I would like to answer your question with another question... How can Captain Falcon.. Someone who only drives cars have such a unique moveset?

But to answer your question, Bowser Jr is not light, hes more in the weight class of Samus, or Yoshi.. And he has unique capabilities.. like his Paintbrush, transformation, shell spawn... he could even have different moves to use his shell with that Bowser does not have.

DeuceBlade makes a valid point, Bowser and Bowser Junior are nearly two different characters that are related, much like how Diddy and DK are related, if I'm not mistaken. Or another example is Mario and Luigi. Sure, there's more Mario games, making his moves more unique, but Luigi has evolved throughout his career. When comparing his gameplay in SSB and SSBM, he was less of a clone of Mario and more of a seperate character.l

Bowser Junior would be a middle-weight, even if he is smaller than Bowser, which should make him lighter. He is nearly Mario's height though, and with his hard bony shell, he would be considerably heavier. He would use his paint brush, I would hope, to extend his reach about equal to Bowser's reach when he's at regular size. He could use his brush to create a gust of wind as his Up-B, mush like when you had to chase Shadow Mario through Pianta Village.

He has more potential than Geno, even if Geno has more fans. He has been in more games than Geno, I'm guessing around 10 now, compared to Geno's 1 role and 1 guest appearance. Bowser Junior is all around a good character, and may, hopefully, be an unlockable, much like Pichu was unlockable in Melee.

Well, think of it this way.

Bowser's power, lessened, but not by much, into a smaller, faster package, with a high potential for a move set and uniqueness.

Can't go wrong. And who doesn't love Bowser Jr? XD Hell, he'd be a favorite of mine, if they added him in.

He'd easily have a unique moveset

Hes been in all the recent mario games pretty much and is a now stable mario character. He appeared in Super Mario Sunshine, New Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Galaxy along with other spin offs like Mario Power Tennis. He's Bowsers sidekick, like Diddy to DK.

He has to be in. :)

this thread isn't about bowser

as much as i love bowser jr and want him in, this doesn't belong here, and there already are bowser jr topics on the character forums
