Wario in Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Unfourtunatley, people now seem to think Assist Trophy = Disrespecting a character. Just like the memers who aren't actual Waluigi fans.

That might apply if they turned a character from playable to assist trophy. But not from nothing to assist trophy.
It's not like they could only choose between fighter and assist trophy. They can also, you know, not use them at all?
If a character is an assist trophy that means that, in the eyes of the Smash team, they are good enough to be an assist trophy. That's a lot more than what you can say about other characters. Other classic WarioWare characters didn't even get a proper regular trophy, only lazy recycled 2D images.
So be glad she has been put in the game at all.
Also, Waluigi fans, be glad he's even an assist trophy. That's already more than he deserves if you ask me.

I'm getting really, really sick of the terrible rap Ashley's fans as a whole are getting because of maybe 3 people being extreme about it, and the rest being 4chan's /v/ just being themselves. Every single time I see Ashley mentioned on /v/, the same word is thrown around: "pedos." No matter what, it always goes to that, or talking about how Ashley's fanbase was "always obnoxious" when it was just a few certain people making the threads over and over again, but /v/ being /v/ (and ignoring what isn't in their current favor in an argument) just decided that Ashley isn't allowed to have fans that aren't also pedophiles. You can like K. Rool without wanting to bang crocodiles, but you are not allowed to like Ashley without it being sexual in nature.

This, unfortunately, has made its way over to Twitter, which is going to make people who like her look even worse to people who aren't normally interested in video games. It somewhat reminds me of that huge thing over Fire Emblem having the headpats and touching removed, where one person said "well a true fan wouldn't want that stuff in anyway" without knowing what the actual argument/backlash was even about to begin with. Ashley is going to be forever associated with lolicon artwork (which some people like, I don't judge tastes,) but for those who have no interest in her "like that" whatsoever, she's ruined. Even if she would miraculously get in as DLC, there's going to be some social issue about males playing as her, all thanks to Twitter and /v/ being their usual selves.

tl;dr - Ashley's fans are getting the Waluigi rep but worse, and no sir, I don't like it.

I kind of think it's a bit of an understatement to say all of this was just because of 2 fans. I mean yes those 2 people got the most attention but I feel like all these weird Ashley fans have already been around for a while and it was this that really just shined the light on them.

I also feel like the other side is also strongly to blame for going too far on taking the piss out of those Ashley weirdos and just making this even more of a bigger deal than it had any reason to be.

weird cult-like idolization for [a character] that's based on something imagined.

I sometimes feel like that's why Geno is so popular. In the game he's just a posessed doll with some neat moves.
But to the internet he's the second coming of videogame Jesus Christ.
 
On a non-Ashely related note, I've noticed Wario's trailer doesn't have voice clips. Does this mean he will get new voice clips? That would be neat.
 
I figured I'd give Wario in 4 another shot in some online matches and doing so really reminded me of one major thing I want fixed for Wario in Ultimate (the biggest one, since we already know about the Charge being back)

For a character of his strenght Wario in 4 has a disgustingly hard time finishing off his opponents, because he has few reliable killing options, the Charge was much more reliable then his newer side smash thanks to it's Super Armor and how quick it was and I swear that his up-air was better in Brawl as well.

So yeah, I really hope the Shoulder Charge dash attack is a kill move, because Wario needs some.

Devs usually do all the things they need too do before voice acting. So sadly, he's most likely gonna have the same voice clips from Brawl. *sigh*

And on an unrelated note, is it just me or does Wario's classic outfit look a little more WL4/Melee-esque?
 
Finally get to play as Isabelle, Rosalina, Richter, and Daisy all in one game this will be amazing.

In the Adventure Mode trailer, Wario clearly wasn't standing on the cliff with other characters, but did anyone try to find him in that Spirits group, where characters are barely seen? There's a pair of glowing eyes I suppose to belong to him, but I want to make sure.

I'm grateful that Nintendo at least didn't forget about Wario Land after a decade since the last installment.

I'm surprised that the Kat and Ana Assist didn't return. Unless I miss something.

They aren't. Smash site has all 59 assists shown. Unless updates will have new assists, I'm very sad, that Ashley is the only Wario universe AT. I mean 59. One blank spot seems way too weird.

We don't have music update either.
