Random: Purple And Yellow Chairs In Smash Bros. Direct Fuel Speculation Waluigi Will Be Playable Fighter

Jeebus. Just...jeebus.

Oh my god, he's an assist trophy. Can people PLEASE get over Waluigi already.

I think the Electoral College will revolt and give him his rightful place.

As Plinkett once said " Like a midget in a grocery store… you're all reaching."

that would be awesome if the made him DLC

This honestly needs to stop.

@Tarolusa - This has been a straw-grasping thing since forever. Remember the Sora in Smash debates in Smash 4? Just as much lunacy as chairs.

I hope that's some subtle trolling from Nintendo. I love it.

I mean, I think the tweets are fine and a bit humorous. Now, for those who outright called out Nintendo or Sakuri, said mean things, or spammed them are ridiculous. Shame some people get out of hand.

Purple and yellow? Don't those particular colors belong to Wario rather than Waluigi?

Christ, this is getting annoying. All of this just for a subpar character.

As a Waluigi fan who genuinely wanted him in the game, allow me to say that this has gone too far.

It’s literally chairs.

C H A I R S .

@Paraka While that was annoying as well, I'd at least give those people the benefit of the doubt that Sora could have the absolute smallest potential in being Smash 4 since he hadn't been confirmed to be an assist trophy so there was a very slim chance of him getting him (we both know the obvious results). But as for this whole Waluigi drama, we all have clear, concise proof that Waluigi is once again only an assist trophy yet there are STILL people finding any scraps of evidence that point to Waluigi possibly being playable. It was funny in Brawl, somewhat funny but slowly becoming irritating with Smash 4 but now it's really becoming insufferable and the whole harrassing sakurai controversy certainly hasn't helped.

Maybe all the Nintendo characters have to try out to be in the Smash Bros. roster and every time Waluigi tries out, he cheats and gets caught. Ever thought of that?

I hope they used those chairs on purpose to just toy with those people. lol.

I like Waluigi, but these people need to move on.

If I had my way I'd make Lyndis from FE a playable character with a different moveset than the several other FE characters.

I have no idea why people give a crap about Waluigi. He's a throwaway filler character with no redeeming qualities...

@Piscean64 - As a Custom Robo fan, I made my peace with that as well. Hell, even my secondary wish gets laughed at (Pico or Samurai Goroh).

@MH4 - Agreed, as another Waluigi fan. But, keep in mind, the fans aren't the only ones who did this.

Remember since Brawl that people suspected Ridley to be shorted and added again and again til now? Or the whole Sora thing because the whole KH card game happen to release around the same time? Waluigi is just the next one, and just so happens to appear around the time social media makes "news" of everything.

However, those memes that were spurned in our fandom's mourning are pretty tasty.

@Tarolusa - As I just said to MH4; This is just the "next one" they targeted. Ridley was confirmed as a boss, TWICE in Brawl and the Ridley fans didn't stop. It was "Bosses don't confirm anything" this and "Story-only" that. Only reason I feel this is getting more attention is the social media craze, everything is news.

stop, he an assist trophy.
this shouldn't even be news.

Kratos and Master Chief deserve a slot long before Waluigi.

Those are Wario colors

I hope it's not true, only so that those annoying people who harassed Sakurai don't suddenly feel that their "methods" are rewarded.

That said, with Sakurai being such a man of detail.... I don't know, this could mean something

I wish creatives would stop pandering to the noisy minority. In fact, I wish everybody would stop pandering to the noisy minority.

The noisy fanbase tend to be hideously myopic and do more harm to a cause or to an artwork's integrity than good.

I think any number of WarioWare characters (such as Jimmy T, Ashley, 9-Volt etc.) are far more deserving of a spot on the roster than glorified roster-filler Waluigi. The inclusion of Daisy is already pushing it when Pauline is far, far more deserving of a place on the roster.

For God’s sake...

@ReaderRagfish Both hav ‘i’ as The last letter. Super Double Secret Probation Confirmation.

Like I said in the forum, the next character killed in a direct needs to be Waluigi. Vid should be him breaking free from an assist trophy case, then getting run over mid-laugh by Wario riding his motorcycle. Then as the camera slowly zooms in on a forever broken body, items and or newspaper headlines appear around it. But Waluigi’s name slowly fades away from existence, like a ghost writing. Then the battered body itself just faded away to nothingness. Camera flashes back to Sakurai. With a deadpan look, Sakurai says only “No more.” Then he drops a GameCube controller like a mic and casually walks off screen.

