Despite these strengths, Wario has several weaknesses that hold him back. The most notable weakness is his poor [[neutral game]]: his relatively short range and lack of projectiles make him vulnerable towards characters that can overwhelm, juggle, or outrange him. In addition, Wario's best KO options all have their drawbacks: his forward tilt, back air, and all his smash attacks have either high end lag or slow startup while dash attack has noticeable sourspots. Finally, whiffing Waft means Wario loses his best comeback factor, as it can take a bit to even get to half-Waft. | Despite these strengths, Wario has several weaknesses that hold him back.

Overall, Wario's strengths largely overshadow his weaknesses. Although very popular in the early metagame, subsequent nerfs via patch updates shrank his playerbase at a top level. However, he remained a viable character with decent representation, in particular amassing consistently high results from {{Sm|Glutonny}} | Overall, Wario's strengths largely overshadow his weaknesses.

When landing with it before the final hit, it can often lead to a half waft, albeit not on heavier characters due to lack of hitstun. If the move fails to connect into the subsequent hits, it can also weakly [[meteor smash]] the opponent, although it cannot get stronger due to its set knockback.

In addition, Wario greatly benefited from having a frame 3 jumpsquat as he can now make more use out of his air game. Finally, Wario's waft became notorious as a comeback mechanic for closing out stocks when in a dire or last stock situation, and there were several moves that could set up to it at early-to-mid percents. As such, Wario was widely considered one of the best characters in the early metagame, with many players ranking the character among the top 5. Wario's representation was also rather large at a national level; notably, four different players had won a major using Wario in crucial sets during this period. These players include {{Sm|Tweek}} and {{Sm|Glutonny}}, who were two of the best players in the world during this period. | ||
Nerfs to Wario's up tilt and | Nerfs to Wario's up tilt and waft hindered several of his setups into Waft, making it harder to hit compared to before. In addition, metagame shifts were also less favorable towards Wario as more characters with an oppressive gameplan became more common in competitive play. The nerfs and metagame shifts led to a noticeable decline in Wario's top level representation as many of his veteran players dropped the character, most notably Tweek. In addition, although Glutonny remained a strong player, his results within the next several months after the nerfs were less dominant than before. As such, Wario's position in the metagame began to fall as the community agreed that Wario, while still a great character, was not as strong as he once was. This was reflected in Wario's current standing on the tier list, where he is ranked 20th out of 82. | ||
Wario's placement was not without detractors. Many players pointed out how Glutonny's performances following his slump, which have been just as good if not better than his earlier results, prove Wario's nerfs were not as severe as once perceived. In addition, newer Wario players also rose into the spotlight, most notably {{Sm|Huto}} in Japan, {{Sm|loaf}} in North America, and {{Sm|crêpe salée}} in Europe. These players kept Wario's representation strong, albeit not as dominant as the early metagame. These positive developments have since led many in the community to believe Wario is underrated in the current metagame and should still be ranked as a top tier. | |||
