Wario

[R0Y]

If that's real, that's ****in' hysterical.
Gives me more reason to spam the side taunt.

Highly unlikely it's real. The spelling is off. I don't think most Aussies make that spelling mistake, especially if they work for the federal government.

Come to think of it, it may not even be talking about Wario.

Don't we know of a certain fatass who has a hard time keeping his pants up?

King Hippo Trophy/Assist confirmed.

I never realized how much I wanted King Hippo in Smash until now.
King Hippo for Smash 5!

I'm going to download Wario Land just to get myself hyped for Wario's Return!

He'll be back, but no way that "response" from the ACB is legit.

 

[Superyoshiom]

Ehh...

Change his down-B. I'm an immature man, and love many childish jokes, but fart jokes are absolutely stupid IMO. Honestly asking, does anyone find them funny and why?

That's like telling Mario not to jump.
Well, it's not that extreme, but it's a part of Wario's character.
plus I'd hate for it to go since it's actually a pretty good KO tool even at low percents sometimes

 

[TerminalMontage]

I don't doubt that Wario is returning, but that reddit account is 1 day old, and only posted that. Add the incorrect spelling and I think we've got a faker. Unless someone else emails ESRB and gets the same response.

Exactly, I thought this move was absolutely stupid.

Still hoping he gets a Wario Woods color swap.

I'm pretty sure Sakurai didn't say to himself "I should give Wario a fart attack because it'd be so funny hehehe"

 

[Reila]

Where is Wario?

 

[Deleted member]

Wario's farting is no joke.
It's lethal.

@GoldenYuiitusin I was reading the first page of this thread, and it was there where you revealed the likely origin of Wario's Bite move. I am surprised an origin existed! Do you know anything about Wario's other SSBB moves?

Bite - Wario World
Corkscrew - World
Jab - World
F Throw - World
FSmash - World/Land

Bike - Ware
Waft - Ware

The rest are original, but are comically animated to fit the character or could even be subtle nods to his games. His dtilt might as well be a reference to the cursor in Warioware, and his uptilt and throw are his signature poses ftom the Land games. Even his double jump animation is a reference to Warioware twisted. (It's based on his pose from the game.) So much thought has been put into the character.

Also, his forward throw is inspired by how he throws Bowser in Super Mario 64 DS (if you play as him for one of those battles, if not, then, Mario and Luigi do the same thing).

His back throw is the butt slam. His forward throw is the giant swing...which yes, he does in 64 DS, but I'm willing to say it's probably more inspired by World.

 

[Hexaped]

@ Spinosaurus Is the Bite not likely inspired by a mini-game from the first Wario Ware?

A bit of both probably. But the animatiom and the snap makes me think World. The thing is he doesn't bite in that game, but just sucks in coin lol.

 

[Hexaped]

OK. But, OH! Wait. Did anyone realize Wario's dash animation was based on his boss fight in Super Mario Land?! I was particularly surprised when I realized it.

Neat!

Did anyone notice this? Wario's Forward Tilt seems inspired by Booster's basic attack from SMRPG :D http://youtu.be/1Ip3v2wUSns?t=4m56s where he spins his arm around then punches with an enlarged fist!

 

[Spinosaurus]

A wind up punch isn't an uncommon thing. Plus his stance is different from Wario's when he does it so idk? It's possible.

 

[Hexaped]

I have barely played SMRPG, but I know what Booster looks like, and that connection does not seem too farfetched. I would appreciate such a subtle reference to Booster. Does anyone have an idea for the origin of Wario's down smash?

In Warioware, when you finish a character's stage and watched their ending, there's a small scene afterwards showing the character going to a disco club and start dancing. The amount of people in the club depends on the amount of characters stages you beat, and Wario is ALWAYS the first one. He was never shown breakdancing specifically, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's where the inspiration came from. Probably stretching though...

 

[Hexaped]

OK. Do you know what may have inspired his up aerial or back aerial? I shall not ask about any more!

 

[Deleted member]

@ Spinosaurus
Chomp is nothing like the Hyper Suction from Wario World.

Honestly haven't played World in a while, but I always thought the animation was strikingly similar. I'll check again.

In the words of Doc Louis:

Smash aint no joke

 

[andalsoandy]

Wario is probably really late to join the battle due to glitches with the Bike.

I mean just look at this ****:

 

[Deleted member]

Ok, if glitches are the reason the Bike is replaced, then I'd be less upset over it.

 

[andalsoandy]

I'd imagine those were just made up for his character but they may have a microgame origin.

 

[JabbatheHutt]

Wario's Bike and Bite are two moves I use the most. will be seriously upset if i lose the bike

 

[Spinosaurus]

Jesus those glitches lol lol Didn't know any of these existed.

 

[HeavyLobster]

Losing the bike is my single biggest problem with Project M.

 

[Spinosaurus]

It's the straightforward playstyle for me. I wouldn't have minded his PM version if he didn't deprive too much from his heavy defensive and aerial playstyle. I get that they tried to balance his ground and KO options which the shoulder bash both fill (in comparison to the bike which is a move that aided his defense), but it really only made him so simplified. I can't help but feel that my primary objective is to connect a move to a shoulder bash consistently, which made him more of an offensive aerial character...something Jigglypuff already fills.

 

[andalsoandy]

Hang on guys... there's a Hyrule Warriors Direct next week, right?

Hyrule Warriors...

Warriors.

Wariors?

Warios...

Wario!

Wario confirmed for Hyrule Warriors!

 

[Hexaped]

"Waha! Rupees are colorful, too, unlike coins. I shall rename Hyrule into Warule! But beware of Walink, Walda, and Wanondorf! They want to overthrow my wastle! Only you can stop them! Save me, you fools!"~some guy
Anyway, it would be fun if Wario had some complex special move which involved the collection of coins. He could, perhaps punch a bunch of coins out of someone, and be able to collect them to heal or something else.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I'm getting it Day 1

Spoiler

 

[Hexaped]

Umm, the DLC would probably be too expensive for anyone.

I would rather see Wario throw bombs as a down b.
