Any advice on how to deal with Bowser Jr?

[betaclay]

I don't know if I'm the only one having trouble with Bowser Jr, I just can't seem to get close to him. Anytime he lays down a Mechakoopa, my gordos are suddenly useless because if the gordo so much as bumps the Mechakoopa, it gets sent barreling back at me.

Anyone have any advice on how to deal with him? I'm considering learning a secondary Mario to deal with characters like him, Samus, and Rosalina. Thoughts?

Dee has alot of frame traps. Fair and Nair can be almost free if used right especially with characters like Bowser Jr who can be punished easy.try whiffing safe airs and jabs to bait something to punish. I would only use lite gordos against the edge to add pressure for a spike

I would say use your Inhale more and try and bait them into a Rocket Hammer. I only use Gordo when they try and aerial me or edgeguard. at least with a ranged matchup, i try to catch my gordo and throw it back should it get reflected. they never expect it.

I never find myself using the rocket hammer, what is the best way to utilize it?

A safe and easy way to use the rocket hammer is when your opponent is landing or coming back from the edge. Of course, never charge it for long as it is predictable and very punishable after about a second.
