Wario (SSBU)

Wario (ワリオ, Wario) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Wario seems to be mostly unchanged from his SSB4 appearance. His moveset this time around, however, looks to be a slighty more representative of Wario Land, with the return of his signature Shoulder Bash move as his dash attack and his down throw looking more like a Ground Pound from the Wario Land series.

Aesthetics

  • Change As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Wario's model features a more subdued color scheme. His clothing now features simple detailing, similar to Brawl. His model otherwise appears unchanged.
  • Change The buttons on Wario's default overalls are now gold; in previous titles, they were silver.
  • Change Down taunt has a more comical, "poppier" animation.

Ground moves

  • Change Wario's previous forward tilt appears to have been replaced with a heavy-handed slap.
  • Change Wario has a new dash attack, resembling his iconic Shoulder Bash from the Wario Land series.

Throws/other moves

  • Change Wario's down throw animation appears a bit more forceful with Wario clenching his fists upon contact, making the move bear a closer resemblance to the Ground Pound from the Wario Land games.

Special moves

  • Change Wario Waft's fart cloud now produces a significantly smaller amount of particles.
  • Change Wario-Man is no longer a transformation. Instead, Wario dashes forward and if it connects, Wario-Man performs a cinematic comic book-style attack that launches enemies away at the end.
