Personally, while I don't nessisarilly hate Waluigi by any means, ((It would be nice if he were to appear in an actual Wario game though.)) I agree 100% that Syrup should have been in the sports/party games from the start. Especially if they wanted the "Wa-Peach" so badly.
Yeah exactly, glad you agree to that. That seems to be a common misconception; Part of the reason we take so unkindly to Waluigi is the fact that he had no reason to exist. As you say, the fact they sat down and initialised the ‘Wa-Peach’ idea yet somehow didn’t think of Syrup just doesn’t add up.
We think that it wasn’t necessary for him to be invented, and hasn’t gained any merit since then. We feel that Waluigi only bogs Wario down, and reverts him back into mere tropes, since the implication is that anyone can just have a ‘Wa’ clone with no rhyme or reason. It would’ve been just as bad if Wa-Peach turned out to be what they ran with, really, in fact that probably would’ve been even worse given that Syrup is so suited to the role.
Nonetheless, thank you for your support. If you enjoy seeing Syrup in the Sports and Party games in this way, you can expect more content about it in the near future C: We really appreciate it when people see the value in our viewpoint, thanks so much.
