Charizard Matchup Discussion - Bowser

[Swamp Sensei]

The king of koopas is just as hot and spicy as we are.

So who's spicier?

Quick bullet points.

-We have better mobility, we gotta keep as mobile as possible.
-Don't get grabbed.
- Bowser struggles against flamethrower, harass him with it.
-Try to zone bowser as much as possible. bair outspaces everything he has.
-Don't get grabbed.
-If you have to engage on cqc remember his jab outspaces our jab.
-Respect his shield. his oos is pretty good.
-Don't get grabbed.
-We juggle him better than he juggles us. Fun fact u-tilt beats bowser bomb and dair.
- Respect his f-tilt.
-Go ham on him offstage, but beware his comand grab.
- Don't get grabbed.

Fun fact u-tilt beats bowser bomb and dair.

Is...

Is this actually true?

Because that's amazing if it is.

i'm pretty sure it is. U-tilt is heavily disjointed while as far as im concerned neither dair nor bowser bomb have any kind of invincibility to them. U-tilt beats a surprising amount of stuff, including link's dair for example.
You can fly him on reaction too if you want, its way easier than trying to u-tilt at the right time. specially since bowser does a hop before Dair that makes timing the u-tilt rather tricky.

Mmm yeah, basically Bowser's main advantage here is he has more reliable KO power with his grab stuff but overall, we abuse advantage better than he does (we gimp him harder than he gimps us btw).

I do have to say.

I think it's the closest matchup to 50/50 we have.
