| Wario is ranked 40th out of 54 on the tier list. This is an enormous drop from his 10th out of 38 position in ''Brawl'' resulting in his worst placement in the series so far. Wario possesses great aerial mobility and good overall mobility for a heavyweight, with great aerial attacks and a strong ground game to complement the mobility. He has great setups with most of his aerial attacks and his signature [[Wario Bike]], as his aerials have low ending lag and can be used to help him score KOs. Finally, Wario possesses an above-average recovery thanks to Wario Bike granting him an extra jump when he jumps off it and [[Corkscrew]]'s solid vertical distance. | | He retains his biker outfit from the [[Wario (universe)|''WarioWare'']] series, as well as his overalls from the {{uv|Mario}} games. He is voiced by Charles Martinet, who voices the character in all but a few of his appearances, as well as {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Luigi}}, and [[Waluigi]], using the same voice clips from ''Brawl''. |
|
| |
|
| However, Wario also has several glaring flaws, the worst being his reach. As his moves often have poor range and he lacks an effective projectile, Wario has difficulty fighting against characters who have disjoints or a long range, making him susceptible to camping and weak against characters with effective spacing. In addition, most of his KO moves are unreliable, as they are either plagued with high lag or, in the case of [[Wario Waft]], take a while before becoming effective. This means Wario has a worse time KOing compared to other heavyweights, forcing Wario players to rely on deceptions and [[mindgames]] in order to succeed.
| | ==How To Unlock== |
| | |
| Overall, Wario's flaws outweigh his strengths. Although he received some early representation from players such as {{Sm|Abadango}} and {{Sm|TheReflexWonder}}, his representation remained lackluster for most of the game's competitive lifespan, with {{Sm|Glutonny}} being the only notable Wario player performing well at a national level.

