As in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', {{s|mariowiki|Charles Martinet}}'s portrayal of Wario from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate''.<!--Do not add that this is the last Smash Bros. game where Charles Martinet voices Wario. Besides the fact this isn't done for other characters' pages, Jigglypuff and Lucina still use their voice clips from Rachael Lillis and Laura Bailey respectively in the Smash series instead of their current actors, so it's still possible for Martinet's voice to be reused in future Smash games-->

Wario is currently ranked 20th out of 82 characters on the current ''Ultimate'' [[tier list]]; a significant improvement from his tier placement in ''Smash 4'' where he was ranked 40th out of 54, and is his best placement in the series. Wario's greatest strength is his aerial game: he has one of the fastest [[air acceleration]] and [[air speed]] in the game which, coupled with a set of strong and versatile aerials, allows him to dominate in the air. In addition, his strong aerial movement and short stature makes it harder for opponents to hit him, while his heavyweight status and passive healing through [[Chomp]] allows him to live longer compared to the rest of the cast. Finally, Wario is also notorious for his combo potential, which can not only rack up damage quickly but also set up into a KO confirm, most notably [[Wario Waft]]. As such, Wario has the best comeback potential in the game.
Wario is currently ranked 20th out of 82 characters on the current ''Ultimate'' [[tier list]], being in the A tier; a massive improvement from his tier placement in ''Smash 4'' where he was ranked 40th out of 54 in the E tier, and is his best placement in the series. Wario's greatest strength is his aerial game: he has one of the fastest [[air acceleration]] and [[air speed]] in the game which, coupled with a set of strong and versatile aerials, allows him to dominate in the air.

Finally, Wario is also notorious for his combo potential, which can not only rack up damage quickly but also set up into a KO confirm, most notably [[Wario Waft]]. As such, Wario has the best comeback potential in the game.


Despite these strengths, Wario has several weaknesses that hold him back. The most notable weakness is his poor [[neutral game]]: his relatively short range and lack of projectiles make him vulnerable towards characters that can overwhelm, juggle, or outrange him. In addition, Wario's best KO options all have their drawbacks: his forward tilt, back air, and all his smash attacks have either high end lag or slow startup while dash attack has noticeable sourspots. Finally, whiffing Waft means Wario loses his best comeback factor, as it can take a bit to even get to half-Waft.
