bowser advice?

[Raioneru]

i read the guides and i think i got a very good insight on how to use bowser, but i feel like there is some advice i need that isn't in any of these guides. anyone know? like fastfalling and crap? i never seem to know when to fastfall.

Edit: or to put it more bluntly. i always forget to use fastfall or what moves i should fastfall.

 

[B!squick]

Yeah, it's called experience. Only you can teach youself that.

 

[Raioneru]

ahh i suppose so, but i always seem to fight average players at best, so i don't think my experience is really increasing ya know?

Plus 1 point for JayDeth and his wisdom.

 

[Red Arremer]

Experience is always increasing.

Try attending more tournaments or events of that sort.

well you wanna know whats funny? i found out there was a tournament here today, but didn't know until 1 hour ago.


i hate wifi so much, cause of the button delay, but its the only time i can play people unless i visit indiana university or go to terra haute, which is once a month or so.

That's called irony. Or "s*** happens". It happens all the time. Just regularly check the subforum of your region and try to attend events/tournaments.

 

[Raioneru]

Alright then! I'm gonna check it regularly now, since i'm a member. Thanks for the words of encouragement guys lol

Get a friend who's into the game and play a lot? It's hard to tell someone how to get better, but that's basically what you do.

Attend tourneys when you can, and smashfests regularly to adapt to different chars/playstyles

Bowser doesn't have the best air game so for the most part stay grounded
If you cant find anybody to play with except the people you are playing now and cant attend tournaments I'd suggest getting a capture card and post a video of you facing somebody and post it in the critique thread so we can see what your doing wrong and what you need to improve on because right now you don't leave anything for us to work with.

 

[Raioneru]

i suppose i can do that. how much does a capture card cost?

 

[B!squick]

Or, you could just save a replay and send it to someone. >.>

 

[MrEh]

Best way to improve is to lose. By playing people better then yourself, you should naturally become better. Even if you don't notice it yourself. ^^

Of course, this becomes much easier if you know exactly what you're doing right or wrong. If you can somehow manage to get recordings of yourself playing, we can give you specific advice. Otherwise, we can only throw general tips and words of wisdom at you.

 

[Jonas]

Too bad Bowser players aren't particularly wise. If we were wiser, we would have picked a better character.

 

[Red Arremer]

Doesn't that apply to anyone not using a Top or High Tier?

 

[Raioneru]

ok so i don't have a web camera or any of that other crap so i figure i can record wifi matches uses the z button? but it can only be 3 minutes which means i would have to rush alot.

Yeah, if you were looking into softmodding you wii before, now would be the time so you can record full length. Other than that, convince your friend(s) to do 2 stock matches with you to meet the recording time.

Don't rush the match, just play how you normally play.

Also wifi matches are different than real matches due to lag. Probably best to get a vid of you in a game offline :D

If somebody finds a decent place that allows you to upload small files without great hassle, I'd be happy to make a youtube account just for bowser replays. Doing the double friend code is a mess and unviable since I already have 62 people on my FC list out of 64 =/

softmodding/homebrewing/etc. It means making your SD card be able to get data from your computer so you can alter the game. You'd want to get replay hacks if you can't afford a capture card.

 

[Raioneru]

imma do that then lol

What does this have to do with the original post?

This thread has served its purpose so to avoid people bumping it again, I'm closing it. Either way though, further questions like this should be fine for the Q&A thread.
