Social Bowser's Castle

[Zapp Branniglenn]

For those that haven't seen it, the Bowser Boards are challenged to a character locked crew battle.

I personally would like to see an impressive turnout on our side. Let's put some kids to bed.

 

[herpyderpherper]

Id be up for that, although im pretty sure Bowser junior does well against Bowser, although i haven't fought a good one in a long time

 

[Koopakid 64]

Are there any Bowser players that can train with me for a bit? may be going to the sandstorm tournament for smash bros wii u and my pals on facebook want me to bring the king again.

I'll take care of it. Add my NNID.

Are there any specific characters you would want me to use?

 

[Koopakid 64]

uh honestly any character really. need to practice. especially since I'm using the Wii u game pad. and don't have an adapter since tournaments use those...

But if you want it to be specific then characters I trouble with are: R.O.B, and Sheik

Come to a SoCal tournament, and we'll play in person!

I can use Sheik for you. I haven't played ROB in this game really in Smash 4, but the game & neutral in general is easy enough that I should be fine.

Just hit me up on Wednesday after the patch comes out and I'll play you.

 

[LIQUID12A]

I had just realized that an awesome game against a Robin on 3DS with my Bowser would have been invalidated with the patch, so I went ahead and recorded it.

If I get the chance tomorrow, I'm posting it here.

Interrupting Thoron is so funny.

 

[B!squick]

Sees that you can't do ground moves while holding items now.

*slow claps* Congratulations, Nintendo. I haven't even seen what fresh hell I have to deal with on Bowser yet and I already get to give you the most sarcastic congratulations anyone will ever receive.

 

[UltimaLuminaire]

@ B!squick I'm testing what I can before I clock out.

 

[B!squick]

We can rest easy fellas. I only tested a few stages on the 3DS but it seems that Bowser consistently dies first from Bowsercide.

[UltimaLuminaire]

@ B!squick Yeah, been trying to add things to a post I made in the moveset thread. Now try Dash Klaw.

??? Wasn't that always the case?

 

[MrEh]

??? Wasn't that always the case?

Not exactly. There was some hilarious input shenanigans that allowed characters to do tilts while holding an item.

Mega Man was the notable example. Being able to do Ftilts while holding a Metal Blade was so funny.

Oh right! Do you mean like while crouching and holding back then using a tilt stick or something? I forgot about that.

 

[MrEh]

That's it.

Here's that video I mentioned.

 

[Hitman JT]

So I just bought Bayonetta 1 & 2 and apparently, this here is a thing. Pretty sure I just found my new favorite game.

 

[MagiusNecros]

And even PlatinumGames used the right Bowser voice! *flails arms in the air*

 

[herpyderpherper]

I looked at eventhubs for Bowser, information on there is really messed up , it lists captain falcon as our worst matchup, not sheik, and also says little mac is a bad mu for us as well

Lol eventhubs. They are the vgchartz of the smash community.

 

[LIQUID12A]

lol eventhubs

They do errors so glaring that I don't trust them.

To be fair, a lot of this isn't too messed up. I believe the Falcon MU thread on Smashboards lists Bowser as their best MU. Some ridiculous score like 80:20. And furthermore, there's like three times the amount of Falcon players out there than Bowsers who could object. I think Falcon is absolutely tough. Not Shiek level bad, but tough enough that we're fighting at a disadvantage unless we have our delicious Dash Slash for recovering high and aggressive engagements.

As for Little Mac, I could see it. I play both characters, and I think Little Mac should enjoy the Bowser MU, since Bowser typically has to fight on Mac's terms. Bowser's low mobility makes KO punch extremely difficult to avoid. And he can forget about Jab frame traps. With Mac's frame 1 jab, the only options that will work are frame perfect Dtilt and Ftilt followups. Good luck with that. Jolt haymaker circumvents Fire breath entirely. Dash Slash aggression may be good, but unlike Bowser, Mac does have a frame 1 invincible OoS move. In my opinion, this MU is even for Bowser at best.

 

[MagiusNecros]

If mac goes jab 1 don't we tough guy it?

Don't use EventHubs for anything. It's basically the scourge of humanity.

Anyone who joins that site past 2008 is a dweeb.

 

[herpyderpherper]

Yea i realized that after they had Rosaluma at first for the 1.05 patch

 

[Zapp Branniglenn]

If mac goes jab 1 don't we tough guy it?

Not at all. Bowser tough guys the multijab. If Mac begins a multijab on Bowser, Bowser may land during it and pull up shield as he waits for the finisher. You should definitely fear Mac's jab 1+2. It links exceptionally well into Dtilt on heavy weights like Bowser. Not to mention it links directly into KO punch.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Well I have fought a decent mac. Matches are usually close.

Hey now. Eventhubs isn't a bad site, it's just the Smash section that sucks. Ignore it and go there for regular fighting game stuff.

Spoiler

And for Dreamking's puns.

 

[B!squick]

Wait, what's wrong with vgchartz? :S

The other fighting game sections suck too.

UMVC3 and PSASBR being big offenders.

EDIT:

Well, that's a first for me. Didn't know Jigs was that insanely fragile.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I want a Dry Bowser Alt costume or as a Bowser Clone because reasons.

If you break her sheild she instantly dies

 

[LIQUID12A]

Yeah, was told this hours ago by virtually everyone.

Just seeing it happen from a Bowser Bomb was so amusing, though.

To be fair, video game companies are notoriously vague about their sales numbers.
