Changes: Wario (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)

Revision as of 16:27, 28 November 2018

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

Wario (ワリオ, Wario) makes his first playable appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He was one of the first newcomers announced at E3 2006 alongside Meta Knight, Pit, Zero Suit Samus, and Snake.

Wario currently ranks 10th on the tier list (the second highest ranked sub-series Mario character) due to his unique attributes as a fighter and unique options for approaching fighters. On the downside, his attacks lack range and his Up Special recovery is mediocre, being one of the worst in the game. However, this has not stopped Wario from achieving high tournament results and good matchups.

Attributes

Even by Smash Bros. standards, Wario is a very unique character. Due to being small and a heavyweight, he is difficult to KO, but he also possesses the best aerial mobility in the game due to having the third fastest air speed and drastically more air acceleration than other characters.

Wario's aerial mobility, in conjunction with his good aerial attacks, greatly aid in Wario's ability to shift direction and speed quickly, making him a good punisher, and camper despite lacking a true projectile. Wario's is also capable of approaching fighters as well as quickly escaping due to his mobility and small stature.

Wario also possesses a good ground game. His grab game is extremely potent, with his down throw being able to chain opponents, and his forward throw dealing 13% damage. Wario's Smash Attacks are extremely powerful due to possessing low startup and end lag and dealing high damage, particularly his Forward Smash.

Wario's Special Moves are highly versatile moves that reflect his unpredictability. Chomp is a quick damage racker and projectile eater that cannot be shielded, giving Wario a good defensive option. Wario Bike is a good approach move, being capable of avoiding most attacks while moving, as well as functioning like a projectile when dismounted. Corkscrew easily traps opponents into multiple hits, and serving as a useful out of shield option. Wario Waft is Wario's most unpredictable move, having low startup and end lag and being capable of KO'ing at 50% as well as giving Wario a massive vertical boost.'

However, Wario is hampered by many flaws. Wario lacks other KO moves outside his Smash Attacks and Wario Waft, and therefore must be careful if they turn stale. Wario's biggest flaw lies in his mediocre range, with other characters with disjointed ranges being more than capable to outclassing him. His recovery is also poor without Wario Bike or Wario Waft, leaving only Corkscrew which goes a mediocre distance. In addition, his Special Moves are held back in some way; Chomp takes longer for large items, Wario Bike is unusable if far away from Wario, Corkscrew goes its aforementioned distance, and Wario Waft requires a long charge time.

Overall, players must remain creative in their approach with Wario, taking advantage of his unpredictable moves and aerial mobility to bait opponents into making moves that can be punished, as well as remain out of reach of other characters with better range.

Taunts

Up: Belly-laughs so hard (as heard by the Wii-mote when selecting Wario), his jaw unhinges, so he has to manually put it back with his hands. If he is holding the back tire of his bike, it looks as if he is biting it.

Side: Accompanied by a "wiggly" sound similar to the one heard while using Corkscrew. Wario wiggles his butt at the screen with his hands extended in each direction, and he teasingly snickers. Wario seems to float as the bottoms of his shoes are touching each other. His shortest taunt.

Down: Wario faces the screen, holds up three fingers with his left hand that seem to form a "W" for Wario, and then does the same with his right hand after putting away his left hand. Then, he holds them both out at the same time. Wario utters "Wah!" three times for each time he holds up a hand, the third "Wah!" having the most enthusiasm.

While riding Wario Bike (in any direction): Wario faces to his right and does his signature "W" sign at the screen with both hands and then picks his nose with his left hand. Another trick considered a taunt is when Wario does a wheelie by gently holding up on the control stick, where he stands on the back of his seat and flaps his right hand based on how fast he is going up and down.

Role in The Subspace Emissary

After Kirby does battle with Petey Piranha to free the princesses, 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; the other will be injured and trapped beneath their wrecked cage. Wario drops heavily into the stadium with a Dark Cannon. Blasting the princess, Wario traps her 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 zoo, dispatching Porky to corner him and weakening him. Porky is defeated by Lucas with the help of Ness, but Wario appears and fires at Ness. Ness dodges all of Wario's cannon shots and learns that Ness is too skilled to get hit. He then fires at Lucas, who was vulnerable, and Ness is shot when he pushes Lucas aside. Wario then takes away Ness, and Lucas runs away in fear.

Upon finding the trophy of Luigi, Wario lets his guard down and picks up the trophy, apparently elated to find the brother of his enemy Mario. Wario is ambushed by Waddle Dees and then loses his trophies to King Dedede, who steals his Cargo. Realizing that he needs to redeem his failure, Wario tracks Lucas and his partner, the Pokémon 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 confronts King Dedede later on the steps to the Great Maze, and he is stunned to see Luigi and Ness beside him. King Dedede, Luigi, and Ness point to the Great Maze to show it to Wario, who thinks that they are pointing to his nose (Wario was standing between King Dedede and the Great Maze). Thus Wario starts to pick his nose. Realising that he can't fight all of them, he instead drives his bike to the top and beats them there. He also aids the heroes in their battle against Tabuu.