| Wario is a short, heavyweight character with a deceptively good air game and an excellent amount of recovery options. Wario boasts the fifth-best [[air speed]] in the game, in addition to well-above-average [[air acceleration]], which grants him some of the best aerial mobility of any character; however, his [[dash]] and [[walk]] speeds leave a lot to be desired, with the former being slightly below average, and the latter being the fifth slowest in the game. Using his high mobility and versatile [[aerial attack]]s, Wario is able to dip in and out of the fray to bait attacks and punish. In spite of its poor speed, Wario has a formidable ground game as well, with many of his attacks being rather fast with setup potential while also dealing good damage, outside of his [[smash attacks]]. | | Wario received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. While his aerial speed and acceleration has been significantly reduced, he has been given multiple improvements to his recovery options to compensate. Many of his moves have extended lag, but deliver much more knockback, such as his new forward smash. Wario's ground game has been improved, with many of his attacks having less start-up lag and the Wario Bike being much stronger and more reliable, although with the bike's inability to break into projectiles, this significantly limits Wario's approach options. Wario's enhanced air game has been re-balanced, with his up and down aerials being less reliable and his forward and back aerials delivering increased knockback. Wario's notorious grab release animation that plagued him in ''Brawl'' has also been fixed for ''SSB4''. |
| | |
| Wario's special moves are very unorthodox, and demand practice to use at their highest potential. [[Chomp]] is one of the best [[command grab]]s in the game, having deceptively long [[range]] and almost no startup or ending [[lag]]. It can effectively cover certain [[edge recovery|edge recoveries]], negate certain attacks such as [[Spinning Kong]], and [[absorb]] many projectiles, often with the benefit of [[healing]] him and slightly increasing the [[charge]] of his [[Wario Waft]]. [[Wario Bike]] gives Wario a solid approach option that covers for his low ground speed, and continues to move forward and hit enemies after he dismounts it. It also respawns very quickly when destroyed or lost, giving him a large and fairly reliable pseudo-projectile which can apply pressure when used effectively. Ending a wheelie with the Wario Bike will cause great knockback to an enemy it hits, as well as dealing a considerable amount of [[shield damage]]. When in the bike, pressing the special or jump buttons will have Wario jump off. As a result, this move can provide Wario with a literal third jump if his double jump had already been used, and this can be further extended with a corkscrew, making Wario's recovery exceedingly above average.
| |
| | |
| Despite his array of unusual attacks, Wario has overall lackluster reach and lacks a true projectile, thus he must first close the distance between him and his opponent in order to land an attack. Because of this, Wario struggles most against characters who make frequent use of disjointed attacks, such as {{SSB4|Shulk}}, {{SSB4|Cloud}}, and {{SSB4|Link}}. This, combined with his relative lack of reliable KO moves, especially compared with other heavyweights, means that Wario must play unpredictably, relying on deception and [[mindgames]] to earn a KO on an unsuspecting opponent, and also forces Wario to trade blows with opponents.
| |
| | |
| Wario's lack of a true projectile brings about his susceptibility to camping. Wario is not capable of reflection, nor is Wario Bike an effective "projectile" on its own, which leaves him with almost no method of reliably counteracting camping, with his aforementioned unimpressive range. As a result, Wario is at a major disadvantage against characters such as Villager, Mega Man, and Samus.
| |
| | |
| With [[Character customization|custom moves]] turned on, Wario gains a number of solid options. Speeding Bike allows for easy follow-ups after a successful hit due to its high speed being able to overtake an opponent who's been launched by it, along with being even better for recovery; however, it can be stuffed by enemy attacks easily due to its low durability. Burying Bike, while offering little for recovery, is extremely durable and can act as an effective shield against projectiles, helping to alleviate Wario's range problems. Rose-Scented Waft, while much weaker than its standard counterpart, possesses a gigantic hitbox that can make it nigh-unavoidable in the hands of a competent player, and can tack on a huge amount of damage if the opponent doesn't commit to [[button mashing]] to shake the flower off. Quick Waft, meanwhile, is decidedly stronger than the Rose-Scented Waft, charges almost four times faster than the standard, and executes faster than the other versions, giving Wario a more readily available KO option in exchange for the massive power of the standard. Corkscrew Leap offers a good deal of extra distance and speed in exchange for the damage of the standard, which leaves Wario more vulnerable during recovery in exchange for allowing him to go deeper for edgeguards than before.
| |
| | |
| Overall, Wario is a capable character with a bevy of unusual, yet useful attacks. However, he must keep his opponent guessing to see his full potential, lest his opponent end up seeing through his strategy.
| |
| | |
| ==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
| |
| Wario received some [[buff]]s that address some of his former flaws in ''Brawl'', but has also received several nerfs that differentiate him significantly from his ''Brawl'' incarnation, nerfing him overall. He has been given multiple improvements to his recovery, being able to use his more versatile Wario Bike to recover more reliably. Many of his attacks deliver much more knockback, such as his new forward smash and the Wario Waft. Wario's ground game has been slightly improved, with many of his attacks having less start-up lag and the Wario Bike being much stronger and more reliable. Once dismounted, the Wario Bike is now equipped with traveling hitboxes, granting Wario an armored projectile of sorts. Wario's poorer aerials have been improved, with his forward and back aerials delivering increased knockback. Some moves also have less endlag, such as his down tilt.
| |
| | |
| Despite many of these changes being beneficial to Wario, he has received heavy nerfs to many of his previously effective options. One of the more noticeable nerfs was the reduction of his air speed and more significantly, his air acceleration. Wario has a harder time weaving in and out of the air and with the cast generally having increased range as well as the introduction of many sword characters, it is easier for multiple characters to wall him out in the air. He also is significantly harmed by the removal of [[DACUS]] as it hinders his grounded approach and removes his Gatling Combo preventing him from making great use of his newly improved up smash. Although some of his moves have less ending lag, others have much more, such as his forward smash, which is much less consistent due to now being slower and lacking transcendent priority and armor. Some of Wario's moves also have had their KO potential reduced most notably his up aerial and his half charged Wario Waft. Wario Bike has also lost some of its utility as its tires can no longer be picked up and used as projectiles.
| |
| | |
| The changes to ''Smash 4'''s mechanics helped and hindered Wario in various ways. Being a heavy character, Wario does gain some benefit from the [[rage]] mechanic present in ''Smash 4'', being able to deliver increased knockback when at a high percentage. However, without his arsenal of moves that could reliably KO, Wario's reliance on racking up an opponent's damage leaves him even more vulnerable to the increased knockback delivered by adversaries under the influence of rage. He benefits from the removal of edgehogging, as it makes [[Corkscrew]] a much more advantageous recovery option. Wario also significantly benefits from the changes to aerial [[grab release]] mechanics as he can act out sooner from an aerial grab release preventing almost all followups his opponents used to have on him. In addition to this, Wario's notorious grab release that plagued him in ''Brawl'' was also fixed in patch 1.0.4 although even before the patch, his grab release was significantly less exploitable by most characters than in ''Brawl'' due to the new grab release mechanics.
| |
| | |
| As for the nerfs he received from the mechanics, the aforementioned removal of DACUS hinders his ground game. While he was not the most prominent user of DACUS in Brawl due to his up smash being rather poor, it nevertheless harms him in ''Smash 4'' especially with the change to his up smash. The changes to [[hitstun canceling]] are also not highly beneficial to him as the removal of [[momentum canceling]] hinders his endurance and while it does improve his combo potential, it also makes him significantly easier to combo especially when combined with his higher falling speed.
| |
| | |
| Overall, Wario is a noticeably less effective character than in ''Brawl''.

