What is this I dont even
Battlefield is a double edged sword for Bowser. Very much so.
Bowser can have either the great advantage here, or a great disadvantage.
If Bowser is above someone, you'll have a hell of a time getting back down. Juggling is easy here, and with the safety of the platforms, down b can't save you. It is possible to down b to ledge, but if predicted, an edgehog is possible, costing a stock.
A lot of characters have humongous advantages on the stage, too; like Metaknight, Samus, and Snake; they will all **** you here. Though it is winnable, it isn't easy (but is it ever?).
Koopahopping's effect is greatly diminished here. Unless you pass through the 'forms, you'll just keep landing on them. However, this does not mean you can't use them to gain a height boost. It requires more thinking, however.
Bowser still has some perks on Battlefield which makes it one of his better stages, assuredly. His upsmash, when charging, takes him below striking distance when used under a platform; you're virtually unpunishable when charging if they are straigh above you, and if they try and airdodge, catch them right when they land, and boom.
His up smash just ***** through the platforms regardless; if they shield, it will knock them off, ready for punishment. Maybe an ftilt, fsmash? His up tilt can be used the same way. If shielded, it knock them off, and if they dont, they go flying. It's a win-win and very effective.
Up air throguh platforms equals ****. Ok
