| '''Wario Waft''' ({{ja|ワリオっぺ|Warioppe}}, ''Wario Fart'') is [[Wario]]'s [[down special move]], which makes use of his flatulence to attack opponents. The move was first revealed in the E3 2006 trailer for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', albeit with Wario creating a much larger explosion than what can be performed in the games. | | [[File:wariowaft.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Wario Waft in ''Brawl''.]] |
| | The '''Wario Waft''' ({{ja|ワリオっぺ}}, ''Warioppe''), commonly known as the '''Fart''', is [[Wario]]'s [[down special move]], which makes use of his flatulence to attack opponents. It becomes more powerful as time passes, ranging from a tiny "poot" to a massive explosion (which has high knockback and damage). At half-charge, it is his fastest and strongest KO move, activating in only 3 frames when half-charged, which is incredibly fast for a very powerful move. It was first revealed in the E3 2006 trailer for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', albeit with it creating a much larger explosion than the one in the game. It takes nearly 1 minute and 50 seconds for it to charge completely, with a full charge indicated by Wario flashing orange. Wario Waft is one of only two chargeable attacks whose charge is retained even after the user is KO'd, the other one being [[Oil Panic]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview==
| | A fully charged Wario Waft does 42% damage (40% plus 2% for being [[fresh]]) and rockets him high into the air with nearly unrivaled altitude. However, it's possible to [[self-destruct]] if Wario flies across the top [[blast line]] when performing this move with a full charge. As [[Wario-Man]], it deals 50% damage if fully charged, and even when it is not at full charge it can [[One-Hit KO]]. Even if Wario doesn't connect with a fully-charged blast, he can still run into characters while being launched to deal approximately half damage and strong vertical knockback. It works well after an up throw set up or as an edgeguarding attack. In addition, a fully charged Wario Waft also has [[launch resistance]]. |
| Wario Waft is an attack which automatically charges as a match goes on. When Wario uses his down special, he will fart, with his fart becoming more powerful the more time it has had to charge, ranging from a tiny "poot" to a massive explosion (which has high knockback and damage). The move has four stages and Wario's stomach grows as the move charges. If Wario eats using his [[Chomp]], it will make his Waft charge faster. Like [[Oil Panic]], this is one of the few chargeable moves where the charge is retained after the user is KOed. | |
|
| |
|
| At minimum charge, Wario performs a small fart. The fart will [[trip]] any opponent it hits, although it deals no damage and it has very high ending lag, as Wario will scratch his head while looking at the screen sheepishly. This makes it almost completely useless to use, especially within a 1v1 match.
| | In [[SSB4]], the Wario Waft retains most of its properties, however damage and knockback from the fully charge variant has been altered. The maximum charged Waft now deals 27% damage as apposed to 42%, but now possesses far more knockback, being able to KO characters from the center of the stage at just 60%. The charge time can also be decreased by eating [[item]]s with [[Chomp]]. |
|
| |
|
| After 15 seconds, Waft reaches its second stage. Wario performs a bigger fart which damages nearby opponents. The move is faster than a Waft with no charge although it is still quite weak and it is overall mostly useless. The move's damage also additionally scales as time goes on, making it stronger the longer Wario waits to use it.

| | Wario's weakest "poot" deals no damage, but it does [[Tripping|knock foes off their feet]], and if performed as [[Wario-Man]] it [[stun]]s opponents. |
|
| |
|
| After 55 seconds, Waft reaches its third stage. Wario performs a bigger, faster and stronger fart, which propels him upwards. It is his fastest fart, having lower startup and ending lag than his other farts. It also has solid KO potential and its damage scales over time, potentially making it even stronger.

| At a full charge (110 seconds), Wario starts flashing orange and Waft reaches its fourth and final stage. Wario performs his largest and most damaging fart which propels him very high upwards. The move comes out more slowly than a half charged waft, although the move has super [[armor]] on startup and Wario himself has a powerful hitbox while he is rising. It is also his most powerful Waft starting from ''Smash 4'', giving Wario players an incentive to fully charge his Waft. While the move does grant Wario a lot of height, Wario has no protection from the upper blast zone, resulting in him being KOed if he Wafts too close to the blastzone; however, this is only a major issue in ''Brawl''. The height received also allows the move to be used as a [[recovery]] option, though using it as such is risky due to its lengthy charge time and the loss of a precious and potent KO move. However, this move does not leave Wario [[helpless]], meaning it is nonetheless useful for recovery, as it can be followed up with [[Corkscrew]] and allow Wario to recover from incredibly far off the stage.
