How does one move so fast with Bowser?

[Nomzr]

Specifically referring to the Bowser here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meBD-qiNGnQ

Is he wavelanding onto the platforms? Is he wavedashing a lot? It feels like when I try to play Bowser fast, with many short-hops into Nairs and Fairs it doesn't go as well. I do SHFFL as well.

Is there something I'm missing? Like a trick that only applies to Bowser?

nah it's simply just an understanding of bowser's weight/fall speed, and tech skill with regards to those slightly odd physics.

This is the one of the better Bowsers I've seen in terms of understanding the armor and trade offs, and baiting devastating punishes, I love it haha yo if you see this CanD come to Apex or somethin

 

[Nomzr]

I really want to see more of him, I hope he shows up for Apex and other tourneys.

You should take a long, hard look at this video and try and break down and repeat what he's doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gvoJSlFQUU

I swear Deff is hacking whenever I watch him play.. those Wavedash's go so far..

 

[Kerfuffle]

I just don't understand how he gets any distance out of those moonwalks... I just can't replicate it

 

[Jacob29]

moonwalking out of a wavedash adds a lot of distance to it. same with walking.

It's how Fox/Falco/Marth can moonwalk too, they can't normally do it at all, but they can from a walk/wavedash.
