Waluigi: The Man Behind the Memes - Challenger Approaching

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

You know what I love about Waluigi? Mario, Luigi, Wario, Peach, they're all "star children" blessed with great power. This is why they're capable of doing all the crazy things they do. Waluigi, though? He's just a guy. Multiple games specifically state he trains hard to match their power with his skill, and cheats because he beleives the odds are unfair. Waluigi hates everyone else and pities himself because they were freely given what he's fighting for. The only way he could even garner _any_ recognition was to dress up like the Mario Brothers! Nobody cared who he was until he put on the overalls. I don't know about you, but that sounds like some FANTASTIC villain motivation!

[@Doracake]

I think the problem is your perspective is just an observation from realworld, but we actually don't know what kind of character Waluigi is in game as NIntendo never tried to explain. Maybe Waluigi is busy in his own adventures or schemes? Who knows. What we really need to having Nintendo give Waluigi a focus in games so that we can clearly tell what his role is in official perspective. Just like a student is always silent in class so you imagine that she is bullied by her classmates, but actually she just likes to be quite, and all her classmates rather like her.

[@INFERNO95]

@@Marcelo-rs8yh He a filler character not made by Nintendo so he not getting a game.

[@Dragular]

@@INFERNO95 Waluigi isn't a filler character. By your logic, Mario is a filler character. He was originally created to be a replacement for Popeye in the ort Donkey Kong arcade game. He's sure as hell a lot more now. Waluigi may have been originally created to be a tennis partner for Wario, but that's not his only purpose. Waluigi is has become much more. He's appeared in every Mario Tennis game, every Mario Party since Mario Party 3, every Mario Kart since Double Dash besides MK7, every Mario and Sonic game, every Mario Baseball game, every Mario Hoops game, was the main antagonist of Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, and many more. He's appeared in over 60 games. That's not filler. That argument is extremely weak. Also, it doesn't matter if Nintendo didn't make him. They own the rights to him.

[@phari4820]

He should be the main villain in a Mario game. The plot could be the same as always, either Peach or some magic beings are captured, Mario and friends have to save them. But when most people would expect the kidnapper to be Bowser, it's revealed that it was Waluigi all along, and all that he wanted was to get the spotlight for at least once, because if he can't get it in any other way, the only way left is to just become the villain, even if that means getting defeated like every other villain is, cause in the end of the day he got one chance to shine

[@AlphaSteboh]

Really fond of the notion of things going wrong with his taunts. It gives me the idea of 'things going wrong' for some of his moves, like how Luigi's Green Missile will go haywire at random. Really neat!

Pre Video: Waluigi is one of those characters that I have seen drastically different moveset interpretations of over time. Some focussing on Mario Spinoffs, some on him breaking the fourth wall. I made a concept involving him imitating the attacks of other fighters, but poorly. Let's see how Delzethin handles it! Edit: This is the best Waluigi moveset I've ever seen. GG Delzethin.

[@ZeothTheHedgehog]

​@@peacorptv6502 that could be bizarre reference, but I can't place my finger on what.

[@Alaneeeeee]

This moveset is actually great. I think Waluigi will no doubt enter in the next game, and he could be pretty similar to this. I also think Waluigi could get his own game sometime in the future, so, if that ever happens, they will for sure try to implement elements from it. Only thing I'm not so sure of this moveset is the Down B though, maybe it's too much to alter stages like that, both from a programming and design standpoint but it's certainly interesting. Maybe it could affect fighters directly, causing status effects or triggering surprise attacks, like poison, stunning the enemy or just exploding and dealing damage, all at random. Or maybe even nothing at all! Other than that, the moveset is great, certainly better than others I've seen that try to get as many sports and references as possible.

[@juanrodriguez9971]

It could be awesome if Waluigi's up smash launched a tennis ball as a projectile while the down Smash is the flurry amount of kicks that buries the opponent.

[@INFERNO95]

Nintendo didn't make him.