Although he works for the Subspace Army, he had no specific allegiance to Master Hand, only following his orders because he enjoyed doing so.

Trivia

Due to his dodgy walking animation, if he is walking backwards on conveyor belts in custom stages, he cannot walk onto another conveyor belt.
Despite Wario Land being an action-based game series, most of Wario's moves don't come from any of his games, but are unique to Brawl, much to the disappointment of many fans.
- Also, despite his crouch in Wario Land shrinking Wario to half his size (for purposes of a platform game), his crouch in Brawl is next to useless.
Wario never blinks. In fact, the only times his eyes are closed are when he is asleep, stunned, or being hit.
Biker Wario's buttons show a W, and underneath it says "Made In". This is a reference to the Japanese name for the WarioWare series, "Made in Wario". Also on the back of his WarioWare outfit, it reads "Hurry Up!".
If Wario is wielding a Hammer/Golden Hammer and stays in one place, he will be floating and swinging instead of standing.
Wario, even though he wields the Home-Run Bat with his hands, swings the bat in his side smash with the bat held in his mouth.
Although Wario still has the same voice actor (Charles Martinet) as in his own games, in Brawl, it is somewhat less cartoonish than in said games - the same applies to Luigi and Mario.
Wario is the only character in Brawl with more than 3 taunts, not counting Smash Taunts.
Wario is the only character to have two poses when selecting him. When he's in his biker outfit, he has his hands in a position of clapping with his mouth open. In his classic overalls, Wario has his arms out while making his signature "W" with his fingers.
Wario is the only character that can ride a vehicle without using a Final Smash.
If Wario hits a static Deku Nut while on his bike, he is launched with enough force to be instantly KO'd.
When Wario picks up a Screw Attack or a Franklin Badge, he wears them on his nose; but when he becomes Wario-Man, he wears them on his shirt.
Wario does not gain any horizontal distance whenever he jumps from a ledge. This means if no directional input is pressed, Wario will simply re-grab the ledge after he falls.

