If Bowser has no approach options then he should definitely have better "get off me" options. Perhaps if he had next to no lag when he clanked no matter what he clanked with; perhaps if firebreath had less startup/endlag/could be cancelled with shield etc, perhaps if Tough Guy interacted...

What's there to say, really? Bowser has no tech, he's an underused character, and he's very straightforward. I know we recently found backwards fair to bair but that's probably about all we're going to see any time soon. We're done. I just don't think there's anything left for Bowser. How many...

I don't think eating a huge chunk of damage is the best answer. Impaling yourself on someone's sword just to get stage control is a little detrimental to self, don't you think?

No it does not, but it gets really close. Yoshi is a nightmare for Bowser to deal with, too, so if your pockets have even a marginally better chance against Yoshi, I'd practice with them more.

Then it sounds like we should raise some alarms and see if we can't get a suicide clause put in. There's no reason to nerf a mid-tier character. Obviously results screen should win but if it goes to sudden death out of a suicide KO then the winner should be move-initiator.

Wait, so that's the generally accepted rule now? Suicide KOs just do a rematch upon sudden death? Christ, that's awful.

Hey, can I get in?

Christ. It was gunning on Ganon's side the entire time. We all knew it would go this way but Bowser just kinda got walked over. I wouldn't have been too bothered by it since I knew Ganon would win, but when Bowser in giant form punched Ganon, the fact he just caught the fist and stopped it...

I like yellow Bowser since it makes me think "saiyan." I'd use it if I honestly believed myself to be super pro, as that's what I think the skin is for lmao.

With the increased weight, I thought we might also have a little buff to Tough Guy, but the weight change is so small that the change was more than just insignificant - we can't armor Luigi's fireball any later than we could pre-patch.

I agree 100%. Just because it's lame doesn't mean it's bad, though. Early and safe are fine by me. Nothing wrong with playing lame.

Undoubtedly placebo. Bowser being untouched is good, we've had nothing but buffs since launch. Now that we're in a solid spot, it's better than getting nerfs. Furthermore, top tiers got nerfed, and that was a serious issue we needed addressed. Hell yeah!

Actually had to rely on a lot of my uthrow uair kills to secure stocks at my tourney today, felt a little lame but I was okay with that. Only dropped two matches, both during grand finals. Good time to be shown a challenge, I'd say.

Nah, that's retro Bowser. The colors from the old Super Mario Bros.

As hard as I try to get angled ftilt to help deal with sh aerial spam, I just haven't been able to use it effectively. I'm not sure it helps.
