I've said it before and I'll say it again, Nintendo should make these Super Smash Bros. Brawl hacks official, and allow players to swap custom characters and gameplay tweaks just like they can with custom made stages. This update to the Waluigi hack brings the character a close as homebrew programmers could ever hope to get to creating a Brawl character that looks and plays like something that came from the official dev team. Sure, there are a few cracks in the paint here and there, but on the whole, this it the Waluigi I wish was in Brawl in the first place.
My favorite bit is probably his final smash, which has a Wesker-ish, Raging Demon quality to it that I really enjoy. I don't know what's up with the ability that Kirby gets from eating him though. Is that some sort of silent-but-deadly belch? Is he supposed to be yelping "WA!" in the patented Waluigi style, but they left out the sound effect? Or maybe it's just another mystery to add to the pile of oddities that make up the abhorrent, genetic anomaly that is Waluigi?

I could never get on board with Brawl, but this really is pretty awesome. Oh homebrew, doing what Nintendo only wishes they could, 'cuz, ya know, Nintendo doesn't have the resources or money that the homebrew crowd does to make stuff awesome.
uggh. If nintendo doesn't come up with any new good characters, they're going to have to result to scraping the bottom of the bucket with characters like Waluigi.
I'm generally not big on DLC, but I would be 100% behind nintendo releasing an expansion pack of new characters or levels. I'd spend $10 to get 3 or so more characters, especially if they are guys that I would love to see in the game. Just as long as they weren't more clones or do the MVC3 $5 a character thing. And since Brawl isn't as competitive as other fighters (like melee) and it's internet support sucks you won't have to worry about unbalancing the game.
this makes me wanna play brawl again maybe ones I upgraded my cpu I will play it on an emulator. I will pirate it as my disc drive is not capable of ripping wii games.
As much as I hate Waluigi the long legs kind make for a cool fighting style. I hope the next smash bros has lots of reasonably priced dlc content. Nintendo would be crazy not to do it, but then again it is nintendo.
The brawl hacking community has made some amazing things, this is very impressive and isn't even close to the greatest things I've seen come out of them. Imma download this right away for the next time I'm playing some brawl- with my friends.
I've imported a NTSC Brawl Disc to play Project M on when it finally comes out. Fuck I can't wait, I hate the base mechanics of Brawl. <3 to the modding community.
I like how they took a lot of wario animations, it actually fits, being that they're brothers, even if it's clone esque. Gameplay wise, he looks extremely mobile and focused on getting in, then getting out, and doing it from every direction. The final smash is unique but probably gets murdered next to the more unbalanced characters.

BRING BACK PICHU!

Obviously can't match the real thing. I would rather have Pit (who they replaced) than that guy...
Waluigi is kinda stupid.
Nintendo ACCEPTING hacks is just ALL kinds of wrong... There is a reason we love them and that's because they're old school.
