I really liked this thread.
It points out the do's and the dont's with bowser along with why he isn't the worste character.
It sure helped me understand bowser, because I also thought bowser was the worste character (that and pichu..)

I also noticed in the thread that you only put 2 other chars under bowser - Mewtwo and Pichu. Does that mean you think Bowser is the 3rd worst overall character?

Great thread, enjoyed reading.

Gimpy, even though this is really really really really old, it's still great! Made me want to have Boozer as my secondary, just to lay the hurt on people. Way to represent the cutest character in the game, with Jiggly and Pichu a close 2nd/3rd.

Hmm...I have no idea whether anyone knows this, it's probably been found already. I just thought I'd mention it. I was screwing around with Bowser, I played a Jigglypuff, down-threw him and proceeded to combo...when I noticed that the down-throw hadn't done any damage, just knockback. I tried doing it to Jigglypuff on different stages, still no damage. Tried it at different percentages for both characters, no damage.

Just curious to see if anyone knew this.

P.S I looked up a few Gimpyfish matches on Youtube and dude you make Bowser look easy^^.

I finally made a post in here after reading the essay and every post in this thread, lol. Good sh*t to Gimpy for the informative essay and backing up Bowser. I don't care how many disadvantages Bowser has and how easily he can get pwned. I'm always gonna have him as my main and use him in tournaments like I always do regardless of anything. It's priceless to see the look on people's faces when they lose to a Bowser in tournament, especially after making it far into a tournament when they've beaten alot of high tier users, lol. Besides, Bowser's too cute and sexy. :)

I wanna have a Bowser crew battle, lol. It'll be me, Warrior Knight, and Bum versus any other three Bowser players. Who's up for the challenge?
