Bowser Jr. takes more damage?

[BigHairyFart]

During some practice just now I found that Bowser Jr. seems to take more damage from our attacks. F-Throw>Bouncing Fish does 21% instead of 19% like the rest of the cast(haven't tested with everybody). Was this known?

Jr takes more damage if he's hit on his physical body and not the clown car. Not sure if that's exactly what's going on, but probably dat

He takes more damage and knockback from all attacks if you hit his body but less if you hit the car.

The speed you have for headshotting him like a sniper (especially with moves like FAir, NAir, and Bouncing Fish) is one of many reasons why this MU is generally in your favor. This fact is why you'll see many a Jr player try to hold the high ground against you, particularly with Side B Jump Cancels. Whenever he's getting hit, he'll want you to hit his Car instead to reduce your gains.

I never knew that was a thing. Interesting.
