Wario (Combat)

Wario is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Combat, and is available from the start. Wario made his debut as an evil counterpart to Mario in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, stealing Mario's Castle while he is running around in Sarasaland. However, Wario later created his own identity for himself by becoming a treasure hunter in the Wario Land series and the CEO of his own gaming company WarioWare Inc. in the WarioWare series. Wario's moveset has been changed to include more moves from the Wario Land series, although he still has some WarioWare content amongst his plethora of new moves. Wario has also become a much more confident character who is based on brute force and pride rather than the cheap Wario designed around fart jokes from previous titles, although the Wario Waft remains intact. He also has his aerial mobility back from Brawl, making him a much more dangerous character in the competitive scene.

*Up aerial - Claps above his head with hands and feet. There is a sweetspot in Wario's hands. Identical to previous installments.

*Forward throw - Reels the enemy back and throws them forwards. This move doesn't do a lot of damage, but it has a lot of momentum.

*Up Special - Puffy Wario - Wario inflates and begins floating upwards. Wario can float as long as he isn't hit, as when he is hit, he falls helplessly. This move is meant for dire circumstances, as Wario's air mobility usually allows Wario to recover without the use of this move.