| ==Update history==
| |
| Wario has only received very minor buffs in the game's updates. The only real significant buff he received was in [[1.0.4]], which fixed his notorious [[grab release]] which allowed multiple characters to combo him out of a release. Changes to the shield mechanics in [[1.1.0]] and [[1.1.1]], however, seem to favor Wario slightly due to the high [[hitlag]] his attacks have when mounting the bike.

| |dashdesc=Wario dives to the ground and slides forward. Hits longer than one might expect it to. An early hit sends the opponent upwards with moderate knockback, while a late hit sends opponents behind Wario, and allows for unique setups and KO combos due to it being guaranteed to trip while [[lock]]ing floored opponents, which can set up into an attack, grab or even [[Wario Waft]] if timed properly. | | |dashdesc=Wario dives to the ground and slides forward. |

| |fsmashdesc=Wario winds back greatly with his fist, and delivers an enormous backhanded punch. Has about the same range as his forward tilt. Has high endlag and the slowest startup of Wario's smash attacks, but is extremely powerful, KOing as early as 75% at the edge. | | |fsmashdesc=Wario winds back greatly with his fist, and delivers an enormous backhanded punch. |

| |usmashdesc=Wario performs a headbutt forwards. Deals more damage if it hits during the first two frames, being able to KO at around 111%. Weirdly, the attack is only interruptible once Wario stands normally again. Wario's head is intangible while the hitboxes are out. Might be based on the third hit of his basic attack combo in ''Wario World''. | | |usmashdesc=Wario performs a hard-hitting headbutt. Deals more damage if he hits opponents in the first two frames. |

| |dsmashdesc=Spins on the ground thrice, bashing foes with his head. The move consists of three hits, though it is only able to hit opponents once due to how its hitbox is coded. Each hit is a semi-spike, with the first hit being able to KO at around 122%; subsequent hits are much weaker. Quick startup, but it has the highest endlag of Wario's smash attacks. | | |dsmashdesc=Spins on the ground, bashing foes with his head.

| |nairdesc=Wario inflates his belly and spins in the air with his arms and legs spread wide. Very fast startup at frame 4 and with only 12 frames of ending lag after the hitboxes cease. Despite it resembling a [[sex kick]] due to having a long duration alongside clean and late hits, the attack actually has two separate hitboxes that act independently from each other. As a result, both hits can combo into each other at low percents. The late hit can lead into another aerial and even [[Wario Waft]]. However, the first hit only lasts one frame. | | |nairdesc=Wario spins in the air and crashes down with his arms and legs spread wide. |