[@Dragular]

@@INFERNO95 Doesn't mean people can't like him or ask for him to get recognition. Plus, since Nintendo has featured Waluigi in many games developed by him, I'd argue they own the rights to Waluigi.

[@bilis2866]

people say this and he appears in every spinoff game, like??

[@Doracake]

You kind mistake the order, tho. Since NIntendo already dislike Waluigi in general games, Nintendo would still not want to put Waluigi in Smash. Like, Cinderella had been disliked by her stepmother, so why would you expect her to bring her to the roYal party and let her meet the prince? They should already like him in most games, and then they would consider him for Smash. That's the right logic.

[@1BeautifulDuck]

​@@Doracake You sure? Because they wouldn't add a character they hate into every single Mario spinoff, or give him a conference room at the Nintendo of America, or make him the main antagonist of most sports games. Just because they don't use him everywhere doesn't mean they hate them. They could have easily left him as a one-game character in Mario Tennis, but they didn't. They could have easily replaced him with someone like Captain Syrup or Jimmy T, but they didn't. And you know why? Because Nintendo doesn't hate him. They don't hate any of their characters, and that's a fact. Sorry for the long comment, I just had a lot to get out!

[@TheMightyKite]

Waluigi could get his Soccer uniform from Strikers, and I think He's kinda like the DC character Sportsmaster, and that would be the best way to make his moveset based off all the Sports and even Kart tricks He has had.

[@thegreygoblin5165]

Yeah, I can see that. Having Waluigi's moveset take inspiration from Casey Jones or Sportmaster seems weirdly fitting considering Waluigi's history with the Mario Sports spin-offs.

[@BloodnightStudios]

This could work. Have a move set with tennis racket, soccer ball, kart finisher, Mario party powers, etc.

[@Doracake]

@@thegreygoblin5165 The problem is Waluigi isn't known for soccer and sports. If we need sport, shouldn't we scout characters who were actually born from a sport game franchise?

[@emanresU2020]

These are all the basic ideas behind other Smash KZbinrs that I’ve seen before this one: Brawlfan1: mostly references to the Mario spinoffs and was also based off a moveset concept he made for Daisy before she became playable DukeofDorks: the Deadpool of Smash Max Hamm: Smash moveset gone completely insane/someone might have been on drugs while making this And now this one which shares some similarities to all 3 honestly. In fact, every Waluigi moveset I’ve seen has some random elements or awkward/ weird attributes, and the best part is that all of them fit. Waluigi is a joke character at heart even when you ignore all the memes, so people having a lot of different ideas as to how he could work is part of the fun of talking about him. Overall, this is a well done moveset for the Great Grandmaster of Wah along with all the others. Well done.

[@peacorptv6502]

There's a guy on Smashfaqs who made a moveset for him built around time manipulation and knives... ...Yeah, I really don't know why.

[@GreenStarGalaxian]

@@peacorptv6502 WAIWAIWAIWAI- HOLDONHOLDONHOLDON! WAS- WAS THAT A J- *WAS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?!*

[@Doracake]

I think the problem is in NIntendo and Director Sakurai's view, if they can just create random or original moveset, they can do this for any character especially the one they like, so we wouldn't know who'd win this. Like Plant Piranha is literally just like what you mean and it wins, so clearly this idea doesn't help Waluigi only The point is Waluigi had to compete against many characters who have participated in other major games with completed moveset concept. We should think if Waluigi has a major game role, that would help him much better in the Smash invite competition.

[@1080Frostbite]

While Waluigi Hasn't made an appearance in the main series games, he certainly exists. He has been referenced to. For example, Mario can wear his outfit in Super Mario Odyssey.

So the problem is always that Nintendo seem to ignore it when they made Wario's own series. Like, Waluigi sure also gets along with Jimmy and Mona, too.

[@jopo1052]

This is probably my favorite move set for Waluigi

[@liamfunnyman6965]

The fun thing about Waluigi is that he does something new almost every time he shows up. You can make the guy do literally anything you want (as long as it follows Nintendo's rules of keeping the series family-friendly) and no one would even question it, because hey, it's Waluigi; when has he ever done anything that made sense to begin with? That's why, if by some miracle Waluigi were to ever be playable in Smash, I would want his entire moveset to just be one big mind screw.

