Hey yall.
Considering that all of the bros been in a platformer game, it seems only right Waluigi was in a platformer, preferably as player 2 in a Wario Land game. We can dream, right? But how would he play?
Looking at how Luigi works to Mario, let's use this for Waluigi's design. Luigi trades precision for higher jumps, so Waluigi shall also trade precision for higher jumps. But since Wario has more moves in his games than Mario, Waluigi will have more "trades" throughout this moveset. Instead of forefront strength like Wario, Waluigi would have more tricks up his sleeve, using crazy uncontrollable approaches instead of completely mowing down opponents.
Waluigi's "dash attack" will work differently compared to Wario, of course. Instead of a shoulder check body slam, Waluigi would be more... tricky. Waluigi spins in place for about a full second, similarly to Meta Knight's neutral B in smash. You may move left and right during this spin. Jumping during this spin on the ground will have you spinning in the air. You can also use the spin in the air unlike the shoulder bash.
So, with full control of movement of this spin, isn't this a better shoulder bash? Not entirely. Hitting something (the bounce back in Wario's attack) will be much harder to control. Instead of a little bounce, you got big bounce! The bounce back is doubled when you hit something with the spin. Also, you can't cancel this spin unlike Wario's dash attack. You are trading versatility for harder controls.
As for a replacement for the ground pound, I would just replace it with a standard leg drop.
For picking up and throwing things, Waluigi will have less power when not charged up, but will have more directions at which he can throw. More versatality, but more difficult to throw things far.
Other misc things... Waluigi will have a bigger hitbox, making him easier to hit.
Overall, the general direction I want Waluigi to go is the more crazy approach that makes him easier to get hurt, while Wario is more tough, but not as versatile.
Ay, just a thought.
