Smash Lord
I'd like to make a proposition.
I don't want to clutter up the Q&A thread with this stuff but I figured it may be a good idea to look over some of the more gimmicky and theorycrafty stuff related to Bowser. This thread has two major purposes, the first is to be a fun and experimental thread where we take a hard look over the character and look for any possible things which we may have overlooked so far in the metagame. At the same time, things discovered here, if any, which are confirmed will be added to the Bowser Encyclopedia.
I figured that players might see the Encyclopedia thread as a discussion thread, which is true but I want to keep it as much as possible to a purely factual discussion and let players channel all creative energies here to this thread which will be a more theory-based and experimental discussion.
For example, I really think we might benefit greatly if we look further into all the different ways Bowser can shift his hurtbox around. Yes, we all know about Forward Smash but how about Forward tilt? I've only seen a few remarks on that one. How about Up smash? I've only seen a few remarks there as well, did you know that sliding up smash goes underneath most short hops? Aren't most forward and back airs blind underneath the character? Furthermore, who would expect the big guy to be able to fit his massive frame under them when they tried to space a short-hopped aerial? How many people know that he can? Seems like a pretty viable mix-up there, of course I'm sure most of the experienced players know this and probably use it already but what about the newer and less experienced players? I have not seen any documentation on it though so I can't know for sure if this is really a known fact. Therein lies one of the major hurdles for new mains to this character, which I fully intend to remedy though this thread as well as the encyclopedia thread.
I think it might be best to actually use this thread as more of a hub than the main area of discussion. We could use Skype to actually discuss things which would be faster and a bit cleaner overall since Things could be posted neatly here instead of players having to sift through everything on their own; what do you guys think about that?
We could compile stuff here cleanly and maybe post the logs from Skype as well. Then maybe some light discussion here in the thread while letting people propose new topics for Skype discussion. Oz seems good at organizing Skype discussions so I could put him in charge of getting everyone together then anyone that wants to contribute just joins in and we chat.
By the way. Anyone who is interested in this would just apply by PMing me their Skype names and I'll compile the list together so we can get the group started.
