If no one does it by the US launch, I'll make a list of everything that Bowser can take without suffering hitstun at low percents. This has the potential to be really handy.

Alot of people will forget this at first, and after killing a Bowser player will try and start a new combo with one of the weaker fast moves-
setting us up for a really nice F Smash revenge kill! >:D

This is fantastic news for Bowser. Weaker attacks I'm assuming would be Gatling jabs (:4fox::4sheik:) or really just everyone's jab1 & jab2. Some Jab3's that are fairly powerful knock-back especially :4falcon:, probably wouldn't be on the list of weaker attacks, but mostly I'd say multi-hits would go into the "Weaker attacks" department.

Hopefully it's not just Bowser, but all Very Heavy characters who may share this trait. Mostly thinking about these, Bowser being the signature Tough Guy:

Just for the lols, he should have a custom move where he can resist all powerful attacks but die to jabs.

Warlock Punch? DK Punch? Wario Waft? PK Flash? Charge Beam? All Final Smashes? Bowser doesn't even flinch.

Pikachu jab? Instant KO.

I was playing the demo last night, and one of the hints said that you could alter the Whirling Fortress's trajectory slightly by mashing the B button, similar to the Luigi Cyclone. I don't have the full game, so if someone could experiment with this it would be handy. It might give him more of a vertical recovery.

EDIT: Did a little more searching and found that this was already known. I didn't see it on the first page, though, and as minimal as the height might be, any little bit will help the Koopa King.
