Bowsercide failing?

I plan on using Bowsercide at Gamestop, just because no one will expect it, or DI it, etc. (no one is going to this Gamestop, basically). My Bowser isn't all that bad, so I'm just going for it. However, recently we've been playing 1 stock matches just to get a bunch of matches in with the Wiichuks for me and my friends, and the Bowser suicide is bringing us to sudden death.

What affects this? It's happening nearly every single time. We started experimenting with it, no DI for either character. We even tried opponent no DI and Bowser DI up.

Have you tried using the suicide when you're up one stock? Because this has never happened to me. Supposedly as you slam the other character off the screen with the klawcide, you're supposed to stay just above the point of death, so that when it says "GAME" you freeze/slow down so that you don't die.

Everytime I did it I won. I don't know what causes the Sudden Death.

question: all those that win, are you player 1, all those that draw, are you player 2-4? and those that are 1/2 1/2, do you change?

I'm pretty sure its a first player>second player>third player>fourth player priority rule
It works when I'm first, but didn't once when I was second

Yeah...I tested it and the 1st>2nd>3rd>4th player rule applies to the Bowsercide. But what will this do to tournament play? Will Bowsers fight for first player or will they just eventually decide that bowser gets the win ingnoring the SD?

No, if the opponent runs out of stocks, it doesn't matter if you die because they died first.
That's strange. Every time I've used it, no sudden death.
