PM Bowser's Broken - A Guide to, well, PM Bowser!

Just talks a bit about each of Bowser's moves, not very helpful.

Admitably, it has been a very old guide for an older version of Bowser, and you're right in the fact that it doesn't teach much. Just ignore the guide. Wasn't much.
It's more of an overview than a guide. Doesn't really talk about netural, edgeguarding or match ups.
this guide was great i'm trying to play competitive smash and i wanted to main bowser (and roy) and this review really helped. now i just gotta learn to wavedash, no matter how much i try i just can't do it
Excellently explains the metagame and ideal moves to use for Bowser. Would like to see a section on crouch armor and how it can be used (if it is even helpful).

If I ever plan an entirely new guide for PM Bowser, which I wanna do whenever I don't have homework or anything else to do, then that guide is going to state way more important detail than the current version. Glad you enjoyed the guide! Despite how old it is.
A guide in good progress: entails a broad use of how to use his attacks, as well as excellent amount of hype leading to the "bread-and-butter" attacks. I, honestly, do think that this guide could use a little improvement (i.e, using Spoiler Hiding) and a little frame data (If you don't, I won't blame you - Frame Data is a monster of a topic; to give you an idea of how this should be organized, refer to Sethlon's guide to PM Roy). I suggest you also include mobility options and a detailed description as to his "armor" mechanic. Please include follow up options for his attacks (generally for space animals, like Wolf) and advanced techniques, like Flame Canceling and Fortress Hogging. My final request is probably a pain in the arse, but still, could you try to find a way to not make this guide "too" opinionated, but still interesting to read (the emotion in this is amazing!)? Again, a good guide in progress.

Thanks. I really need to just redo this guide over again. I feel as if almost everything could be improved (now that I have access to frame data via PM debug mode, still is a lot of work).
Up + B 3stronk5me
-Needs frame data/hitboxes
-It's called armor, not superguard
-You summed up the neutral game to "sit in shield and upB", which is totally wrong (talk more about other things)
-you forgot to talk about dash attack
-A lot of the stuff you say is wrong (dashdancing with bowser)
-Calling everything Side-something when it should be Front-something
-Forgot to mention fortress hogging
-Bowser was already one of the worst characters in the game prior to brawl
-He's still **** tier
-Forgot to talk about crawl/cc
It's good, but it needs some pictures. Also, aMSa defeated M2K because M2K cracks under pressure.

As for the icon, I tried. Apperently it didn't work. There's probably a way I can add pictures here, but I don't exactly know how or even which pictures or gifs to put on here. Even a way I can make my own?

Although glad you enjoyed the guide.
The guide was very informative and was very detailed on all of Bowser's moveset.

With that said, the description of using the moves and how to work with them seem kind of unnecessary. Also the body paragraph and the ending of the guide can be touched up a little. Perhaps recheck some of the spelling errors and separate the paragraphs a little more to bring the attention to them more.

Other than that, this was a very interesting and very informative guide.

P.S. Now I finally know what to do against my little brother >:D