[@Doracake]

But that can be said to any character if we want him/her playable, that wouldn't be a specific reason for Nintendo to notice Waluigi in the first place. The exact same thing may be said to Plant Piranha, for example, so that Plant Pirahna has the good reason to rob Waluigi's chance, would you really agree with that? Ultimately, the movsets are usually sourced from real games, not entirely originally created in Smash. Which is also why Waluigi needs to learn more exclusive moves by going to more new games, like how Peach learned in Showtime.

[@mrmuffins951]

Waluigi can’t be in smash without an alternate costume that matches Luigi’s exactly

[@HeavenlyZanpakuto]

For the box I think to make Waluigi worth it he could have just about every Mario kart item. It’d still be random and if you’re argument is that it’s too much, Hero has 20 spells all randomly displayed 5 at a time.

[@venomgaming7014]

I have an idea of Waluigi’s reveal trailer. The scene opens in Luigi’s casino (from Mario 64 DS). Full of characters. At the poker table, sits 4 assist trophies. Rodin, Zero, Spring Man and Shadow. The 4 are talking about who could become a full-on fighter next, like little Mac or dark samus did…when the lean, mean meme machine sits down with them. They greet Waluigi, before agreeing on the wager being a smash bros invitation. Rodin deals out the cards and their game of Black Jack begins. After what felt like hours (though more so a few minutes), it came down to the wire. Spring man and Shadow had gone bust, while zero and Waluigi remained. Waluigi was at 19. Favourable, but risky. Zero was at 18. Lower risk, but less than ideal for being so late in the game. Waluigi decides to stay at 19, due to the high risk of being at 19. Zero asks for another card and at 18, a 4 or higher will make him go bust. But if he gets a 2-3, he’s won the invite. Rodin nods silently and gives a card to zero. Rodin wasn’t too interested in participating in the game, so he opted to be dealer. What card did zero receive? A 4 of spades. Zero had gone over 21, going bust. Though a tad miffed, zero accepts defeat surprisingly well, with spring man and shadow giving a round of applause. Rodin shakes Waluigi’s hand and hands him the letter. Waluigi shakes the hand of shadow, spring man and zero, before flashing the invite letter to the screen. Waluigi stands up triumphantly as the splash card appears over his other hand. *WALUIGI HITS THE JACKPOT!*

[@Doracake]

I think all Smash trailers dedicate to character origins. So since Rosalina and Isabelle had very proper trailers about their origin, I think Waluigi['s would just be fine like them. Besides you kinda refute yourself, what about all other assists? Waluigi was never the candidate among all characters or at least the assists. I mean Waluigi can be a future fighter but it doesn't really have any to do with being an assist before. All asssists have their fans after all.

[@venomgaming7014]

@@Doracakefocus on the actual scene before making assumptions. The focus of the scene is the poker game between Waluigi, zero, spring man and shadow. I was using the casino as the backdrop for the poker game since Waluigi’s main track in Mario kart (a literal pinball machine) would likely be found in a casino. And Waluigi is the most requested assist trophy BY FAR.

[@Doracake]

@@venomgaming7014 My point is if other past assist trohpy characters become fighters but their trailers didn't mention that, they'd be fine with that way. Besides in NIntendo's view they wouldn't know they would try to use this idea on Waluigi, they may also use it on Barbara or Jirachi if they really want to do so. I think the logical problem here is being assist trophy before ISN'T part of the character's canonical histroy from original games, since Smash is usually considered non-canonical.

