I like Waluigi but I've never played Smash Bros before.

yes, wario is a fun character people want more of that. it would be inappropriate to make waluigi not also fun and silly.

this creates an enormous design challenge. this can be used to feed hype and market the series, simply because it is difficult to do.

They just want to smash waluigi.

That is an interesting point.

This question gave me a moment to reflect on the fact that my Nintendo phase was pre-Waluigi, and so I have no familiarity with the character, and therefore, I have no imagination for Waluigi.

One must ask oneself, "what is Waluigi?" And, seeing the internet, it is clear: the answer is uncertain.

Crazy how this became philosophical

Well, in a more grounded sense people got MAD about fighting Wario. They started to associate intense negativity with the brand.

Waluigi would be wasted on such a thing. So he has to be fun to play and fun to fight against, and that's generally considered a secondary or tertiary consideration. Which is sad.

For instance Yoshimitsu became split between fun and effective, primarily by assigning him limits and granting everyone else kit gaps. Pretty sad.

Smash has a lot of kit gaps, and in many ways the game is about making up for those gaps. It's a bomb waiting to happen.

Waluigi is the definition of aura

i mean, who doesn't wanna smash waluigi?
