Today I learned Bowser's crouch comes out as fast as shine, and a crouching Bowser doesn't get knocked back by shine. I'm still new, and all I really know how to do is SHFFL Nair-shine/Dair-shines, but they're completely ineffective. How can I win this matchup?

But how do I get a grab? Bowser's crouch-cancel d-tilt seems to be disjointed and completely stops my grounded approaches (and I can't approach from the air as stated above).

All of Bowsers moves are very high commitment, so DD in and out of his effective range to bait things out while SH DLing him to rack damage and as soon as he whiffs run in and grab him.

I see. The prerequisite being: don't let Bowser get you in a corner (on FD)
