“	Wario has unique attacks, like using his Wario Bike and releasing noxious gas. He can jump higher than normal by leaping from his bike, which comes in handy when recovering. For his Final Smash, he turns into Wario-Man and creates copies of himself for an all-out attack!	”

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

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Wario seems to be mostly unchanged from his SSB4 appearance, though his moveset appears to have been slightly altered to be more reflective of the Wario Land series, as the series' iconic Dash Attack and Ground Pound are now referenced in his attacks.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Wario's model features a more subdued color scheme. Similarly to his appearance in Brawl, his clothing now features simple detailing.
• Down taunt has a more comical, "poppier" animation.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Wario's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground Attacks

• Wario's forward tilt is now a heavy-handed slap.
• Wario has a new dash attack, resembling the "shoulder bash" Dash Attack from the Wario Land series.
• Forward smash comes out significantly faster and has far less ending lag.
• Up smash covers more horizontal range.

Aerial Attacks

• Wario's forward aerial has increased horizontal range.
• Wario's back aerial has received significantly less end lag.
• Wario's down aerial has a slight animation change, with him putting his arms around his head, his hands together in a diving pose.

Throws/other attacks

• Wario's hand is placed lower when grabbing someone.
• Wario's down throw animation appears 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

• Chomp is now able to heal Wario if he eats a projectile.
• Chomp now heals Wario while biting an opponent.
• Wario Bike now has a cooldown before being usable again.
• Wario Waft's trajectory can now be angled diagonally
• Wario Waft's fart cloud now produces significantly fewer particles.
• Wario now turns away from the screen when executing a fully-charged Wario Waft.
• Wario-Man is no longer a transformation. Instead, Wario dashes forward, and if the rush connects, Wario-Man performs a cinematic comic book-style attack that launches enemies away at the end.