+'''Wario''' ({{ja|ワリオ|Wario}}, ''Wario'') makes his first playable appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He was one of the first newcomers announced at E3 2006 alongside Meta Knight, Pit, Zero Suit Samus, and Snake.
+Wario currently ranks 10th on the [[tier list]] (the second highest ranked sub-series ''Mario'' character) due to his unique attributes as a fighter and unique options for approaching fighters. On the downside, his attacks lack range and his Up Special recovery is mediocre, being one of the worst in the game. However, this has not stopped Wario from achieving high tournament results and good matchups.
-'''Wario''' makes his first playable appearance in ''[[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]], which was highly exaggerated in the trailer by making it a bigger explosion of fart than it is in the actual game, similar to the exaggeration of [[Dimensional Cape]]. Wario moves with a [[Mr. Game & Watch]]-like stop-motion gait (similar to his movement in WarioWare cutscenes).
-Wario currently ranks 10th on the [[tier list]] (the second highest ranked sub-series ''Mario'' character) due to his unique attributes as a fighter (e.g. small size, heavy weight, and great horizontal directional influence), great recovery when all recovery options are present, good approach game, amazing air game/mobility combined with an amazing [[air dodge]], unpredictability, great matchups, very low amount of weaknesses, and his amazing Wario Waft KO move.
 ==Attributes==
+Even by ''Smash Bros.'' standards, Wario is a very unique character. Due to being small and a heavyweight, he is difficult to KO, but he also possesses the best aerial mobility in the game due to having the third fastest air speed and drastically more air acceleration than other characters.
-Wario is a unique, unorthodox addition to the Smash Bros. series. He is a heavy character, so he is hard to KO, but he has amazing mobility in the air, possessing the third-fastest lateral air movement (behind Yoshi and Jigglypuff), arguably the fastest air speed acceleration, almost no loss of speed when changing direction and with a solid set of aerials to go with it. His air speed combined with his great air dodge (both fast and still moves very fast at the same time) allows him to be a great camper despite his lack of a solid projectile. He can even run out the timer against certain slow characters. However, this requires him to take the percent or stock lead to force the opponent to approach. His fast air speed makes up for his slow dash speed and roll. Some of Wario's moves are laggy, but this is not severe, as Wario's overall attack speed isn't bad, especially on his aerials. Wario is one of the few characters in the game that can punish low lag moves, due to his amazing air mobility, often with dair that is also hard to not get punished with. His recovery is deceptively good when all options are available, thanks to his Wario Bike, Wario Waft, and his aerial movement. On the other hand, Wario's recovery is extremely situational, because he can't recover with the Wario Bike if it's lying on the ground, the Wario Waft has to be charged to give Wario good recovery distance, and Corkscrew is a poor recovery move in general, due its mediocre distance and inability to auto-sweetspot the ledge until near the ending of the move.
+Wario's aerial mobility, in conjunction with his good aerial attacks, greatly aid in Wario's ability to shift direction and speed quickly, making him a good punisher, and camper despite lacking a true projectile. Wario's is also capable of approaching fighters as well as quickly escaping due to his mobility and small stature.
-Wario thrives on surprise and deception, and he can vary his approaches like few can. One of Wario's most notable attributes is his size (about the same size as Mario, but a tad wider), which is rather small for a heavyweight (the smallest), meaning he is relatively difficult to hit. Wario can also [[crawl]], although it is not entirely useful for dodging attacks, so it is usually used for landing down-tilts while approaching the character.
+Wario also possesses a good ground game. His grab game is extremely potent, with his down throw being able to chain opponents, and his forward throw dealing 13% damage. Wario's Smash Attacks are extremely powerful due to possessing low startup and end lag and dealing high damage, particularly his Forward Smash.
-Wario boasts one of the best [[Dash attack canceling|Smash Boosts]] in the game, which allows him to cover great distances and string together attacks in a relatively short amount of time, often effective after a [[Chomp]] at lower percentages. His [[DACUS]] is also very useful for  retrieving tires at a distance that he's bounced off the ground. Other abilities include his ability to juggle with his Up aerial, KO opponents at low percentages with his forward smash or even lower with an almost fully charged [[Wario Waft]] which at that point can KO as low as 50% with start-up of only 5 frames, and use Chomp to stop projectiles and interrupt certain moves, many of them powerful, commonly used approaches (e.g. Jigglypuff's Rollout), because Chomp behaves like a grab. Chomp is one of his better moves. It has very fast start-up, goes through any spot dodge due its extreme duration, goes through shields because it's a grab and beats any non-disjointed move and non-invincible moves (certain moves makes him take full damage, but still let him grab the opponent). It can also be reversed (although it cannot be used to change momentum), as well as be used to eat items, and doing so to an explosive makes him take slight damage, but also creates a hitbox that deals decent damage with fairly high knockback. His [[Wario Bike]], when thrown at an enemy, is the only projectile in the game that can spike (with the exception of the pitfall item), and it is quite large (and thus hard to avoid). Because of his limited KO moves, Wario should not use them too much for racking up damage (although they are all very good KO moves when fresh). He has also a very good grab game: his forward throw does 13% damage and also KOs lightweights in the edge at about 150% if they have good Directional Influence. Also, he can [[chain grab]] with his down throw on several characters until high percentages.
+Wario's Special Moves are highly versatile moves that reflect his unpredictability. Chomp is a quick damage racker and projectile eater that cannot be shielded, giving Wario a good defensive option. Wario Bike is a good approach move, being capable of avoiding most attacks while moving, as well as functioning like a projectile when dismounted. Corkscrew easily traps opponents into multiple hits, and serving as a useful out of shield option. Wario Waft is Wario's most unpredictable move, having low startup and end lag and being capable of KO'ing at 50% as well as giving Wario a massive vertical boost.'
-[[File:Slippin on the ice and breaking bones smarts!.jpg|thumb|Despite Wario's powerful speed attributes, he is still prone to frequent slipping and/or vulnerability.]]
-He only has a few main weaknesses. For one, Wario has poor range on his attacks (except his jab, his grab and more noticeably, his Forward Tilt), especially with his smashes, which is not a big problem unless the opponent has long range, priority, and speed like Marth. This is compensated for by his unpredictable and fast approach, and the fact that attacking his motorcycle breaks it up to yield temporary projectiles, which, with his glide toss (and the unusual bouncing properties of the wheels), makes up for his poor range. Another problem, though minor, is that Wario has poor get-up rolls and get-up attacks, making him fairly easy to tech-chase when on the ground. Another problem would be that his unusual jump break animation coming out of a grab leaves him extremely vulnerable to attacks and infinite grab releases; however, to compensate that lag, his dominantly aerial fighting style makes him one of the most difficult characters to grab due to characters being completely safe from grabs in midair. While these issues aren't overly crippling, and not all characters have a grab release option against Wario-including [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]]-and many of those with one have trouble grabbing Wario, a Wario player has to stay very deceptive and slippery to avoid getting nailed by his poor range and getting grabbed by those who have a grab release option on him.
+However, Wario is hampered by many flaws. Wario lacks other KO moves outside his Smash Attacks and Wario Waft, and therefore must be careful if they turn stale. Wario's biggest flaw lies in his mediocre range, with other characters with disjointed ranges being more than capable to outclassing him. His recovery is also poor without Wario Bike or Wario Waft, leaving only Corkscrew which goes a mediocre distance. In addition, his Special Moves are held back in some way; Chomp takes longer for large items, Wario Bike is unusable if far away from Wario, Corkscrew goes its aforementioned distance, and Wario Waft requires a long charge time.
+Overall, players must remain creative in their approach with Wario, taking advantage of his unpredictable moves and aerial mobility to bait opponents into making moves that can be punished, as well as remain out of reach of other characters with better range.