| |fairdesc=A quick kick forwards. The first few frames do more damage and knockback. Very low knockback, but starts up very fast (frame 5), making it useful for [[gimp]]ing or escaping pressure. The late hit can [[lock]] and also combos easily into other aerials at low percents, including [[Chomp]] if an opponent is about to land. Autocancels if used immediately after a short-hop. | | |fairdesc=Wario poses and kicks his foot out in the air. |
| |bairname=Falling Headbutt ({{ja|たおれずつき|Taore Zutsuki}}) | | |bairname= |
| |bairdmg=12% | | |bairdmg=12% |
| |bairdesc=Wario thrusts his head backwards in mid-air. It is his strongest aerial knockback-wise, KOing at 124% at the edge. Also has relatively low startup and sends at a semi-spike angle. However, its hitbox does not last long and only follows the top of Wario's head, making it possible to miss if an opponent touches the rest of his body. Autocancels if used immediately after a short-hop. | | |bairdesc=Wario thrusts his head backwards in mid-air. |
| |uairname=Hand Slap ({{ja|ハンドパッチン|Hando Patchin}}) | | |uairname= |
| |uairdmg=13% | | |uairdmg=13% |
| |uairdesc=Wario claps his arms and feet together in mid-air. His strongest aerial damage-wise with the best vertical knockback as well, although its knockback is rather lacking when compared to the version in ''Brawl''. Using it after a fastfall can lead into an aerial and Wario Waft until high percents. At very high percents, the headbutt of a mid/fully-charged Waft can also connect. | | |uairdesc=Wario claps his arms and feet together in mid-air. |
| |dairname=Upside-Down Headbutt ({{ja|さかさまずつき|Sakasama Zutsuki}}) | | |dairname= |
| |dairdmg=1.3% (hits 1-6), 4% (hit 7) | | |dairdmg=11% |
| |dairdesc=Wario turns upside down and spins, drilling with his head. Unusually for such aerial attacks, the last hit has powerful diagonal knockback that can KO at high percents. When landing with it before the final hit, it can lead into a half waft if Wario has enough rage. If done out of a full hop, Wario can cover his landing with a neutral/forward air or special moves. | | |dairdesc=Wario turns upside down and spins, drilling with his head. |
| |grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}}) | | |grabname= |
| |grabdesc=Grabs his opponents with his left hand. Wario's grab range is above average. | | |grabdesc=Wario's grab range is above average. |

| |fthrowdmg=12% | | |fthrowdmg=12% |
| |fthrowdesc=Sends the opponent forward with his posterior while posing. Wario's strongest throw, KOing Mario at 152% at the edge. | | |fthrowdesc=Wario hits them forward with his butt while posing. |
| |bthrowname=Giant Swing ({{ja|ジャイアントスイング|Jaianto Suingu}}) | | |bthrowname= |
| |bthrowdmg=7% (throw), 8% (collateral) | | |bthrowdmg=7%, 8% on others who touch the opponent being spun |
| |bthrowdesc=Spins the foe around thrice and throws them behind himself, damaging those who come in contact with the spin. Based on the {{s|mariowiki|Wild Swing-Ding}} from ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario World}}''. | | |bthrowdesc=Spins the foe around and throws him/her forward, damages those who come in contact with the spin. |
| |uthrowname=Double Punch ({{ja|ダブルパンチ|Daburu Panchi}}) | | |uthrowname= |
| |uthrowdmg=4% (hit 1), 7% (throw) | | |uthrowdmg=11% |
| |uthrowdesc=Wario tosses the opponent up and punches them upwards in a strongman pose. | | |uthrowdesc=Wario tosses the opponent up and bumps them with both his fists. |
| |dthrowname=Butt Press ({{ja|しりプレス|Shiri Puresu}}) | | |dthrowname= |
| |dthrowdmg=4% (hit 1), 4% (throw) | | |dthrowdmg=8% |
| |dthrowdesc=Throws the victim on the ground and sits violently on top of them. Hits the opponent at a low angle behind Wario, which can set up a dash attack or a Wario Bike at low percents. Possibly based on the ground pound move from ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario Land}}'' and ''Wario World''. Has incredibly low base knockback, and even lower knockback growth, having no KO potential whatsoever. | | |dthrowdesc=Throws the victim on the ground and sits violently on top of them. |