[@cofagrigusfan24]

i would do the following for his grab, smashes, specials, back air & final smash grab - vine whip [from Mario Strikers Charged] side smash - baseball [he swings a baseball bat, and a small projectile is also launched] down smash - golf [he swings a golf club, and a small projectile is also launched] up smash - tennis [he does a tennis serve, and a small projectile is also launched] neutral special - item box [pulls a item box & throws it on the ground, the same wheel as in MK shows above his head (not the icon), and he gets an item that is in *both* games] side special - dice block [he throws an Party dice block, and the number gives a random effect (think G&W's Judge on a distance)] up special - air swimming [he swims in the air, a stamina heart shows up next to him, showing how many times you can tap the button] down special - ground stomp [from his assist trophy days] back air - Γ pose [he strikes a Γ pose in the air] final smash - destruction dance [he does his dance from Mario Mix, and fire balls are being lauched from behind him & a few bob-ombs rain from the sky]

So, the concept had him basically pull a deadpool to battle for his abilities.

[@Dip7man]

I like this idea Other ideas with him cheating had an almost completely unique move set that has no references So I think ya did good

[@ffiiggyy]

Max Hamm's is pretty good too.

[@ffiiggyy]

@Dark Stuff No references from the games he appeared in? Air Swimming Up-B? That move is literally just begging to be an Up Special. Tennis Racket F-Smash that can reflect? Referencing his character debut. Wall-uigi as a long range grab? Mario Strikers reference which also solidifies the fact that he's a waterbender. The throws he mentioned also has a Mario Golf reference. There's also the DDR:MM Down Smash, a reflector Back Air. Also, he was always known to use the tools to their fullest but at the same time questionable extent in every game he participated in which makes Side B and Down B actually genius. As for the gimmick it actually makes a ton of sense because in the Mario Tennis games he's referred to as a defensive character because of his long stature and can keep up with almost any character and continue the rally. And with said gimmick he is able to keep up with his opponent and think ahead to gain an advantage, this balances out his fairly bad frame data. Sure, there are changes that can be made for his moveset like the moving the Slide Tackle to a Dash attack, Use another bludgeon for his Side B something like an Item Box which has various behaviors like destroying 1/4 of a shield when an item is a green shell, 2/4 of a shield when it's a red shell and a full shield when it's a Bob-omb, items like a beam sword, Fire Flower could also fly out of the item box after it hits an opponent, but all in all it's definitely the closest thing to a moveset made by Sakurai. It doesn't really have any meme references, that's just how Waluigi is.

[@ffiiggyy]

@Dark Stuff The Down B isn't really that incohesive when you take into account his fairly slow but long reaching moves Hamm gave him and can allow you to cover opponent's options better on the ledge. Is it feasible? I don't really know, but we got Minecraft Steve that has 3 moves mapped into one button and Bowser Jr. also has a similar Down B to begin with. Also, I disagree with you saying he was just going with it when an archetype is actually present, cunning yet capable. Although Neutral B could work like Deep Breathing, providing a slight buff when you finish a 60-80 frame animation. In all honesty though, seeing all these Waluigi movesets that are vastly different from each other may it be for better or for worse, it kinda goes to show how capable the man really is and how he can delve into almost any archetype kinda like Wolf but with a lot more flair and a bit less substance. It's probably just because you saw something in this moveset that I haven't and vice versa with the Max Hamm one. I don't really have a problem with this moveset and you make good points about the Neutral B's baffling purpose but hey we're talking about the man who put a mustache in an eggplant and built a Kart with his own two hands using stolen airplane parts if I remember correctly.

[@ffiiggyy]

@Dark Stuff That's probably why he labeled it as cursed, still did a great job though. Being perfectly honest though, I don't think Sakurai's moveset would look similar to this, it's just up for interpretation for the moveset maker and I do believe Sakurai will do things differently, if he makes one for him anyways. It was a nice discussion.

[@Doracake]

@@ffiiggyy We should use put in Nintendo's view: they wouldn't know to pick Waluigi specifically if they get to create an original moveset for any single character. They may also just go for someone else like Plant Piranha, but that wouldn't be good news for fans who just want Waluigi. Even for general Mario spinoffs he is in, all the subjects he was in also had Mario, Birdo, Bowser and other main cast who'd be as competent as him in the end. So that wouldn't ensure Waluigi to be the only candidate for Mario rep. Ultimately what Waluigi needs is a special role in a new game with very unique moves, in order to garuntee a special moveset for him to apply for next Smash.