-|F-Smash||Shoulder Ram||colspan="3"|His trademark Dash Attack from the Wario Land games and Wario World. A combination of [[super armour]] and [[Priority#Transcendent priority|transcendent priority]] makes the attack extremely difficult to interrupt; it can only be halted if Wario is grabbed or hit from behind by an attack strong enough to clank with it. Very fast but with poor range and easily punished when shielded, it has long ending lag. Wario runs in place while charging. His 2nd best KO move after Wario Waft. High knockback.||{{DamageWhenCharged|19}}||*||10||12||30||77||0||{{AttackType|body=y}}
-|-
-|rowspan="2"|Nair||rowspan="2"|Wonky Spin||rowspan="2"|Accompanied by a gradually lowering sound of falling, Wario extends his hands and fingers, then spins in place. A quick move to use in the air. Great for spacing and hard to punish. Also great when short hopping with it out of shield. Both hits can connect at very low percentages.||colspan="2"|Clean||9%||40||4||5||30||rowspan="2"|100||rowspan="2"|0||rowspan="2"|{{AttackType|body=y}}

-|rowspan="2"|Fair||rowspan="2"|Drop Kick||rowspan="2"|Sticks his foot a short distance forward. Very short ranged and very little damage, but very high speed, surprisingly strong, high priority and last a long time. Best used for "[[Wall of Pain]]"-style attacking. Can set up a half charged Wario Waft. Has good momentum cancelling, and is also a very useful edgeguarding move.||colspan="2"|Clean||7%||rowspan="2"|*||5||6||20||100||rowspan="2"|0||rowspan="2"|{{AttackType|leg=y}}

-|Bair||Backwards Headbutt||colspan="3"|Throws his head backwards, hitting with it, entire body horizontal. Similar to his forward air only stronger with longer end lag and much longer landing lag. Slightly disjointed hitbox.||10%||*||9||11||20||100||0||{{AttackType|head=y}}
-|-
-|Uair||High Clap||Claps above his head with hands and feet. Very quick start-up, high knockback, can KO easily with low delay. The hitbox covers his whole body, even where he doesn't clap, and has a slight horizontal disjoint. This is a great move to use on floaty characters with poor aerial defense. One of the best up-airs in the game.||colspan="2"|Null||17%||75||8||9||30||80||0||{{AttackType|arm=y}}
-|-
-|rowspan="3"|Dair||rowspan="3"|Body Drill||rowspan="3"|Turns upside down and spins, drilling with his head. Has decent knockback, is very hard to DI out of, and is very effective if used after a short-hop without fast-falling. One of his main damage rackers due how long it lasts and how good it is for shield-stabbing. Can easily combine with other moves like his Forward Smash, Up Aerial, or Chomp if the very last hit does not connect.||rowspan="2"|Hits 1-6||Head||rowspan="2"|2%||110||rowspan="2" colspan="2"|9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19||rowspan="2"|0||rowspan="2"|100||30||rowspan="3"|{{AttackType|head=y}}

-|-
-|F-Throw||Wild Swing-Ding||colspan="3"|Spins the foe around and throws him/her forward. The lighter the character the faster he spins them. The best throw for racking up damage. Usually starts KO at about 150% on lighter characters near the edge with good DI. Identical to Mario and Luigi's back throw, except the spun opponent doesn't hurt other foes.||12%||45||colspan="2"|46||60||65||0||{{AttackType|throwing=y}}

-|rowspan="2"|U-Throw||rowspan="2"|Vertical Chuck||rowspan="2"|Throws them into the air and jumps up, headbutting them. Good against characters with poor air defense/easy to juggle characters. Can lead to rising fully charged Wario Waft against many characters, and also put them in a good position for up-airs.||colspan="2"|Hit 1||4%||*||colspan="2"|24||30||100||0||{{AttackType|head=y}}

-|rowspan="2"|D-Throw||rowspan="2"|Gravity Pound||rowspan="2"|Throws the victim on the ground and sits violently on top of them, who is then knocked behind Wario. Probably based on the ground pound move in Wario Land and Wario World. Wario is capable of chaingrabbing with this, even chain grabbing 0-death on Bowser or 50-death on Falco and Wolf. Can also chain grab certain characters against walls.||colspan="2"|Hit 1||4%||*||22||29||30||100||0||{{AttackType|body=y}}
