Against spacies and generally anyone character that prefers a straight-ish horizontal recovery versus a vertical one.
Also general things.
Hanging from the ledge while opponent is recovering:
You can ledgehop a bair or an uair with little to no consequence and kill at mid percents and maybe lower, depending on who your opponent is.
If you are under 100% you can ledge attack (it will knock them backwards if they are behind you) and drop a bair on them depending on how they react.
Jump from ledge (not ledgehop, press jump while still holding onto ledge) and do a turnaround-b to get them lower. If they DI towards you to get back on the ledge, that's more free damage for you. If they DI away, you can get on the ledge and "do something crazy" as Milln would say... (but he mains Lucario who, incidentally, also has crazy edge game)
Standing near ledge while opponent is recovering:
Condition them to think straight horizontal approach is safe, then punish with Fire Breath.
Once they get used to that, they will most likely
a) recover from just a little higher, or much higher, depending on their preferences or
b) go straight for the ledge
If they go for the ledge, you can send a stream of fire breath to rack up some percent, or just a flame tickle to stun so you can get on the edge.
If they go for the higher recovery option, which they will think is safe because no one expects this, you can interrupt with an uair or usmash, which will kill them on any stage because of the low ceilings, and since they are off the stage, they are probably at mid percents, which makes this option particularly lethal and tasty.
I felt like keeping this to myself at first, but seeing the bowser boards a bit lacking for mindgame strategies, I contributed. Gotta help out mah fellow Bowser mains.
Discuss. :D
P.S. I'm now naming my next pet Bowser. How badass does a dog named Bowser sound? Especially the 80 lb. + ones?
Also, at a tournament, I told someone I main Bowser, and they laughed at me.
I plan on three stocking them next time I see them.
Edit: Also, I'm looking for someone to make me a kickass sig.
If you're interested, pm me and we'll discuss the details.
