      i asked you to show me how he developed character himself and you said " he's the most fleshed out character "
      that's just a statement with no fact to go off of.
      Either show me actual moments in the games or stop grasping for something that doesn't exist--Stop throwing insults because it makes you look like all the other Waluigi fanboys that have no real grasp on their argument.
      Hell, all you did was give more reason as to why he isn't in the game... " his own creators mock him "
      OR MAYBE
      Maybe there is nothing for you to grasp onto, proving even more so that he has no real reason to be in the game beyond an Assist Trophy.

    I'm actually one of those people who really wish to see Waluigi be a playable fighter, however not because of the memes, i've always just liked him as a character because he just rubbed off as an underdog to me. I think there is so much potential for a unique moveset with him if the Smash team would simply give him a chance!

    • @Doracake
      @Doracake 5 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      I don't mean there are no serious and loyal fans. But what makes Waluigi a meme and Nintendo don't agree is that Waluigi is indeed a less significant character from Mario series when most other characters have more spotlights already. Potential is very different from actually happens things, and Nintendo wants to bring in references from past ganes, that is very important.
      Waluigi does need a chance, but it should be Miyamoto and Mario game directors to take the job first by giving Waluigi a featured game. As for Smash bros it has to take care of all Nintendo game franchises, and it is not used to promote a character who lacks attention firm his/her game series, if that can also apply to many other Nintendo characters as well. Only when Waluigi has become as important as most Smash fighters currently should Nintendo count him in.

      Uh... what? You're supposed to know that Wario in Smash represents his own series. If he has a partner fighter by logic you can only choose between Mona, Ashley or Jimmy . Waluigi can only be nominated as a Mario fighter, he is irrelevant with Wario in Smash bros classification. It's weird cause you don't sound like other characters such as Birdo, KatAna or Pauline are also part of this group as well.
      And if you just mean that the whole Mario series main cast can be inserted by such logic, other franchises like Kirby, Xenoblade and Zelda series may do such request to add a sidekick/rival as well. Smash bros cannot insert all main casts of all series, which is why selection is necessary. Unless there are over 200 fighter slots to allow all of them. Ultimately the only game you can have all Mario main cast playable, is simply just a Mario game. You cannot expect the same in Smash bros as it has to deal with twenty other Nintendo franchises out there.
      Really by your point, then Super Mario games are already incomplete due to Waluigi's consistent absence and we never saw Waluigi portrayed as a main partner or villain to Mario. It should happen in the original series first before we really move on to Smash bros.

    Piranha Plant's representation as a fighter is pretty revolutionary for character inclusion in my eyes. It proves that not every fighter has to be one of the main protagonists or main antagonists, but can be plain enemies too. As long as they have good moveset potential, it can work out (and Piranha Plants CAN move, mind you. Ptooies exist. And Piranha Plant represents the species, not just the vanilla Piranha Plant).

      Marth is great at spacing
      Lucina is overall the most balanced of the swords
      Roy is the strongest rushdown swordsman due to his hilt mechanic

      Young Link has very low ending lag on his moves, making him a great hit and run character.
      Toon Link has faster start up on his moves than Young Link, but slower end lag, making Toon Link the most aggressive projectile swordsman in the game.

      Ganondorf isn't even primarily a swordsman
      Robin focusses on magic more than his Sword.

  • @Yoshixandir
    @Yoshixandir 5 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Honestly I think the reason why waluigi failed to be playable along with popular assist trophies such as issac shadow and shovel knight was due to the smash ballot. If you recall the smash ballot was basically a suggestion box on what the fans (as a whole) wanted to see playable in smash. Once bayonetta won the ballot (which is debatable but she is still a popular characther) the team looked at the results and see what everyone wanted.
    I believe that all the newcomers are the winners of the ballot since this is what fans wanted the most worldwide (keep in mind some characthers may have only been popular in one area during the ballot.) After all, the ballot allowed any characther to be suggested as long as they came from a video game and if you give them a good reason. Not to mention that almost every newcomer is a fan favortie. Incineroar despite not existing during the ballot still makes sense since he is also a popular gen 7 pokemon.
    I think that the assist trophies stayed as assist trophies due to other fanbases outclassed them with their size. For ex golden sun and waluigi fans may have a fanbase but they are significantly smaller than many of these newcomer like ridley king k rool etc. They got beaten out by the vote. Another thing that could have happen was that maybe their fanbase wasted (for example they didnt take it seriously and refrence a meme therefore giving nintendo the impression that they dont care) or not voted for their characther thinking that they were guarantee a spot. Lastly, for all we know maybe these characthers aren't as popular worldwide.
    Their is tons of fan poll that say that characthers like issac waluigi shovel knight etc were the true winners. However they are wrong since nintendo is only looking at the official smash ballot. Plus if the polls show them winning then they would have easily made it in the game since "apperantly they were high demand". After all we got: ridley a characther that was a stage hazzard, daisy who could have easily been ignored but due to fan demand gave her a chance, chrom and ken popular characther that many people liked despite being echoes , dark samus and isabelle assist trophies that got promoted thanks to their popularity, simon and king k rool two characthers that have been absent for years got in thanks to their fans.

    The thing about waluigi, is that his moveset would have been nothing unique. Everybody else in the mario party games can do what he does and wii fit trainer is basically the sports character

    WALUIGI FOR SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    We never wanted him for the memes but we wanted him for more development and to finally be able to see and play a character that as been gone, lost in the shadows, for a long time, and we need more development for him

      I agree he needs development, but this job belongs to the regular Mario games, not Smash bros which is a non canon crossover game.

    You know when they made Wii U smash bros both Miyamoto and Sakurai made fun of Waluigi
    Miyamoto said: “Waluigi is not fit for smash as he is a loser.”
    Sakurai also said on miiverse: “Pic of the Day: Waluigi is a assist trophy meaning he is not playable. Just because you try hard doesn’t mean you will succeed.”

    Look, I actually like Waluigi too, but I don't treat him as a meme character, and I doubt he'll be in Smash (at least yet). These guys actually protesting (more like harassing people) in real life just for a fictional character to get in a fighting game is absolutely nuts.

      Honestly, Waluigi could be a sports representative for the Mario Series, but it isnt likely since Smash represents the important and memorable/purposeful characters in the series they're from. Daisy and Piranha Plant have memorable times like PP being a character found in many/if not all the mario games somewhere and being a important hazard in Mario's quest. Daisy was a main damsel in distress in Super Mario Land and her many appearances in other titles shows she hasn't been forgotten. Meanwhile Waluigi has been forgotten before ( *In Mario Kart 7* , where they even remembered the Honey Queen form Mario Galaxy). Waluigi doesn't serve any purpose or importance other than a filler character for Wario. Memes were what brought his popularity up and, if you ask me, being requested because people want a meme character in Smash and he's the closest they'll get isn't a great strategy

      He needs his own game. There's Luigi's Mansion and WarioWare, if Waluigi had his own unique game, maybe then I could see him get in Smash.
