==Changes from ''Brawl''==
==Changes from ''Brawl''==
Despite being a high tier character in Brawl, Wario has received a significant amount of buffs from Brawl to Smash 4, but not without some nerfs to counter them. While he lost some of his great aerial speed and aerial acceleration from Brawl, he has received a number of more reliable recovery options to compensate. One of his most reliable kill moves from Brawl, his Forward Smash, has been replaced with a heavy-hitting backhanded punch that has much more range and knockback, but is significantly slower and no longer has the Super Armor frames of the Shoulder-Barge. Despite these changes, with the addition of his new Up Smash, and the increased knockback delivered by the Wario Bike and Wario Waft, Wario now has a much broader range of reliable killing moves to compensate.
Wario was nerfed from Brawl to Smash 4 but not without a few buffs. His aerial speed has been drastically reduced making his approaches much more unsafe. Many of his moves have become more laggy, most notably his Down air and his new forward smash. Some move's kill power has been lowered significantly such as his Up air, which was one of his most reliable kill moves in Brawl. He also cannot use his wheels from his bike as projectiles anymore which further lowers his approach and projectile game. Wario, however, does not go without a few minor buffs such as a sped up forward tilt with decent killing power, less laggy down smash and new powerful Up smash that can kill early, but is fairly laggy. His main buff is that you cannot combo him out of a grab release anymore.

*{{change|Like a number of other characters in the games, Wario's facial expressions are much more exaggerated than before. For example, Wario now scowls when performing an attack. This exaggeration is present even more so in the Wii U version, where Wario's mustache and eyebrows now stretch and grow to fit the situation.}}
