More often than not, Bowser Freezes the game before a match starts, right after selecting a stage. If by chance you get Bowser in random, the possibility exists that the game will freeze as well. This is doubly so when there are more than two combatants in a match. Sorry Bowser players. If you want to play with Bowser, It's about a 1/4 - 3/4 chance that the game will freeze upon selecting a stage. Some stages seem to be less affected, like Pokemon Stadium and Stadium 2. They are still prone to freezing, but are less likely to do so.
