Waluigi: The Man Behind the Memes - Challenger Approaching

For details on how characters' stats compare, check here: https://ultimateframedata.com/stats.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to another episode of Challenger Approaching! In this series, we discuss characters who could find their way into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or future entries, then go into ludicrous detail on what they would be like if they joined the fight for real! This time, we're covering someone who needs no introduction. A notable figure from the most celebrated franchise in gaming, Waluigi is always a major point in Smash speculation...until he turns out to be an Assist Trophy, something we've seen three times now and counting. But despite always being overshadowed by his peers from the Mushroom Kingdom, he's managed a steady support base with each new Smash game. Though it becomes difficult to tell who among them is genuinely interested in the guy, who merely believes the Mario side of the roster is incomplete without him, and who is just there to follow all the memes, there is always an audience ready to entertain the idea that he might make the jump from summon to playable one day. So, what if that did happen? Whether as part of Ultimate's DLC, or as part of a future Smash game? Let's see just how Waluigi's array of abilities and appearances, and what we know of his personality and motivations, could help him stand out as a unique fighter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow on Twitter at:   / delzethin   Support via Patreon at:   / delzethin   Graphic design by Voyager:   / fire_voyager   Post-production assistance by Yoshiller:   / realyoshiller   Additional Sources: Ridley “Assists” in Counting the Smash Ballot (Dragonith): https://www.deviantart.com/dragonith/...
