The faces didn't match. I checked her Kid Icarus Uprising idol model to see if a couple of frames from that were the basis of the leaked images. I didn't get a close enough look, but her extended-staff pose was indeed in her idol animation.
Doesn't really matter now. She's in the game, there ya go.
What is a fandom? A miserable little pile of flame wars! 3DS FC: 0387-9377-7408 PSN ID: Raven King SageI legitimately don't understand why people like Waluigi so much. The entirety of his character is "Ugly Purple Luigi" and sometimes "Wario's Minion." That's it. He has even less of an impact on the series than Daisy does.
And before someone brings up Brawl In The Family, I'm ignoring that comic. Because it's actually possible to hate that comic, which I do.
Because he's the memetic Ensemble Dark Horse.
The character we don't need, but we all secretly want for the sake of symmetry.

What personality? His personality is just "Do whatever Wario says sometimes and have an annoying as FUCK Laugh."

Not really anymore. He's a devious little sneak, not a brute-force bully like Wario.
There's a pretty clear cutoff point from when Waluigi stopped being the whipping boy of the fanbase, and y'know, I think it was when he celebrated getting a goal in soccer in the most offensive way an E rating would allow.
I sure said that!![]()
Case in point.
That game had given Mario and co the most personality I've even seen in the franchise.

I don't get Waluigi's popularity either. He is such an uninspired character with very little personality to stand out from Wario.
Meh, whatever. I'm just happy he's not playable over someone like Rosalina who's more unique and deserved a spot. But I fully expect Waluigi to be playable in the eventual fifth installment.

This helps in Waluigi's favor.
Help keep them as generic as possible. He initially had them without faces.

Now's it's Shulk Time!I usually assume that people like Waluigi for the same reasons people like Luigi. A second banana to a more popular character that only started to gain a sort of personality (and his own fanbase) as he made more appearances.
I actually don't know what to think of him personally, but I don't mind him.
Heck, IIRC, wasn't Nintendo themselves surprised at how popular he is at some point (which I think was after they left him out of one of the Mario Kart or Mario Sports titles)?

That's awesome, but why are the Miis pastel-colored like the Wii Fit Trainer?

Not only that, that's a change from the invitational build. Because of those star KOs taking too long, some of those matches went into Sudden Death when it could have been a win. They're definitely taking notes and changing things as they see fit.
