Wario (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)


 * This article is about Wario's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses, see Wario.

Announced at E3 2006, Wario (, Wario) is a character appearing in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Wearing his WarioWare outfit, Wario has an attack where he builds up flatulence over time and later releases a deadly fart called the Wario Waft. What was apparent in the most recent trailer is that he walks on his tiptoes. In the small amount of footage revealed at E3 2007, Wario was shown to use a completely different animation while moving, which had no missing frames, adding to the mystery. Wario has an attack in which he tries to eat the foe and subject them to the garlic stench in his mouth, called Chomp, as well as a midair attack in which he turns upside-down and rams enemies with his head, his Dair.

Recent videos of communications between Snake and his "comrades" hint that Wario can become airborne by farting, which he can only do during his Final Smash, or he can be somewhat propelled by the Wario Waft Additionally, one of Wario's taunts makes him face the screen and stick his fingers out in the shape of a "W". He also has a taunt where he turns around and shakes his rear end at the screen.

Pros:

 * Very high horizontal aerial movement speed
 * Fast, high priority aerials
 * Up Aerial can juggle and kill
 * Bike-jumping can be used to help recover, or as an edgeguard technique
 * Bike can be destroyed if it is on the platform to yield fast projectiles
 * Heavy
 * Wario alone is special
 * Can eat incoming projectiles or items to heal himself
 * Chomp can be used to commit Wariocide, evening out the stocks
 * Wario Waft when fully charged deals incredible damage and knockback, and can help Wario's recovery
 * Can Crawl
 * Has great power

Cons:

 * Bike can be stranded on stage or recently destroyed, disabling it for Wario's recovery
 * Up-B is very poor for recovery
 * Wario Waft takes two full minutes to charge, and is fairly worthless without a full charge
 * Large target
 * Besides the slow forward and down tilts, attacks lack very much range
 * Down-B can result in SD if used in the air by holding it in for a long amount of time.

Ground Attacks

 * Dash A - Trips and falls flat on his face, sliding a small bit. Fairly weak
 * Neutral A - Left hook, then right hook. Decent knockback, but very short ranged
 * Forward Tilt - Punches a large fist forward. Fairly slow, but one of Wario's few attacks with any range
 * Down Tilt - Stabs two enlarged fingers at the ground in front of him. Again slow, but again one of Wario's few ranged attacks
 * Up Tilt - Raises both hands above his head, with 3 fingers raised for W for Wario. Decent vertical launcher for combos
 * Forward Smash - Charges a shoulder forward in his animation from Wario Land
 * Down Smash - Spins rapidly on the ground, like a breakdance kick, except hitting with his head
 * Up Smash - Head grows as Wario spins, hitting multiple times with the head

Aerial Attacks

 * Forward Aerial - Sticks his foot a short distance forward. Short ranged and very little damage or knockback, but very high speed and priorty. Best used for "wall of pain" style attacking
 * Down Aerial - Turns upside down and spins, drilling with his head
 * Up Aerial - Claps above his head. High knockback, can KO easily
 * Neutral Aerial - Extends his hands to slap, and spins in place
 * Back Aerial - Throws his head backwards, hitting with it, entire body horizontal. If he lands while performing this, he will fall onto his back

Grabs and Throws

 * Forward Throw - Spins in a circle, like Mario's Back Throw
 * Back Throw - Hits them backwards with his butt
 * Down Throw - Throws them on the ground and then jumps on top of them, knocking them a little away
 * Up Throw - Throws them in to the air and jumps his head up in to them.

Costumes
One of Wario's color scheme appears as one of Mario's costumes (via one of Mario's costumes look like Wario's) and Wario is currently the only character who has 2 different outfits (a biker-type outfit and his classic overall look) with 6 color schemes each, totalling up to 12 possible costumes.

Role in The Subspace Emissary
After Mario or Kirby does battle with Petey Piranha, one of the cages in which Petey holds either Princess Zelda or Princess Peach will break, depending on which cage the player damaged more while battling Petey. The Princess who the player saves will escape with the player; Wario traps the other in the form of a trophy and takes off with the trophy on his shoulder. He is revealed to be a member of the Subspace Army. Wario then hunts down Lucas in an abandoned town, dispacthing Pokey Minch to corner him and weaken him. Pokey Minch is defeated by Lucas with the help of Ness, but Wario appears and captures Ness. Wario then loses his trophies to King Dedede after he is ambushed by Waddle Dees. Wario tracks Lucas and his partner, the Pokemon Trainer, down and fights them. Wario is defeated and left behind. When Galleom's Subspace Bomb detonates, the area of Subspace expands and absorbs Wario's trophy. Wario appears at the end and aids the heroes in their battle against Taboo.

Event Matches
