My brother always plays me as Bowser (I use Diddy) and spams Koopa Klaw at the edge of the course. We usually play at FD or Yoshi's Island, so I don't really have much of a game at the center of the course.

He always wins like that, sometimes using it on all 5 stock.
I don't want to be jerk and ban it, because that would be Johnsish, but does anybody have any idea how to shut that down?

well since he is your brother and you are used to it, save a nanner when you are about to go off, hit him with it and get back on the stage.

I'm guessing Bowsercide is his ftilt? Well if ur off the edge, what you can do is let go, jump and do a Foward B attack. There are two types of Foward B. 1 where you grab him, the other is when you attack which has good priority. Just do that: press down, jump, foward B (then press B again to do the attack).

That should work if bowsercide is his ftilt. If its his fire, then press R or L when your on the edge. Or just jump up.

If you have a lower % than him, then you can control the movement.

Another thing that you can do is shoot peanuts at him or throw bannanas at him until his % is higher than yours.

Yeah, when he grabs you with the koopa klaw, you get to control which way it goes. So when he does it, hold towards the edge and you'll stop him easy.

I didn't know that you had to be of a higher percent though. At most, I've been in situations where both of the players are trying to make the koopa klaw go in opposite directions, the result being that Bowser goes straight up and down again.

its easy, keep your distance, keep one nanner with you, when your at the edge or when he is throw a nanner and then rush in and dash attack into a fair or a spike