| |nsdefname=Chomp | | |nsdefname=Chomp |
| |nsdefdmg=2% (each bite), 5% (throw) | | |nsdefdmg=2% for each bite, 5% for throw |
| |nsdefdesc=Wario bites forward, chewing on any opponents who are caught. Has deceptively long range and very fast startup for a command grab. Like normal grabs, opponents can escape faster by being at a lower percent or button mashing. Once grabbing someone there is no way to cancel the move prematurely. It can be used to consume items, activating them instantly if possible and healing 1% damage. Eating explosives will cause them to blow up inside of Wario, dealing 5% self-damage and 13% damage to nearby foes. [[Food]] and [[Maxim Tomato]]es consumed with Chomp heal 1.5x more damage than normal. Consuming anything shortens the charge time for the Wario Waft. This is the only special move Wario has that doesn't help him recover in some way. | | |nsdefdesc=Wario bites forward, chewing on any opponents who are caught. It can be used to consume items, healing 1% damage. Eating explosives will cause them to blow up inside of Wario, but the explosion will damage nearby foes. Healing items consumed with Chomp heal 1.5x more damage than normal. All of the above shorten the charge time for the Wario Waft. |
| |nsc1name=Inhaling Chomp | | |nsc1name=Inhaling Chomp |
| |nsc1dmg=2% (each bite), 4% (throw) | | |nsc1dmg=2% for each bite, 4% for throw |
| |nsc1desc=Behaves like Wario's regular Chomp but with a suction effect. The throw does slightly less damage and the bite is also significantly slower. Most likely based on {{s|mariowiki|Hyper Suction}}, a move Wario could perform in ''Wario World''. | | |nsc1desc=Behaves like Wario's regular Chomp but with a suction effect. The throw does slightly less damage. |
| |nsc2name=Garlic Breath | | |nsc2name=Garlic Breath |
| |nsc2dmg=6% | | |nsc2dmg=6% |
| |nsc2desc=Wario exhales garlic breath at his opponent. If they are next to Wario, they will be stunned as if their shield was broken allowing for a follow-up attack. Farther opponents get knocked away and tripped. This all comes with the cost of higher startup, significantly higher ending lag, and being unable to eat items or players. | | |nsc2desc=Long startup, but Wario exhales bad breath at his opponent. If they are next to Wario, they will be stunned as if their shield was broken. Farther opponents get knocked away and tripped. |
| |ssdefname=Wario Bike | | |ssdefname=Wario Bike |
| |ssdefdmg=1%-10% (ram, varies depending on acceleration and timing, full speed consistently deals 10%), 8% (wheelie beginning, can combo with ram), 5% (wheelie), 13% (wheelie ground slam), 7% (turn), 3% (turn late, can hit twice) | | |ssdefdmg=10% (damage varies on wheelie, turning, and slamming) |
| |ssdefdesc=Wario mounts his trademark Wario Bike to run over his opponents. During this period, Wario gains [[knockback]]-based [[armor]], taking up to 20 KB. The bike can withstand 18% before breaking. Tilting the opposite direction will make him turn around, dealing more damage if the opponents are slammed by the back tire. Holding up will produce a wheelie at full speed, and pressing down during a wheelie makes the bike perform an extremely powerful ground slam, but this leaves Wario defenseless until it ends. Lastly, when Wario dismounts the bike, he can destroy it, throw it at opponents, or eat it with Chomp. In the air, the bike gives a small initial vertical hop along with a free jump via dismounting it. If the bike is on or offscreen, but not destroyed, Wario cannot summon another bike. If the player tries to do so, it will trigger an animation where Wario looks around searching for it. Wario can also ride anyone else's Wario Bike, but will only use his own equipped custom variant of the move. | | |ssdefdesc=Wario mounts his trademark Wario Bike and runs over his rivals. Tilting the opposite direction will make him turn around, dealing more damage if the opponents are slammed by the back tire. Holding up will produce a wheelie, another powerful attack, but will leave Wario defenseless until it ends. Lastly, when Wario dismounts the bike, he can destroy it, throw it at opponents, or eat it with Chomp. |
| |ssc1name=Speeding Bike | | |ssc1name=Speeding Bike |
| |ssc1dmg=1%-8% (ram, varies depending on acceleration and timing, full speed consistently deals 8%), 6% (wheelie beginning, can combo with ram), 5% (wheelie), 10% (wheelie ground slam) | | |ssc1dmg=8% |
| |ssc1desc=Wario's bike is much faster, therefore covering even more horizontal distance, but it cannot turn around at all. Very fragile, only being to withstand 5% before breaking. Due to the sheer speed, landing wheelie slams may prove harder, along with them being slightly weaker. | | |ssc1desc=Wario's bike is super fast, but it cannot turn around. Does more damage head on than wheelieing. |
| |ssc2name=Burying Bike | | |ssc2name=Burying Bike |
| |ssc2dmg=2-8% (ram, varies depending on acceleration and timing, full speed consistently deals 8%), 8% (wheelie beginning, can combo with ram), 5% (wheelie), 10% (wheelie ground slam), 7% (turn), 3% (turn late, can hit twice) | | |ssc2dmg=8% |
