Wario's Special Moves
Neutral B-
The bite or "eat" as me and Ray call it. It out prioritizes everything. EVERYTHING. Close Zairs,F-smash, Ftilt, you name it. It'll suck you in if your close
behind him even. That means he can get you even if you try to Jab combo/F-smash when close behind him. It comes out fast and isn't really easy to see coming onscreen. The downside of the move is that it makes an obnoxiously loud and obvious noise when coming out. The "NAHHH" sound he makes when he opens his mouth means move the hell out of the way.The best angle I'd go for would be right on the back of his head from a northeast/northwest angle (see pic below). Use Fair, Nair, or Bair. I suggest Bair. If he
does manage to get you however, struggle. It's just like being grabbed. He can bite you too, which is basically just a grab attack. Once you get out, jump or something.
Most Warios will just run up to you again and go for another B. Then they just keep doing it. A Bite chain. Don't fall for that crap. Don't try to airdodge, that move lasts forever. Don't try to attack, you'll lose. Just get out of the way. Another downside of this move is that once he opens his mouth, he can't move. Just hit him from the angle I told you about or Zair.

Side B-
The Bike. **** the bike. So annoying. Okay, listen to me. If theres a Wario coming at you with a bike, GRAB. Don't do any other move. There are only few places you can actually hit him while hes roaring at you (see pic below). They all just hit the bike and you end up as roadkill. I know, I know "were Toon Link, our grabs too risky". Yeah...no, graaabbbb. The chain just swoops out and plucks him off his bike. It doesn't even take good timing. This kind of stuff leaves them awestruck. Throw him forwards away from the bike. The bike just rolls past you without hitting you. If your in the air and can't grab, Zair or bomb. Once you have him off his bike,
keep the bike alive. Don't beat on it. He can't recover for crap without it. Just get in front of it and spam arrows till he approaches. He has to try to destroy the bike and fight you at the same time. Just keep him at bay. It shouldn't be that hard. Also, if you have to, you can hit the bike to regenerate moves (use D-tilt). But seriously, don't do that unless you have to. While a Warios recovering on his bike, this is your most advantageous time. Free Dairs. It's like hes in the air, on a pretty much set course, and can't airdodge. I love these moments. Go for a Dair when edgeguarding his bike recovery. If you miss him, you'll hit the bike. Your SAFE. When Wario jumps off his bike its some huge leap, so you can try Dairing from very high above him if you think hes going to jump off. You'll hit the bike if you miss anyway so its fine. Wario can pose and tilt his bike up. The pose just leaves him move vulnerable (they won't do that unless its to get a laugh or something). The tilt means you have to hit him from behind. When he tilts it, try Zairing.

Up B -
This is my most hated move in the game. I'm not kidding. The only advise I have for this move is, Don't try to edgehog it. Even with the "let go of the edge, Zair, pull back up to get invulnerability frames" technique. No, that doesn't work. This move doesn't autograb the edge. Dair him from the stage. The Dair should just barely stay on the level, don't use it off the level. Dair his fingertips. (see pic. I couldn't get one of him at the edge bear with me, the arrow should a liiiitle more to the right). This move lasts longer then you'd think it does. And even if he just hits you with the last part, you get sent far enough so you can't punish him.

Down B-
The Waft or "fart". This isn't really much to worry about until it has some charge.
Don't let him hit you with this when hes edgegaurding you! He can use this move to recover also, so watch out for that. Dair can get him though if you see it coming (which isn't hard. He uses it when he has to). I'll separate this into categories:
Fully charged- It does 40% and has a
hugggeeee hitbox. yuppp...Okay, so Wario gets super armor right at the beginning of the waft (see pics below). Just spot dodge it when he uses it close to you. If he tries to throw you up (or just when your above him) and use it, Dair him or do a midair dodge. I'd go with Dair. It's really the just best thing to do, theres really no risk or disadvantage or anything. And if the Wario sees the airdodge coming, he'll just wait a second and then use it. You'll be screwed. Dair it guys.
Somewhat charged- Get ready for some "wtf" moments. Warios fart does more knockback NOT fully charged.I know.....I know....But it does do less damage. It's REALLY fast and can catch you off guard (but by then it'll probably be too late). Honestly theres nothing you can do but predict it. They'll try to use it when you have a decent percent and are close to the edge. Just avoid it.
Not charged-...punish him. It takes a while for him to get the waft back. A
good decent Wario shouldn't even use a not charged waft, but if he accidentally does, punish. It does no damage or anything and he just stands there like an idiot.
