Wario is a pretty good character in by most reports Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. But facing him becomes even more frightening when he has time to fill his guts with explosive gas.
An example of this is this match from Smash @ Xanadu, a weekly edition from last night smash Tournament that moved from personal to online competition during the Covid-19 pandemic. With another win needed to qualify for the top 8, a New York competitor named 9superpie faced a huge health deficit against South Carolina’s NM. What happened next can only be called a clutch.
After taking some time to gather around the edge of the stage, 9superpie jumped forward and landed two of Wario’s unconventional belly flops. This gave them just enough time to chase down the now-airborne enemy with Wario’s jumping smack before unleashing his most powerful fart attack. smashThe rage mechanic, which gives badly damaged players a damage boost, made the overwhelming attack of 9superpie even stronger and threw NM’s unfortunate Marth out of the arena and ended the match with one game apiece.
9superpie would win Smash @ Xanadu for the second week in a row that they have finished first. And while they used multiple characters during the tournament last night, it’s clear that 9superpie handles Wario’s strengths well, particularly his ability to turn his own biological gases into a powerful weapon.
