A favor for the Bowser forums

[Flayl]

We at the Bowser forums are comically understaffed when it comes to tests that require more than one person.

So I come here, to the other side of the issue, that is a far more popular character: MK

The question is very simple: Can Bowser's reversed UTilt hit MK while he is trying to DAir->jump->DAir->etc. ?

This requires a player that knows how to space DAirs and whoever (seriously no Bowser main required).

Have the Bowser, with his back to you, spam Utilts. Your goal is to succesfully DAir his head.

Thanks in advance.

If I can get to my Wii tonight I will, or maybe tomorrow in my break between classes.

bump .

Man, I totally forgot about this. Let me go test it right now. I won't be able to get back to the internet till this evening when I'll post the result.

 

[8AngeL8]

Sorry I took so long. Bowser WILL hit MK if he times it right.

 

[Donkey Bong]

yup totally legit, the timing is pretty tight though

 

[Flayl]

Thanks a lot guys

As it is, it seems Bowser can give MK a hard time (relatively speaking?). But since he will get heavily punished if he makes a mistake I doubt it'll go past neutral.

 

[8AngeL8]

Nah, it's still MK's favor. MK has so many options to use against bowser that removing the viability of his dair in certain situations doesn't matter too much.

Well we have an answer for tornado, FAir, DSmash, DAir... not many options remaining.

I find a good Bowser to be an annoying match-up for Meta Knight. It's a lot like the Donkey Kong match-up in that he outranges you on a lot of his moves. I'd say it's 60:40 in Meta Knight's favor. Donkey Kong is considered to be almost neutral/slight advantagel at 55:45, and I think he gives Meta Knight a harder time than Bowser.

Um, Bowser has a chain on MK. I don't believe this is true of DK.

 

[AndrewCarlson]

Doesn't Donkey Kong have a longer reach as well as faster speed than Bowser? I find the former harder to approach personally.

Good MKs won't let themselves get grabbed as easily as you make it sound.


The DK match-up is harder than the Bowser match-up.

MK can avoid grabs better than anyone. Having a chain on him doesn't mean the advantage, unfortunately.
