I didn't bring up real world anywhere. It doesn't make sense in any way to have a character that doesn't use explosives and is a heavyweight to have A attacks that are weaker than the explosive's guy. Yes Snake is poorly balanced that way, but Bowser is also weaker than DK, Ganondorf, King Dedede, Game and Watch, etc.
You need to have strengths that make up for those weaknesses, and Bowser doesn't have them, not enough I mean.
We'll agree to disagree.
First you whine about Snake being heavier than Bowser vertically, than you complain about Ganon being stronger.
To begin, Bowser is the heaviest horizontally, and the fourth heaviest vertically. So what if he's lighter than Snake vertically? He's the 2nd fastest out of the four heaviest characters. That says something. You don't hear us Ganon mains complaining about him being ligther than Snake, both vertically and horizontally, slower than all the characters who're heavier than him (in the air as well), and to top it off AS heavy as Falcon.
Ganon may be stronger overall, but Bowser could put his strength to better use. For example - Faster, less laggier attacks (Jab, Dtilt, Utilt).
Seriously, Bowser mains shouldn't be the one complaining.
