I have. I urge you to try it yourself. I did this in wii u and unlike lucario mewtwo lacks aura.
Oh, I should mention that tough guy hasn't changed in the patch, in case anybody was wondering. And Bowser can only armor two of Mewtwo's moves while crouching, not standing. The values are:
Elaborate pls.
If you condition a person to shield with SH Fair's and then do Jab 1 to Bowser Bomb a shield break is bound to happen.
I have to try doing a Bowser Bomb out of a running charge. I'm going to see how this starts to pan out. Thanks!
Aerial Dash Slash let's you do anything immediately as soon as you land after the slash so you can possibly legit combo right into anything you want. Should work nicely at low percents. And if they get put at the edge when it happens they could fall to their death off a shield break.
Bowser Bomb is the premier "hard punish" tool of Bowser's. If somebody does something very unsafe like using a smash attack on your shield or mispacing an aerial. You can punish with the Bomb rather than a grab. The rising hit comes out on Frame 11, which is only four frames after your jab (7). Now, Bowser's jab is excellent and gives you plenty of options for followup, but if the opponent has enough damage already, Bowser Bomb deals a concise 24% damage and will kill off the top at very reasonable percents (as early as 90 or higher on middle weights). The only move of Bowsers that gives you more reward on hit confirm than Bomb is Fsmash, but that comes out on Frame 22, making it twice as slow. Bowser Bomb does not require hard reads, in fact you shouldn't read with it. Making your opponent shield out of habit is very real. Because if the rising hit does strike their shield, the only thing they can do to escape the shield break is dodge roll. A fully charged Fsmash will be your punish when you do break a shield, and that will kill at dirty percents. The act of breaking their shield might send them helpless over a ledge as well, resulting in a kill.
The circumstances to use bomb are usually one of the following...
Bowser Bomb is one of Bowser's best moves in this game, PERIOD. Use it as a hard read and punish your opponent for it--just like Bowser's Brawl fsmash was used for hard reads. And like it's been said previously, if someone's shielding near the ledge, Bowser Bomb will break their shield (and they'll fall offstage to their doom to boot).
Smash is a game where barely anything is truly safe on block though, since powershielding is a thing and stuff is really just unsafe in general. Jab and Dtilt are pretty damn safe considering though. Jab 1 because the frames are good and Dtilt because your opponent is pushed 5 feet away and is forced to shield the 2nd hit regardless if they powershield or not. These are the only moves you would conceivably poke your opponent with anyway. Ftilt isn't and never was a good poke. It's only really useful as an anti-air.
It seems to me people typically discuss uses for moves there.
Great tool for snatching up Sonic out his spin dash or Yoshi and Jiggz out of their roll attacks.
I was just doing that in training against a Lvl9. Feels great.
Crossunder pivot grab is great on falling opponents.
MrEh
, I'd like to point out that he has super armors and drawback on his FSmash. Not sure how much better or worse that is compared to Bowser's UpBOoS and Jab traps though.
A missed Dair is VERY punishable, though. You absolutely cannot use it when the opponent is on or near the ground.