For the love of God, we really don't need memes to impact everything. Okay people?

@HobbitGamer It’s the Waluigi death that would get the casuals, and the merciless dropping of a perfectly fine GameCube controller that would get the hardcore fans to cry. 😂

In all honesty, it would be pretty funny to have Waluigi die in a reveal video. Now that Assist Trophies can be KO’d for points, it would make sense with the game and be comedy gold.

Hmmm

Even though I think it would be cool for playable Waluigi, I’m pretty content that he’s an assist trophy. If anything I’d want Ashley. Disappointed that she’s also an assist but at least we’re getting other great characters like Ridley, King K. Rool, and Simon!

And who knows, maybe one day Waluigi and Ashley are future DLC? Even if that doesn’t happen, this will still be an amazing game.

He still deserve his place, chairs or no chairs.

The people reaching for Waluigi is as tall as Waluigi's legs.

If Waluigi becomes playable in this game, it will send the message that creating childish memes, acting like a baby on Social Media, and harassing someone relentlessly is the way to get things done. Everything we hate about the internet will increase tenfold.

Any so-called Smash Bros. Fan that watched the E3 direct and this most recent one, but can still only focus on what little this game doesn't have obviously can't be pleased. Trying to do so, would hurt us, the game, Sakurai, and would have absolutely no bearing on them; a complete waste of time.

I hope it happens just so all you naysayers can eat crow. You sound so sure, but you can’t be, you’re not the ones making the game!!!

It seems riding Mario coattails has gotten Waluigi quite the participation trophy. I used to stick up for Waluigi back when he was more hated, but in hindsight all he's ever done for me are the intro movies for Mario Power Tennis and Mario Golf Toadstool Tour. Amazing what webcomics and memes can do for a character.

I dislike discussion about who deserves to be in Smash, since I love Daisy and the Ice Climbers, so all I'll say is that Waluigi is very, very low priority on my wishlist.

-Face palm-

Hmm...well it is Sakurai, but thats such a "easy" conclusion to come to...who else has purple and yellow as their colors? There's Nabbit, the girl bunny from Mario Odyssey, Shantae, Master Mummy, Espio, Asgore Dreemurr and Spyro.
However to look at each chair separately, like both colors NOT being that of a single character, per say, then I can only think of Frisk being the purple, and Chara being yellow, from Undertale.
If that is indeed the case, I am totally on board with it =D

Smash fans are never pleased, including myself. I was hoping for Zero!!! It's a sickness. We should be okay with the already huge roster. But I'm sure Nintendo will try to sell us characters later. Didn't the smash dlc sell really well?

@Majora101 Completely agree. Isaac and Ashley are the two characters I want the most.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if something happened. I mean, Waluigi wasn't in the demo, just in the trailer, and if this was some elaborate troll that leads to his announcement, then it falls perfectly within the character that is Waluigi. If you question whether Sakurai is paying attention to players and very eager to troll people, I cite the beginning of the E3 direct and the King K. Rool trailer, although I can think of a few more subtle jabs in the trailers as well.

That said, I fully agree that, outside of an elaborate pre-E3 plan, it's impossible.

@Silly_G I agree that the premise of adding a character based purely on his popularity as a meme is questionable. However, I do have to ask how exactly Pauline has more credibility than Daisy as a character? I dislike Daisy strongly, but she along with Pauline were two of the first female characters in the Mario series. Both kinda vanished into obscurity for a time, but while Pauline only really returned in Mario v DK games (which were never super-popular), Daisy had quite a few reappearances, especially in the various party/sports games. So they both have notable historic significance in Mario, but only Daisy has really had the longevity. Odyssey is Pauline's only real notability outside her origin game.

My Mario game history knowledge isn't always the best, but I loved both the original Donkey Kong and Super Mario Land. I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything I'm missing there.

Honestly, I feel like Shadow (as an Echo Fighter) would be more likely than a playable Waluigi.

He's just trolling, nothing to see here.

At this point it'd be easy marketing to just release him as DLC post-launch. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up doing just that.

