    Thoughts on Bowser online?

    You should be getting a lot of different answers because this will come down to connection and who you're fighting. Zone breaking, for instance, can be harder with a worse connection because any amount of delay or lag can cause players to throw out moves in order to compensate. This will further...

    I can beat my friend unless he’s mega man

    It depends on how you're fading, using your aerial resources for recovery, and how willing you are to escape to ledge and aim for a reset. In general, Bowser does not have a strong mix-up game for landing. If you get put in disadvantage, you can expect to take a lot of free damage. What's...

    Should I learn the matchups or get a secondary?

    We do have examples of people who power through these MUs. LeoN and DeluxeMenu are probably the best examples. That said, you should not be pressured to emulate their model of success. A lot of people feel more confident and have had success with secondaries to cover MUs that their main has a...

    Best landing options for bowser?

    Your mixups will always be limited, so you have to save your jump. Depending on the character, you may be forced to escape to ledge for a reset. If the opponent throws a move too early, you can potentially air dodge down or whiff punish with DAir. If the opponent plays too safe, you can...

    Welcome to Smash Ultimate Bowser - Introduction and Q&A Thread

    It's the increased input delay. Otherwise, the autocancel for SH BAir is the same as always. Actually, we move better because our run acceleration was improved from Smash 4.

    How to deal with young link as bowser?

    Tournament footage is not as helpful for online play since local matches will feature strategies that aren't possible or much more difficult to pull off due to wifi input lag. With local, things like the start up for pulling out a bomb is a significant period of time, and Links are forced to...

    Why we, Bowser mains are not appreciated ?

    The world at large will not care. If your local scene has issues with Bowser, then the best you can do is continue to use Bowser and patiently explain to those that care to listen to you. Do not work yourself up over people who hate you or your character. You don't play for them. Play for yourself.

    Having MU troubles with Bowser

    Banjo isn't a bad pick if you're having trouble, but often times with Bowser it's an issue of player-to-player. On the ground, Bowser's arms are swords and he has no problem going toe-to-toe against the likes of Marcina. Projectile characters like Link and TLink often have blind spots in their...

    Smashboards Staff Predicts the Next DLC Character

    It's not a big deal. I'm sure when they made that comment they were ready to throw down against every Asian in their area that has been alive since 2004. Oda Nobunaga, Ryu Hayabusa, 2B a trash pick, hahahahahaha.

    There won't be any main character Discords for Smashboards. However, if you google Smashcords, you'll find well established character Discords there. @Xelrog

    It's another kill move, threatens a large amount of space, and can be used off stage much the same way Ike's FAir can be used. Bowser can jump off stage, FAir, double jump, FAir, and still up b back onto stage. Low % FAir can also force tech chases. It reaches high above Bowser, catching enemies...

    We don't know. LeoN is proving that we still have a lot to learn about what people think are losing MUs.

    Any tips for being better with Bowser ?

    Good place to start would be this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB988vY4v7I

    Social The Coney Island Disco Palace, A.K.A Bowser's Social thread!

    To kill early you usually rely on edge guards. A stray FSmash is just a reward for calling your opponent out. If your opponent is around 130, you should aim for FAir, BAir, Uair, Klaw, DSmash, UTilt, or FTilt to help kill. FThrow and BThrow are also strong enough to kill at the edge of a stage...

    Why is Bowser such a low risk high reward character ?

    FSmash does not have invincibility. It has start-up % based armor and intangible feet. The only move with invincibility is USmash, which has shell invincibility, but that move has limited use in Ultimate thanks to the speed of most characters and the new air dodge mechanic (you have to wait till...