| |ssc2desc=Wario's bike moves slower but [[buries]] opponents. If used in the air it will just fall, so it can't be used to recover, along with Wario's leap being smaller. Incredibly durable, being able to withstand 40% before breaking. Because of its lower top speed, wheelies cover less distance. | | |ssc2desc=Wario's bike moves slowly but does increased damage and buries opponents. Has a special animation if Wario performs a wheelie. |
| |usdefname=Corkscrew | | |usdefname=Corkscrew |
| |usdefdmg=5% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-5), 4% (final hit) | | |usdefdmg=13% |
| |usdefdesc=Wario spin-jumps into the air, hitting enemies multiple times. The final hit has good diagonal knockback, though it is relatively easy to DI out of. The move can be steered left or right. | | |usdefdesc=Wario spin-jumps into the air, hitting enemies multiple times. The move can be steered left or right. |
| |usc1name=Widescrew | | |usc1name=Widescrew |
| |usc1dmg=3% (hit 1), 0.5% (hits 2-5), 4% (final hit) | | |usc1dmg=9% |
| |usc1desc=Wario can control the angle of his up special, including nearly horizontally. However, it grants virtually no vertical distance unless aimed straight up. | | |usc1desc=Wario can control the angle of his up special. It can go nearly horizontally. It has much less distance than the default, though. |
| |usc2name=Corkscrew Leap | | |usc2name=Corkscrew Leap |
| |usc2dmg=0% | | |usc2dmg=0% |
| |usc2desc=Wario jumps higher at the cost of not dealing any damage. The jump is purely vertical and the player is only able to steer Wario once he reaches the apex of the jump. | | |usc2desc=Wario jumps extremely high. This deals no damage. |
| |dsdefname=Wario Waft | | |dsdefname=Wario Waft |
| |dsdefdmg=0% (no charge), 14% (minor charge), 27% (moderate charge), 27% (maximum charge) | | |dsdefdmg=27% (maximum charged) |
| |dsdefdesc=A fart that grows in power the longer it is unused, and its charge cannot be lost in any way except using the move, and the charge is lost if the move is interrupted. The charge can be accelerated by Chomping items. There are 4 levels of charge, all with varying effects: at no charge, the waft will always trip opponents but deals no damage and is the slowest waft (frame 16), the second level is the second slowest (frame 10), the third level (half-charged) is the fastest (frame 5) and has good KO potential, and the fully charged waft gains increased knockback, a huge hitbox, [[armor]] (frame 5-10), and sends Wario flying upwards with a headbutt that has equally powerful KO potential to go with respectable recovery. Takes ~110 seconds (not including eating) to fully charge. | | |dsdefdesc=Wario unleashes a gigantic fart on his foes. The move charges by not using it over time, which can be accelerated by Chomping items. There are 4 levels of charge, all with varying effects. |
| |dsc1name=Rose-Scented Waft | | |dsc1name=Rose-Scented Waft |
| |dsc1dmg=6% (no charge), 12% (minor charge), 17% (moderate charge), 21% (maximum charge) | | |dsc1dmg=24% (maximum charged) |
| |dsc1desc=Wario lets out a pink-colored fart that puts a flower on the opponent's head, similar to {{SSB4|Jigglypuff}}'s [[Rest]] or the [[Lip's Stick]] item. The waft deals less damage and knockback, but the move charges faster (~70 seconds without eating), has a gigantic hitbox, and the flower racks up damage quickly. | | |dsc1desc=Wario's waft puts a flower on his opponent. Has little knockback, but the flower racks up damage fast. |
| |dsc2name=Quick Waft | | |dsc2name=Quick Waft |
| |dsc2dmg=2% (no charge), 5%-6% (minor charge), 13% (moderate charge), 18% (maximum charged) | | |dsc2dmg=18% (maximum charged) |
| |dsc2desc=Wario's fart charges even faster (~30 seconds without eating), and he does damage as he rises into the air. Less damage and knockback than the regular waft, and doesn't go as high. | | |dsc2desc=Wario's fart charges faster and he does damage as he rises into the air. Less damage and knockback than the regular waft. |
| |fsname=Wario-Man | | |fsname=Wario-Man |
| |fsdmg=Varies | | |fsdmg=Varies |
| |fsdesc=Wario eats a garlic bulb and transforms into Wario-Man. While he's transformed, Wario-Man gains invincibility and drastically amplified agility and strength. Distinct from other transformation final smashes in that his moves have significantly less end lag and his aerials grant him infinite recovery, with the exception of down air. His down throw meteor smashes when used on a ledge, and his specials are boosted to the extreme, particularly his Wario Bike and Wario Waft. However, taking damage will reduce the time this Final Smash lasts. If he summons his bike while transformed, it will vanish when he returns to normal form. | | |fsdesc=Wario eats a garlic clove and transforms into Wario-Man. While he's transformed, Wario-Man has permanent super armor, launch resistance, and drastically amplified agility and strength. His aerials grant him infinite recovery, his down throw meteor smashes when used on a ledge, and his specials are boosted to the extreme, particularly his Wario Bike and Wario Waft. However, taking damage will reduce the time this Final Smash lasts. |