| | ==Origin== |
| | | The move is loosely based on a minigame in ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: Smooth Moves}}'' where Wario farts briefly but it doesn't create an explosion. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Strikers Charged}}'' (released a year after ''Brawl'') his Super Ability is {{s|mariowiki|Gas Mask!}}, in which he farts and leaves behind a trail of green gas that flips the controls of anyone who passes through it. When the gas comes into contact with fire it will cause a detonation. |
| ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''== | |
| :{{Main|Wario (SSBB)/Down special}}
| |
| [[File:Fart Chart.png|thumb|A graph of how much damage the Wario Waft does based on its charge in ''Brawl''. The gold line represents the damage dealt as Wario, and the pink line represents the damage dealt as Wario-Man.]]
| |
| | |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', only Wario's stomach grows as Waft charges.
| |
| | |
| Uncharged Waft is completely useless due to its abysmal speed and with its reward failing to compensate for its speed. A stage 2 Waft is also largely useless as it is very weak and not particularly fast for the amount of power it has. The quarter waft deals 10%, with its damage scaling up to 13% depending on how long it has been charged for. Interestingly, stage 2 Waft possesses two weaker sourspots which deal less damage and knockback. However, these sourspots are impossible to land as they are completely obscured by the sweetspot and have lower priority than the sweetspot. These sourspots were retained in later games, and they continue to be impossible to land.
| |
| | |
| A stage 3 Waft is by far Wario's most useful Waft. The move comes out on frame 5 and has very low ending lag (taking 29 frames to complete). The move also makes Wario rise upwards, making it very hard to punish (along with its low ending lag), and allowing it to be used as a recovery tool. What really makes the move shine though is its excellent KO power. The move deals 21% initially and has decent KO power however, its damage scales up to a massive 31% depending on how long it has been charged for. When the move has been charged for long enough to deal 31%, it has incredible KO potential, being able to KO middleweights under 60% at the center of {{SSBB|Final Destination}}. Because of its speed and power, half Waft is easily one of Wario's most powerful tools, especially if he charges it as much as possible before it becomes fully charged.
| |
| | |
| A fully charged Waft is not as useful, however. The move is slower, coming out on frame 9 and having much more ending lag (taking 59 frames to complete). One positive however is that the move does have super armor which lasts from frames 5-10, which can allow Wario to plough through attacks (which the half Waft cannot do). The move deals an incredibly high 40%, although its knockback is not very high for how much damage it deals. It has decent KO power although it still pales in comparison to a near fully charged Waft, especially since it is slower. However, Wario receives an extreme vertical boost and the rising hit deals 20% and has solid vertical knockback at high percents, making it a great recovery tool and occasionally allowing it to catch opponents high in the air. As a result, a fully charged Waft can still be useful at times although Wario players would usually opt to charge Wario Waft as much as they can before it reaches full charge (ideally charging it for 105-109 seconds) to get Wario's most deadly and useful Waft.
| |
| | |
| Overall, Wario Waft is one of Wario's greatest tools due to the speed and strength of his half charged Waft. The sheer effectiveness of the move results in professional Wario players adopting a highly defensive playstyle, in order to charge up Waft as much as possible and then hopefully release it and land it shortly before it reaches maximum charge.
| |
| | |
| ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
| |
| :{{Main|Wario (SSB4)/Down special}}
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the Wario Waft returns and it has seen some changes. Wario's entire torso now grows as the Waft charges, which negatively affects the move as it makes Wario's hurtboxes extend further. Uncharged Waft was unchanged from ''Brawl'', still being an extremely slow and extremely weak attack.
| |
| | |
| Stage 2 Waft is stronger, now dealing 12% and having increased knockback. This overall makes quarter Waft more effective although the move is still rarely useful and the move also has increased ending lag to compensate. Strangely, the sourspots also received increased damage and knockback, despite still being impossible to land.
| |
| | |
| Stage 3 Waft has become noticeably less effective. The move now only deals 20% and the move's damage only scales up to 24%, making the move much less powerful when it is close to being fully charged. In addition to this, the move has much higher ending lag (taking 20 more frames to complete), and the move does not travel as high, making it much more punishable and generally making it less useful than in ''Brawl'' (although this is also due to the changes to Wario's fully charged Waft).
