Wario's specials are unorthodox and a huge source of his strength. [[Chomp]] is a fast and short ranged command grab that heals him if he lands it, boosting his already high survivability. It also has the potential to kill near the ledge and absorb items and projectiles which will heal him and charge his [[Wario Waft]]. The Waft is perhaps his most significant move, because with time, it is a highly damaging kill move with extremely fast start up. With the Waft in his arsenal, any match can be turned around with the right read. The [[Wario Bike]] is an important but risky move with many strengths and weaknesses. It can be used to surprise unsuspecting players as an approach tool that can blow past some projectiles, dismounted and thrown as an item with kill power, a very effective recovery tool, and a way for Wario to heal and charge his Waft when he eats it. On the flip side, Wario cannot shield or dodge while on the bike and is vulnerable, can have it thrown back at him, and if it is destroyed he must wait 6 seconds before using it again, which can leave him helpless while recovering as his up special, the [[Corkscrew]] is rather lackluster as a recovery on its own (although it is a decent out of shield option as it is his fastest). | Wario's specials are unorthodox and a huge source of his strength.

For all of his strengths, Wario does have several weaknesses to counterbalance them. He has poor range and lacks projectile attacks outside of a dismounted Wario Bike, and thus must take a risk whenever he wants to do damage. And while his bike recovery can go a far distance, it is fairly easy to gimp him when he does it, so the Wario player has to be careful with when and how he uses it. Also, while Wario does have some fast moves, he is certainly slower and heavier on average than most characters that share his weakness of having poor range, so he can sometimes be overwhelmed in the [[neutral game|neutral]] against small characters with good range like {{SSBU|Olimar}}. Wario will have to use his high mobility to bait his opponents into making mistakes and capitalize on them with his highly damaging combos and powerful kill moves. | For all of his strengths, Wario does have several weaknesses to counterbalance them.

Overall, Wario is a mobile and versatile heavyweight brawler character that rewards patient players that know how to use his movement and his signature Waft special to their fullest. His damage potential and kill power rewards players heavily for finding creative ways to get around his poor range and lack of projectiles, and his versatile options give players just the tools to do it. | Overall, Wario is a mobile and versatile heavyweight brawler character that rewards patient players that know how to use his movement and his signature Waft special to their fullest.