@FTPinkRabbit I can totally see that happening. I thought I saw somewhere that said assist trophies could end up being real fighters, but I might be wrong. Still, it be cool. That way we could get Waluigi, Ashley, or even Zero or Shovel Knight!

I think people would be ultimately disappointed if Waluigi makes it into Smash. If he was announced, the running joke ( or fake outcry ) would stop. What would everyone bemoan about then? No playable Ridley I suppose 🤔

now that K. Rool is in I gotta come clean ahem... waluigi will never be a playable character in the super smash Bros franchise

I’m sorry

It obviously means Grimace and Big Bird will be in Smash.

I want Waluigi sure, but CHAIRS?

And Waluigi can rot if Sakurai will just acknowledge StarTropics already dammit. I don't expect playable...but in the whole Smash series, not an assist, trophy, or even STICKER to be found.

All these people want waluigi but will they actually play as him when he is added with many other awesome characters he won't be missed

If only Psycho Waluigi could be ported over to eShop...

Idk what's more annoying, the clamoring for Waluigi or the people blowing their lids off in the comment section because this connection was made in a tweet (which, let's be honest, Sakurai is known to troll- this isn't that far fetched)

He cannot put a yellow and purple chair next to each other in a Smash direct. Waluigi trolled us all. He'll be a fighter. And what's with the pillow on the left side? Will that be a fighter as well?

Even though I'm not given to feeling disappointed, really I felt a little sad to see Shovel Knight before Shantae (and no, I do not discredit Shovel Knight, I know it's a great game, but Shantae has more time and games, but oh well...), although I still hope that there will be more revelations in the following months and she can appear, even if she is also as assist trophy ...

oh wait..., this about of Waluigi?, ok..., I prefer one or two Golden Sun characters, That franchise also has merits so that it has representation in Smash, in addition to only an assist trophy and a single soundtrack...

I've made my peace with Ashley being an assist, but Waluigi fans are still reaching eh?

The real plot twist is that sakurai is developing a waluigi game.

It would of been so amazing for Sakurai to put those chairs there for the soul purpose of trolling fans.

Overall as others have stated, Waluigi isn't a special character at all. If they wanted to add more characters to the already bloated roster, that is fine but there are so many better choices. They already did him a favor by adding Waluigi as an assist trophy plus isn't even the best assist trophy they could turn into a roster character when they have the likes of Bomberman, Shovel Knight, Zero, etc they could use.

I kinda hope for him not to be in Smash, because this joke wasn't funny the first time people said it.... And it ain't funny the thousandth time.
But I mean I would be opposed for him to be a playable character..... But I just want the satisfaction of not having him in hehe 😈

I don't mind Waluigi as an assist. But Daisy should also be an assist then.

...It's just Wario's color pallette... I hate the Waluigi meme.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Deg7VrpHbM

Lol.... The best direct ever just finished and again the toddlers begin to cry with "bubbles of snot"

I don’t care about Waluigi anymore now that my favorite villain is confirmed. Long live the king!

The sun is yellow. Waluigi confirmed for Smash.

A true Laker fan.

Ok, maybe i missed something, but what's with all the Waluigi-fanaticism all of a sudden?

He never had a major appearance in a game (I think he started as roster-filler counterpart to Wario in some Mario sports spinoff), nothing that leaves any sort of lasting impression that he's actually a cool character, is it all just some internet-meme that got out of hand?

For god sake, it's some chairs, it doesnt mean anything.

It's like saying oh look a green plant, PIRANHA PLANT as a playable character!!

@MysticX You are correct that Waluigi was just to fill a gap, but in nearly every game he is in he shows an eccentricity & silliness not seen in other Mario characters (they are all silly, but Waluigi is something else)

In a game where we can have Pac-Man shoot Solid Snake with a Banana Gun Waluigi is a perfect fit.

Well, they did spend thousands of dollars trolling the K.Rool reveal. 2 chairs and 2 seconds of screen time as an assist is much cheaper.

Sigh... Those chairs are neither purple, yellow or green.

The chair on the left is Cadmium Violet and the chair on the right is Citrine.

Colors which are nowhere to be found on Waluigi.

I love this. Sakurai is the Master of Trolls.

Well.... those chairs do seem out of place.

Waluigi is the final boss and the villain behind the deaths of the Smash Characters. He's probably stolen Luigi's spirit storage device and hire the other villains to take out the heroes.

