themselves with this move greatly in order to succeed with him. I know that it's hard to judge a move you know nothing about, but bear with me.
I'll derive all my assumptions from here:

It tells you a lot more than you think. What we know (99% sure of) is:
-VERY good range. Never have I seen a hitbox so large (that's not a final smash). This will no doubt help Wario, whom I believe will have very little range.
-Good knockback/damage. We can assume that an explosion would have those traits. No clue what derection it'll send 'em in, but we can assume it has ample killing power.
-Slight recovery properties (you go up when you use it)
What we don't know (and what will decide the usability of the move):
-Startup time. Since this is a finisher with great range, I doubt startup time will be too much of an issue. One thing to note is that in one of Snake’s codex conversations, Snake is warned “if his belly starts to bulge, watch out”. This makes me thing that there MAY be some considerable starting lag on this. Though, if Wario’s FS is a large fart, that could be what he was referring to.
-Lag. Again, finishers can have plenty of lag on them so long as it hits
-"The timer". This is the big one. What will determine the usefulness of this move (mostly) is how long we will need to wait between maximum power farts (wow I sound stupid saying that :-/ ). Ideally and realistically, it would be two minutes. This be great for standard 8-minute matches, so that Wario can use one of these almost once per enemy stock (and the last life just kill with something else).
-Does Wario start the match with a fully charged fart? Might be useful, though I doubt it’ll work this way. Also, does the build-up stay after you die?
Some things the move could be used for:
-Finisher. It’s an attack with (probably) really good killing potential, so all you’d need to do is to combo into it, assuming Wario can combo half-decently
-Recovery. It seems he’s lifted up when he uses that move. Perhaps this can be and alternate way to recover (if his up B is something else). It would get rid of your farting build-up, but I guess it beat dying. also, in the codec convo it's confirmed that "he can fart to fly around, too"
-Edge guarding. It seems like this attack will go “below” the stage, and with it’s huge hitbox it would be GREAT for edge guarding.
-Mindgames. If this move is as good as I think it’ll be, players will be awfully wary approaching a Wario about to go off...
among other things.
Some other B moves that may relate to this one:
-Neutral B. I think this is where Wario eats stuff thrown at him and can bite people… which got me thinking... what if his farting build-up was boosted by eating projectiles? How awesome would that be? Especially the grenade we see him eat… where does all that all go?
-Up B. One possibility is that his up B works like his vB for recovery, only you can chose the path in which you fly. I kind of doubt this.
So that’s it. I hoped you enjoyed my analysis, and that you now see why I think this move will rock. Thoughts?
