With some word finally being given as to who our next entry into the Smash Bros. fray is, I feel it's time for me to do a little something. Just a personal project I've been working on when I have a free moment here and there. I'll admit that I had initially scrapped this idea because my opinion on Byleth's inclusion was... less then pleasant and I didn't want to get my hopes up all over again just to have them be dashed but time heals all wounds I guess. Okay, actually it's because I had already drawn half of these and I did want a lot of work to go unseen.
So I believe the idea speaks for itself. Who would I like to see in Smash? If I was given the choice over the final 6 entries (I guess 5 now technically, but we'll just have 6 for the sake of things) who would I pick? It's a tough choice... sure there's plenty I'd enjoy seeing but that doesn't necessarily mean they're my top choices, or others sound fun on paper but would end up just being really boring in execution; for example, Travis Touchdown of No More Heroes is one I'd love to see, but I omitted because his fighting style is less interesting then his overall character. So yes, there's a lot I'd like to see and I have a loose idea of a top 10 for myself, but ruling it down to 6 was what I had to do and I think I have a pretty fair concept of that now, so without further delay I bring you 'Aw Heck, Lemme Smash!' a series where I showcase my undoubtedly unfulfilled dreams.
Now, if unfulfilled dreams is the topic of today then who better to fit that than the ever downtrodden, Waluigi. Always the bride's maid, never the bride, he. Of course I know that getting Waluigi into Smash is mostly a meme, one that I'm fully behind as well but I do actually want to see him in. If only to just complete the Mario cast as it were. I've always felt it odd to only give Mario an evil twin but not Luigi, if Wario weren't in Smash I'd think nothing of it, but since he is, we may as well round it out with Waluigi? He is, as always, bottom tier for me though as while I would like him in, I also think that the more and more he gets snubbed and refused entry into the roster just becomes funnier and funnier and more fitting for this pathetic schlub.
Now I know there's the accepted idea that if it's an Assist Trophy they can't get in and for the most part I'm sticking to that. There are some Assist Trophies I would love to see playable, namely Shovel Knight but I didn't just want to harp on the "almosts" and "never were" in this. I kind of feel like Assist Trohpies mostly go without saying that they nearly all deserve to be legit fighters and are basically consolation prizes but I'm going to give it to Waluigi this one time if only due to the fact that he's just such a huge inside joke for me that it would make my soul happy if I got to troll the worl with him!

He is my spirit animal waluigi is the best Nintendo character ever
Likewise; I'm usually trolling conventions as either a lone Waluigi, or a full gaggle of fellows XD
>getting Waluigi into Smash is mostly a meme
I've never understood this line of thought, because people have wanted him in Smash since before memes even really became a thing. I more often see people use that as an excuse to be dicks to people who want him in, like how they acted towards anyone who wanted Undertale representation.
Of course, that example hilariously blew up in their faces. :V
But yeah, really, I'd say a good 3/4 of the Assists in Ultimate are characters who deserve to be playable, and some of them, like Krystal, Isaac and our boy Waluigi, are LONG overdue for their turn as part of the playable cast.

I'm meaning more so in recent times. Like, it became more of a joke that 'everyone' got in, but Waluigi was still left behind. Again, given that is Waluigi's lot in life, I think it's hilarious that he keeps getting snubbed but all the same I feel if we got Wario then we should get Waluigi but to be fair, I've always felt that way well before Waluigi was even a thing. I remember being really happy when he finally showed up in Mario Tennis and have never felt he was some unwelcome inclusion or something that begs explanation. Nothing else in the Mario universe is explained, why should he be any different? XD
I've been a fan of his since his introduction myself, at around the same time. I saw him in Mario Tennis, thought he looked pretty cool and was like "Well, I have a new favourite character!" after playing him. And now I've spent about 20 years waiting for him to be allowed to have his own game... XD
My thought wa simply "oh they have an evil twin for Luigi now? About time!" Always bothered me that Mario got one but not Luigi.
[clears throat]
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I've seen many Waluigi Smash interpretations, most taking his meme status and running with it. Though, Waluigi's more complicated than just a walking meme, and if he ever does make it to Smash, I hope it's with a moveset that gets him.