Yall dumb asses be thinking that the teases in the direct were for smash! Ha! Ya fell for da bluff. This has confirmed that WaLuigi's Mansion is coming and its set in Draculas Castle, the crossovers continue...
Also, when we finally hear about Steep from Ubisoft again it will be rebranded 1080:STEEP and be a lil 'tendoed up.

Straws are being grasped

The plants are a reference to his mustache. He is all but confirmed as a playable character now!!!!

@bluemujika Ah, i figured as much...

Which games is Waluigi in though? (If i had to guess, the Mario tennis games, to play doubles with Wario) I'm not into the Mario sports games myself, so the only place i have seen him is on the internet.

To be honest, after all their incessant whining and death threats, they really don't deserve it. Sakurai should troll their worthless and immature cottage cheese keisters and give them Tingle or something instead.

Waluigi deserves being a playable character, he's the funniest Nintendo character.

There's a plant in the background! Petey Piranha confirmed!

why does it even matter there are tones of characters, every time they announce another character the first response is , oh my life would be complete if they added X, people aint never happy

Oh my tweet..........

Why are Waluigi fans the absolute worst?

@Silly_G How is Pauline more deserving of a spot? Daisy has been in far more games. Also where do you pull a moveset for Pauline from? Plus Daisy is only an echo fighter meaning she didn't take much work in the first place whereas Pauline would take much more work.

@ArmoredGoomba in defense of Daisy, her inclusion shouldn't justify waluigi's bc shes an echo fighter whereas waluigi would not be and she is also requested.

@BlueOcean Do you really want Sakurai to start picking Smash Bros characters based of their comedic value?

I don't get what's the deal with wanting Waluigi as a playable character,he's fine as an assist trophie

Seriously? So Sakurai isn't even allowed chairs near him without it supposedly hinting at something more? Good god people, leave him alone. I wanted Marshadow or Mimikyu as fighters, but Im okay with Assist trophies instead. Be glad he's in the game at all...

@MysticX It is mainly the sports titles, but he's been in the Kart series for some time and, just for the lolz he was the "antagonist" of DDR: Mario Mix.

He wanted to entrance the world with his dancing.

Seriously. Chairs! That's What The Speculate On!

Even So, It Wouldn't Make Since Because Waluigi Is Already An Assist Trophy

I didn't even notice those chairs!

@ReaderRagfish Sakurai's eyes are black. The Nothing from Neverending Story confirmed.

@jswhitfield8 In the spin off, not only would Waluigi be the only playable character, he would be the ONLY game asset. Launching the tile from the Switch menu just loads a black screen with Waluigi able to walk around in it.

Sakurai is probably trolling the jerks that have been harassing him over waluigi. I hope he never includes him now.

Purple and yellow? You mean WARIO's colors?

There's still a debate going on about this?! He's an Assist Trophy! Last time I checked, Sakurai doesn't make them playable out of sheer magic. Period.

Thank god that you can KO them now. 'Cause I know who I'm aiming for once they apper when the game releases.

Really hoping it's just an unfortunate coincidence. The only way for this meme to go away is if Nintendo doesn't say a word about it, good or bad.

After the death threats to Sakurai I think he doesn't deserve a slot, it feeds the small minority that are just plain *sshats. It sucks for the other small minority that like Waluigi and are not total jerks, but you can't keep feeding the trolls.

I'm not sure what the motives are for these movements for things like Waluigi in Smash. Usually it doesn't become this heavily played character or anything. I'm convinced it's just an internet metagame to prove you are right and got your way so you can stamp "I win" in a Reddit thread and then continue to ignore it. I doubt it has anything to do with actually wanting something in a game, based on past nonsense. Unfortunately developers mistake internet metagames with actual fan interest.

Aren't Waluigi's main colors purple and black, though?

I used to kinda like Waluigi, but the attitude of the internet has really made me just want him to never show up ever again, just to show 'em.

@Silly_G To be fair, Daisy was more present due to her sports outings. Before March of the Minis Nintendo seemed to completely forget about her and is only slowly coming back. I wonder if they make her a playable character in the next Mario Party/Kart/Sports Game

The fact that people are threatening Sakurai over a character that's an assist trophy makes me wish for him to stay an assist.

Forever.

Labo Confirmed as a playable character. Get ready to create your own crap and beat others in smash with it.