THANK YOU. Everywhere I go that talks about Waluigi decides to be annoying about how he is definitely going to make it into Ultimate despite the fact that Assist Trophies are designed the way are because they are not going to be playable that game. You on the other hand actually say that it's about what might happen eventually, not what might happen now.

[@Doracake]

Uh, I'm sure there are tons of assist characters to compete for next Smash. The only argument is that NIntendo should have other characters be assist trohpy for this time, but that doesn't mean the fighter roster has infinite chance for all past assist characters to become fighters immediately. I mean Waluigi is at least an assist, you don't see that Dixie and Mona cannot even appear as assist or anything else?

[@PokeHearts]

I'm so glad you had the same thought I did. This moveset feels more like a real moveset rather than a collection of references

[@julien827]

yet another great one. hope to see one for monster hunter or lloyd one day.

[@PipS03]

Taunts having a chance to fail sounds to good to not be in eventually, whether on Waluigi or another fighter, great idea!

[@wfr2615]

Recommended is better than I thought...

Personnaly, I may never have been an avid Waluigi supporter, I still would like to see him be playable someday, I just thought that maybe other mario characters should have got their chance before him, we kind of did, to a point where the idea of him becoming playable seems closer and closer. However, I think it would only happen in a another Smash game (if we ever got one) it seems to me that if a character is an assist trophy in a game, he just can't be promoted in the same game (furthermore, I'm favorable to him but there is also other assist trophies that feel would be even more interessting to promote I would be kind of bitter toward that). As for movesets, for a while Pizzadudemanguy's (allias Issac) was my favourite because as he said, Waluigi could have a moveset based upon references to the Mario Spin Offs but that makes people argue that he hassn't much to offer since you could do the same for every other Mario character. And as such, his approach of making his moveset based mainly on Tennis was unique and quite fun. As for yours, I was intrigued when I saw the thumbnail to know your take on the Man behind the memes, while I like your content a lot, your one of my 4 favourite moveset makers of youtube along with Brawlfan1, Pizzadudemanguy or Feliciafan,(special mention to the rest Ready Moveset Go team too) but you sometime hit the mark in a such a way that your moveset tends to be truer to smash style and you are more constant about it compared to some of the others where they can go overboard (see Brawlfan1's Paper Mario Moveset for reference). And once again, You hit that special mark. It just feels like a perfect balance of Mario game references and rules bending that feels just right and works better than just have him use spin off props or bend the rule so much that it's 4th wall breaking. Well done once agin !

[@cceider]

I think a Waluigi moveset all about the mario spinoff is the best way to go with him

[@Doracake]

How? Wouldn't it be more general to include all kind of games from Mario series?

[@jeannepixel4692]

Buff Waluigi neutral special

[@SonicSanctuary]

this is actually very good!

[@spongyoshi]

I love all the Mario spin-off reps in him and that'd be my main reason for me to be for his inclusion. His ? space event sounds a bit *TOO* crazy but I would love that so hard!! Great concept as always and great video overall!

[@Dudbun]

I think it'd be more fun if his item box gave you a single use of another character's item as an emphasis on Waluigi being a trickster. Items could be like K. Rool's crown, R.O.B's Gyro, Bowser Jr's Mechakoopa, hell let him just throw out Wario's bike for a laugh. All these items will disappear once they hit the ground to save on like the stage getting filled with Wario bikes or any confusion on which crown is the real crown for K. Rool

[@andypeoples7175]

The happening down special is genius. I want that in the game

[@mopeluso]

Give waluigi a 1 percent chance of getting a smash ball from item box it’s completely unfair and extremely hard to get much like judge 9

[@bendavisson3881]

Release trailer: Waluigi sitting on the couch of him and his brother's house with a sad look on his face when suddenly... the smash invitation envelope flies through the window. Waluigi suddenly notices the envelope and opens it and finds an invitation note to the roster. Waluigi joyfully screams "WA HA!" as he runs out the door to be included in the smash roster.