|
| *{{Sm|Abadango|Japan}} - Although he primarily played {{SSB4|Pac-Man}} in the early metagame, Abadango was also considered one of the best Wario players during this time, placing 2nd at {{Trn|Umebura 12}} and 4th at {{Trn|EVO 2015}} with Wario in his lineup and defeating {{Sm|Dabuz}} in the latter event. He dropped Wario after EVO 2015.
| | <center> |
| *{{Sm|Glutonny|France}} - The best Wario player of all-time, and Wario's primary representative for all of ''Smash 4'', including being the only Wario player ranked on the [[PGR 100|all-time ranking]], ranking 70th. He broke out onto the ''Smash 4'' scene after defeating {{Sm|kameme}} and {{Sm|ANTi}} to place 3rd at {{Trn|Smashdown World}}, and has since became the second-most successful European player after {{Sm|Mr.R}}, winning many European events and having strong international performances such as 3rd at {{Trn|Glitch 5}} and 13th at {{Trn|Get On My Level 2018}}.
| | <gallery> |
| *{{Sm|Nasubi|Japan}} - The second-most successful Wario player in Japan after Abadango, especially with his performances between 2015 and the first half of 2016, which includes placing 2nd at {{Trn|Sumabato 9}} over {{Sm|Earth}}, {{Sm|Atelier}}, and {{Sm|Rizeasu}}; 5th at {{Trn|KSB 2016}}; and 7th at {{Trn|Umebura 15}}. His results declined since then, and he eventually dropped Wario.
| | WarioTrophy3DS.png|Classic |
| *{{Sm|Reflex|USA}} - The best solo-Wario player in the early metagame, most known for his 5th-place finish at {{Trn|MLG World Finals 2015}} defeating {{Sm|false}} and {{Sm|Ryo}}, which was the only top 8 major placement for a solo-Wario player. Although he has performed well at many other major events since then, including placing 17th at {{Trn|CEO 2016}} and defeating {{Sm|Wrath}} at {{Trn|The Big House 6}}, his tournament activity remained low, and he eventually stopped competing by mid-2017.
| | WarioAllStarTrophy3DS.png|Alt. |
| *{{Sm|Waymas|Mexico}} - Best known for his run to 4th at {{Trn|Smash Factor 4}}, which established him as one of Mexico's best players in the early metagame. Since then, he has regularly placed well at large Mexican events, including 5th at {{Trn|ConComics April 2018}} and 13th at {{Trn|Smash Factor 6}}, but mostly remained a hidden boss, with lukewarm results outside of Mexico.