@VexingInsanity Waluigi deserves it much more than many others so, yes, Waluigi should be in Super Smash Bros. And yes, he is funny, that's a plus.

I think its a pretty obvious nod to Waluigi being in there. They have been strategically placed there, I find it strange that so many of you don't think it is.

If he's going to the hassle of putting in King K.Rool and non nintendo fighters in such as Simon Belmont then he's absolutely going to put in Waluigi. He'll be the last announced fighter and it'll drum up interest in the game.

I was happy that Daisy got a spot, because I wanted all princesses in Smash. Daisy is the princess of her own land, but she's "just" the dash fighter of Peach, despite the fact that she could have her own unique moveset based on Mario Land and sports spin-offs. I think Captain Toad and Pauline would deserve a spot before Waluigi, because he hasn't much going for himself.

And if Sakurai is really getting death threats over Waluigi not being in Smash, then I agree that he doesn't deserve a spot.

@Rin-go Sakurai receiving death threats isn't waluigi's fault so i dont think that means he doesn't deserve a spot. And what does Pauline have going for her exactly that Waluigi doesnt? I can think up a moveset for waluigi but Pauline doesnt do anything. Toad does deserve the spot though.
Also daisy doesn't deserve her own moveset, purely because Sakurai said characters that arent as requested can be implemented as echo fighters so that they dont take as much development time. And as much as daisy is my fave, she doesn't need her own moveset.

Don't worry, Waluigi fans...

Sooon...

https://youtu.be/7noTvgyWSHw?t=3m57s

Sakurai's hair-style strikingly resembles Moe Howard's...

THREE STOOGES CONFIRMED

Yes, and the sun from K. Rool's trailer is clearly a hint to Golden Sun i.e. Isaac xD It still surprises me how people can look for clues in seemingly innocent things.

@Majora101

Agree wholeheartedly. His fanbase is still going strong despite the many years since the series was still active, and he has a lot of support for Smash as well. He could be so darn interesting with a psynergy moveset and not another 'generic animu swordsman'. I have nothing against Waluigi fans but he is barely relevant outside the Mario spin off games :/

Pauline was there in Donkey Kong (Arcade, 1981) and in Pinball (NES, 1984). She also appeared in Donkey Kong (Game Boy, 1994) and the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series (DS, 2007) before finally showing up in Super Mario Odyssey (Switch, 2017).

She may not be a Smash fighter now, but I can easily envision her being playable in Super Mario Party, Mario Kart 9 and the next Mario Sports games, before turning up as a fighter in Smash 6.

Oh, and since Waluigi is technically a Camelot-Character (Camelot made Mario Tennis for N64, Waluigi's first appearance in 2000), wouldn't it make more sense to put Isaac (Golden Sun - also from Camelot) before him?

I personally prefer Pauline still, and (Captain) Toad / Toadette, and Koopa Troopa (plus Dry Bones echo).

What I still can't understand is Geno going so strong. This one-time sidekick from Square Enix is rather forgetable even though I loved 99%ing Super Mario RPG (the last % was missable in the beginning of the game!). If there's another Square Enix character why not Crono (Chrono Trigger), Ark (Terranigma) or the Mana Hero (Secret of Mana)? They'd at least come with much better music and stages than Geno could ever imagine.

You know, I only understood this unparalleled desire for Waluigi to be a playable character to be some form of joke, but the extent of which this has been taken has become borderline catastrophic. Honestly, folks; please stop.

You know what I'm waiting for... Super Smash Bros. Ultimate........ .......& Knuckles chuckles

But what if it means that Wario will "die" in the next reveal trailer? Did anybody think of that?

This is Sakurai. Waluigi isn't in Smash, he just loves to torture fans of a popular character that didn't make the cut.

Let's just have the chairs in the game.

Why not.

One theory I really liked on the chairs is not Waluigi... But Skull Kid.
The yellow and purple are the fairies, with the green couch and orange pillows being the color design based off of Skull Kid. Once you see the pictures.... It's uncanny how closer to Skull Kid this is. 😉 hint hint

Please dear god!! I'm hoping for waluigi !! Give him a chance !! You guys got your character wishes now its his turn!! 😦

Lol, he's again a Assist trophy. It won't happen!

if your going to claim EVERYONE IS HERE then guess what waluigi better be there, one of my favorite characters in ever game hes in to play as.