| |
| | |
| Fully charged Waft has seen the most drastic changes, however. The move now deals a less extreme 27% but has vastly greater knockback, now being capable of KOing middleweights at around 50% from the center of {{SSB4|Final Destination}} (about twice as early as in ''Brawl''). Additionally, due to the changes to [[hitstun cancelling]] and [[DI]], Wario now has reliable ways he can combo most of the cast into a fully charged Waft, and if he has [[rage]] (which he can easily build up to the his high weight), Waft can KO even earlier. This makes a fully charged Waft much more devastating and effective overall despite its reduced damage. However, Wario does not rise as high after performing a fully charged Waft, hindering its recovery potential.
| |
| | |
| Overall, Waft remains an incredible tool due to the newfound strength of a fully charged Waft.
| |
| | |
| ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
| |
| :{{Main|Wario (SSBU)/Down special}}
| |
| | |
| Wario Waft returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' and it has seen some adjustments. The fart clouds have been redesigned and Wario's fully charged waft has seen a few adjustments. The move has a new animation where Wario faces away from the screen and it now triggers [[Special Zoom]] when it connects.
| |
| | |
| In earlier versions of the game, these were the only changes Wario Waft received, apart from a fully charged Waft receiving one more frame of ending lag. Because of this, Wario Waft became an even more effective tool, as Wario gained even more ways to combo into Waft both due to universal changes and buffs Wario himself has received, making it even deadlier than before. In update [[List of updates (SSBU)/11.0.0 changelog|11.0.0]] however, the stage 3 and fully charged Wafts were nerfed.
| |
| | |
| The stage 3 version received 3 frames more startup lag and 5 more total frames, which overall made it harder to land and removed a couple of setups into it (such as landing down aerial → Waft). The fully charged version was made 3 frames slower, both in startup lag and total frames, which made it harder for Wario to combo into, especially out of up tilt due to the nerfs that move received in the same patch. A positive change the move received however is that it gained more super armor, now lasting from frames 4-13, rather than from 5-10.
| |
| | |
| Overall, Wario Waft still remains a very powerful tool, even after receiving nerfs in update 11.0.0. Despite the move's increased startup lag, Wario still has more ways to lead into his Waft than the previous game both due to universal changes and buffs Wario himself has received which overall makes it a more practical combo ender, even if it is a riskier move in neutral.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==[[Wario-Man]] Waft==
| | Wario Waft later makes an appearance as Wario's skill in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games}}. |
| In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', Wario-Man possesses a Waft of his own with unique properties. His uncharged Waft is similar to Wario's although it [[stun]]s grounded opponents and it pushes aerial opponents back. A stage 2 Waft only takes one second to charge and it is stronger than Wario's. A stage 3 Waft only takes 5 seconds to charge although it is weaker than Wario's, dealing less damage (in ''Brawl'') and knockback. Wario Man's fully charged Waft still takes 110 seconds to charge but it is incredibly powerful when fully charged, dealing
| |
| 50% and being capable of [[OHKO]]ing.
| |
|
| |
|
| In ''Smash 4'', Wario-Man's stage 2 and 3 Wafts retain the higher ending lag Wario's versions received. His stage 3 Waft is also stronger, dealing 2% more damage than in ''Brawl''.

| |
| | |
| ==Origin==
| |
| The Wario Waft move is unique to ''Smash Bros.'', though it is directly inspired on Wario's crude personality and his general love for {{s|wikipedia|toilet humor}} as seen in multiple game manuals and promotional websites for many of his games. One of the first instances concerning Wario and farting is the Japanese manual for ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario Land II}}'', where Wario mentions that his {{s|mariowiki|Hot Wario}} reaction was not produced "because his fart caught on fire".
| |
| | |
| While farting would later be part of the actual games that feature Wario around the development of ''Brawl'', such as being one of Wario's special items in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart Arcade GP}}'' (namely, {{s|mariowiki|Fart Gas}}), or in the {{s|mariowiki|He Who Smelt It...}} microgame from ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: Smooth Moves}}'', none of thoses instances of farting work the same way as how Wario Waft works in ''Smash'', as the former two act more like clouds of some sorts, instead of being an explosion that hurts anyone in contact like the move in ''Smash''.
| |
| | |
| Wario Waft would later make an appearance as Wario's skill in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games}}'', as well as in the {{s|mariowiki|Blow Away Chain Chomp!}} minigame from the [[Nintendo DS]] version.
