@Cool Trainer Ace I'm wondering which parts you're struggling with. Obviously if you show us a video we can better explain it, but you can just describe the things that you find hard to deal with. Fairly normal bowser play should theoretically beat this.

He's Zero. He was just talking about how lucario was top tier. He's said that roy was top tier and that he predicted that Shulk was going to become top tier. Zero is will put any hot character of the month in top tier. I mean just logically where would Zero place Bowser on the tier list...

A few common ways to get kills via edguard onstage: - 2 frame recoveries with downward tilted ftilt/dtilt - dsmash near the edge. It covers literally every option. after like 160 it's almost guaranteed since ledge invincibility is limited. - pivot grab. There are two locations you can do it...

Another thing to point out is that you actually get less hitstun from tipper jab 1's as opposed to very close ones. You may not want to waste your frame trap opportunity on a second jab 1 if you are already close.

You say you have trouble approaching reactive characters like Ganondorf and Little Mac. Interestingly these characters have trouble approaching Bowser as well. My guess is the style you're typically seeing is a lot of noncommital jabs, rolls, safe aerials from ganon, fox trotting, etc ... What...

I'm pretty sure DI up actually does work. In the Bowser ditto it's actually really good at minimizing the window where up air works.

Really you just need to go into practice mode and practice at both the low level limits and the high level limits of the characters. I think the trickiest bit is that you never want to mash jump. You want to time it right so that you get the earliest jump after the up throw animation. After that...

If you want to use vanilla controls you can also do it without the c stick. It just takes some practice. I've been in the lab learning it and it's just a muscle memory thing. First practice doing a short hop fair with no movement. Do it like 10 times in a row. Now try to add movement. Obvious...

The main advantage of bowser on a tri platform stage is that if you get a klaw, you can often take your opponent to the top platform for an earlier kill. The secondary benefits are that you should be able to get landing traps on mario, almost as much as he can get them on you. When people land...

@JayDeth @pitfall356. Much of the discussion that use to happen here now happens on Discord.

The short version is that approach using dashing shield until you push them into a corner. At that point they have to make some sort of decision. You read that decision, and you make a read and get crazy damage. For instance: * A very common loop you'll see with pikachu players is that they...

You might want to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-QMlsni7ko Recovery: I hear this complaint a lot by commentators that don't really know Bowser. That Bowser is super easy to gimp. Bowser has like a TOOON of mixup potential because he can wait so long before committing to...

These are amazing! Particularly the reverse fair stuff. I remember @KingKong_ad found some true fair combos in the neutral but the applicability seemed questionable. This seems strictly better than up throw bair or up throw nair since it does like 40%. It does require some DI read but a lot of...

I think i discovered something potentially interesting. At 0% you can get a footstool off ZSS. I know that dair is guaranteed off of footstool so at the very least we turned a 19% upthrow -> up tilt combo into a seemingly guaranteed up throw -> footstool -> dair combo for 24%. At 1/4 speed I...

That's actually the easier edgeguard to deal with. If Vinnie knew what he was doing he would have done this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i20frL-tzKs. That one is pretty much impossible to deal with. Even if you land on the stage they have enough time to end jab and charge up smash.