[@Mark---W]

Honestly Shadow the Hedgehog has a much better moveset potential over Waluigi. Not to mention that Shadow is much more important than Waluigi in the role of his franchise. The ULTIMATE LIFEFORM should be the one to break "fan rule" of Assist Trophy being upgraded in the same game.

[@Doracake]

This is old say: if NIntendo knew Waluigi is a fighter, they should just make him a fighter and then introduce a brand new assist trohpy in the start. We shouldn't expect them to pay effort to alter the game afterward. The point is there are tons of assist characters and pokeballs. NIntendo don't have the effort to make all of them fighters, if so we would had got thirty more fighters in this game and that's very unrealistic thinking.

[@Mariokid64DS]

I would think that Waluigi's up special would be springy shoes, like from the April Fool's joke that said that Waluigi was in Super Mario 64 DS.

[@nicholascincotta6609]

Please put waluigi in smash!

[@BooTheBearricade]

For the up tilt you missed a good opportunity to show him hitting the dice block in Mario party. That’s how I imagine his uptilt

[@Jawmax]

Happening huh? Well at least it's not chance time!

Waluigi should be the new meme man. Change my mind

[@jeremiasmartinezcatsandvid5275]

Piranha plant + assist Trophy Waluigi + Fighter

[@acsound]

Waluigi's soccer uniform from MARIO STRIKERS; as for the taunt, his STRIKERS taunt could be useful...if it doesn't change SSBU's ESRB rating.

[@nicholascincotta6609]

I love waluigi!

[@guidoblok]

That down b ‘Happening’ would probably ‘not be happening’. Looking at what sakurai had to do to the stages so Steve could work he probably wouldent do it again. Im a big fan of your creative moveset tho and I respect you put the time and effort in it to make it up.

[@lukasgauvreau8344]

Pretty cool but the down b seemed insanely technical to add into a game. Sweet idea and always love the effort put into these

[@InkThinks]

*Everyone liked this*

[@Alexs23743]

This is better than my attempt at Waluigi, which made him a "half-clone" of Wario. Most notably, his up special was like Luigi's, in that it went straight up and hardly did anything to opponents unless he got the sweetspot. ^^; For down special, I opted to use a Dice Block instead.

[@Doracake]

Wario's moveset is about his own series, tho. If we want Waluigi to use references from Wario games, he has to also appear in those games.

[@mds_main]

I've always wanted Waluigi ever since Brawl and not for the memes, I genuinely like the character. Let's hope for the next game.

[@Jman20077]

Technically Waluigi did make a short cameo in WarioWare but it doesn’t really count

[@ffiiggyy]

Wait, for real? Which game?

[@Jman20077]

The very end is edited to have an image of sad Waluigi fade in, But otherwise I’m pretty sure it’s legit

[@matheusgomespinto4915]

You made Waluigi a smash version of Dr.Faust...And that is so feating😍

[@matheusgomespinto4915]

But ypu could had including some reference to Mario Strikers, like it's torn whip.

[@ethantreadway9478]

Great move set

[@Steelbleeder]

With Steve being added Waluigi is arguably the most recognizable dlc choice left. (Even if it’s just known as the purple Mario bro)

[@cceider]

Well in the realistic choices, he is up there. I am unsure if Sora is more recognizable or not. But in none realistic choices like Master Chief, he is not that recognizable. Let's pray for WAH

[@lunarclysm4392]

Man imagine seeing a Waluigi main at a major or him being a top tier

[@HypeVoiceActing]

Honestly I feel like Waluigi is a character that probably revels in the memes because they give him exactly what he wants: attention At his core, Waluigi is a weird and pathetic show boater who thinks he's better than everyone, but fate always has other plans for him. So while I get why you'd wanna separate him from the memes, I feel like anything that gives him even a remote amount of attention should also be glorified as an element of his character.