| ===Tier placement and history===

| Wario was at first considered to be a character around the same potency as in the ''Brawl'' metagame, with players considering the changes to the game's physics to have benefited him, which was initially supported by the addition of [[rage]] improving his KO potential, while some of his finishing moves were buffed themselves. Despite his below-average playerbase, players such as {{Sm|Abadango}}, {{Sm|Glutonny}} and {{Sm|TheReflexWonder}} demonstrated his capabilities in competitive play by adapting to a more deceptive playstyle through skillful use of [[Wario Bike]]. Even so, players would soon realize he had also lost the great potency on his aerial game, now being just slightly above average. His well-regarded status would also drop after Abadango dropped him in favor of {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}. Regardless, and after an extremely solid 5th place at {{Trn|MLG World Finals 2015}} from Reflex, Wario was eventually placed at 21st on the first ''4BR'' tier list.

| However, Wario's tournament representation and results have remained rather scarce, in particular due to the majority of the mid- and low-tiered characters eventually outperforming him in several tournaments, and the changes to the game's physics having also demonstrated they had reduced a lot of his potency at camping, to the point that he had to rely much more on baiting and KOing a careless opponent with his more powerful, albeit slower moves. Eventually, Wario dropped to 34th place on the second tier list before slightly dropping to 36th on the third tier list. While Glutonny's dominance and great placings throughout Europe remained consistent towards the end of the game’s lifespan, Wario's difficult matchups against common top-tiers like {{SSB4|Sonic}} and {{SSB4|Cloud}} remained extremely prominent in hindering other Wario players from advancing in bracket, and Reflex’s inactivity slowed Wario’s metagame development. As a result, he has dropped to 40th on the fourth and final tier list.

| *Prior to ''[[Ultimate]]'', Wario was the only character who [[Wario (SSBB)|debuted as a starter]] to be made unlockable in a later game. | | * Wario is the only character that [[Wario (SSBB)|debuted as a starter]] to be made unlockable in a later game. |
| **Similarly, [[Lucas]] [[Lucas (SSBB)|was a starter character]] in ''Brawl'', but became a downloadable character in ''SSB4''. Coincidentally, both Lucas and Wario were newcomers in ''Brawl''. | | * With the removal of the [[mariowiki:Dash Attack|Shoulder Bash]] as his forward smash, Wario's moveset in ''SSB4'' no longer references the ''Wario Land'' series. |
| *Since Wario is part of Luigi's Final Smash trophy, Wario can be seen in the game before he is even unlocked. | | * He is the only character to have fewer [[alternate costume]]s in ''SSB4'' than in ''Brawl'' (going from 12 options to 8 options). |
| *Wario is the only character with fewer {{SSB4|alternate costume}}s in ''SSB4'' than in ''Brawl'', going from 12 to 8 options.
| | ** He also uses the same pose for both costumes, as opposed to ''Brawl'' where both costumes had different poses. |
| *Wario's All-Star trophy in the 3DS version resembles his artwork for ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64 DS}}''. | | * Wario's All-Star trophy in the 3DS version resembles his ''Super Mario 64 DS'' artwork. |
| *Wario is the only character with a fourth taunt, which is done by taunting while riding the [[Wario Bike]] (even when in the air), as well as one of two characters that can taunt while using a special move, with the other being {{SSB4|Greninja}} while doing [[Shadow Sneak]]. | | *Wario is one of the only five veterans not to appear in {{forwiiu}}'s [[opening movie]], the other four being {{SSB4|Falco}}, {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSB4|R.O.B.}} and {{SSB4|Dr. Mario}}. All of these characters are unlockables. |
| *Humorously, Wario swings the [[Home-Run Bat]] by holding it in his mouth like a dog, while the {{SSB4|Duck Hunt}} dog swings it like a human being would, even standing on two legs while doing so.
| | *Wario is the only character in the game to be able to taunt while using a special move. |
| *Although Wario's default palette has him wearing his jacket, the only defensive [[equipment]] he can use are Badges and Overalls. It is unknown why he cannot use both, as {{SSB4|Charizard}} uses three different types of Attack equipment.
| |
| *''SSB4'' is the only game where Wario's trademark [[mariowiki:Dash Attack|shoulder bash]] is not in his moveset. | |
| **In a reply to a letter from a reader in his [http://sourcegaming.info/2016/01/27/sakurais-famitsu-column-vol-498-letters-from-the-readers-44/ Famitsu Column], [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that he decided to replace Wario's forward smash with a backhanded punch to make him stronger.
| |
| *A glitch exists in the 3DS version, where if the player quits the game right before Wario-Man transforms back into Wario, then Wario will be completely black during his No Contest animation. If one executes it properly, then the sound clip of Wario Man groaning as he transforms back into Wario should play as the screen moves onto the No Contest screen.
