Take one step, and then again.
Let's do the Mario, all together now!
Come on now. Just like that!


On Topic:

Don't get too excited, kids. I'd bet this is either not in the North American version or far less useful than you're all thinking it is.

FYI, I'm partial to calling it the Bowser Bounce.

I think this is a great tech. for improving his air game. He could chase someone in the air after hitting them up and keep the pressure in the air. Although im not entirely sure how good it'll be when theyre knocked out the stage

 

[RayLewis08]

This is basically an L cancel for bowser that requires him to use a certain move before hitting the ground. It isn't anything amazing. You actually land there is no lag on the next jump.

 

[trevbang]

That doesn't look like much of a glitch to me. It seems like it just eliminates landing lag. The fact that it only works over ground makes me think it was intended.

 

[Luigi player]

Wow, this is crazy! Pretty nice for Bowser mains I guess >_>

Yea but that is predictable. This isn't. Your opponent has no clue what you're going to do when you jump now.

You could just land, or you could use an air move, or you could use just a claw, or you could jump cancel the claw into just another jump, or you could jump cancel a claw into an air move, or you could jump cancel the claw into another claw, then you could jump cancel that into....

Do you see where I'm going with this? This gives you lots of attack options, not to mention that it is a faster way of covering ground for Bowser..

 

[Cyrlous]

Haha, so now we have a semi-broken Bowser. Klaw Hopping could very well revolutionize his entire playstyle.

 

[Mckillyou]

But, but Klaw-Dashing sounds so cool ; ;

Though that isn't even close to what it is

 

[Kira.]

Oh don't get me wrong, i like seeing the glass half full as well. I'm hoping this makes bowser powerful enough to contend with the big boys (marth, falco, fox) but i also dont want this to make bowser banned, or make it so that you only see bowser v bowser matches at all the tourney's. I really dont think that will happen though. I see this just as wakka444 said. Similar to samus superwavedash. Sure its nice and there are without a doubt situations where it comes in handy, but i think we can all agree in saying samus in melle wasnt broken at all.

 

[Help!]

i think gimpy ended the naming discussion soooo klaw jump canceling it is and you guys can stop trying to name it.

 

[Kira.]

In the church of Bowser, Gimpy is Pope. Therefore if he says its called klaw jump canceling, its called klaw jump canceling.

 

[Burning Soul]

Bowser for god tier?

 

[Cyrlous]

Wait, I thought it was Klaw Hopping? I'm confused now. Who named this thing anyways?

 

[wakka444]

GIMPY!!!!named it...

 

[TK Wolf]

Personally, I think Klaw Hopping is a cool name for it. Though I kind of hope it either gets patched out or isn't broken/overpowered.

 

[drengist]

That looks silly but I guess it's useful. Bowser is really interesting character.

 

[Undrdog]

lol... Turtle WoP...

 

[Cubemario]

Cool, nice to finally see something interesting.

 

[UrajKingofDarkness]

Man Gimpyfish, please stop these people from associating you with Bowser. It's even worse than everyone associating Marth with Nekromancer (better known as Ken). Only you can prevent it.

As someone looking forward to plenty of time with Bowser, I like the way this looks. It doesn't really seem to add a ton to his ground game, but it makes him just a bit more agile when jumping back and forth, which Bowser can definitely use. It's not like he's canceling the huge lag off of landing in the middle of a down or back air, though.

Also, does everyone really need to keep labeling things that are a bit out of the ordinary as "glitches"? A real glitch is libel to make the game crash or freeze....this isn't even close.

 

[Phlemingo]

Woah.........

 

[Xgamer245]

I was really worried that there might be a broken character showing its colors but then I was that it can't be used as a recovery move....

 

[red stone]

it'smerely doing a jump faster than normal. it's not giving you anything extra

 

[IWontGetOverTheDam]

Gimpy will be banned from tournaments.

 

[Chrnocide]

Doubt this will have any effect on tournies..

even with mindgames, putting this to proper use while worrying about an enemy can't be that simple.

 

[EpitomeX]

True. Unless you can use it while attempting to recover somehow.

 

[IWontGetOverTheDam]

Gimpy is one of the only pros who uses Bowser. How many people use Marth? Exactly.

 

[SJAK47]

I don't think it's necessarily broken, since it seems to be counterable...

 

[Lucas_User]

Interesting...

 

[Kryian]

Looks like the best and most viable use for this would be to always cover a jump-in Kooplex. If you jump at someone and get them, great. If you jump at someone and miss you can always jump away and cover yourself. Just have to hope that someone fast doesn't jump up and crush you during that second jump (Bowser doesn't have any good air moves that cover ground below him, so he WILL get owned from below).

 

[Espy Rose]

I know it's already been given a name, but from here on out I'm calling it the Wall of Klaw.

It rolls off my tongue so well.

 

[Repyh]

Huzzah gonna try this out soon :3

"Boozer hopping" xD

Stall at the lowest part of FD... and let them come and fall to their death :O

 

[flyingmule]

Some moves have little or no lag when they hit the ground. Please, stop trying to name everything. That is just the new landing lag system.

 

[Lupo Aro]

Hopefully this won't be removed from the NTSC-U version!

 

[Randofu]

Wait guys, I have a great name for this. Let's call it "Ink Dropping".

 

[Homelessvagrant]

well it may seem rather pointless now but I feel in the future it might turn out be a very vital move for Bowser users.

I wonder how the programmers could have missed this though. The last errors in the game dealt in a combination of attacking and short jumping. Sakurai purposelly brought shorthopping back so obviously he should have known to keep an eye on attack/ jump mechanics to make sure something like this doesn't happen. Oh well

 

[Desruprot]

Interesting...Add this to the techniques list

 

[Kiden4911]

I gotta agree with a lot of people here, while this looks cool I can't see any practical use of it. Any decent air attacks would destroy him while he'd doing this.

 

[erdrick9024]

Increased movement ability at the cost of possibly becoming patterned and predictable? Sounds neither broken nor useless, but it at least gives Bowser more options, which is never a bad thing.

As for naming it, I say call the base technique a Klaw jump cancel or a Klaw-cancelled jump, since that's what it is. However, I wouldn't object to the battle strategy of using it repeatedly being called Bowser Hopping, as a play on bunny hopping from various FPSes.

 

[Desruprot]

it could become of good use in SSE me thinks

 

[Seison]

This is very cool. I can't wait to see how this effects Bowser's metagame. What a versatile technique.

If you think that this is completely useless, you probably haven't played a lot of competitive smash. It may prove difficult to use effectively, but I have no doubt that Bowser mains will find some very useful applications.
