I honestly don't mind the nerfed Bowser Slam grab range; to me, Bowser's insane run speed more than makes up the difference.
... Oh, right. I'm SmashBro. (Most original name ever, am I right?) Bowser's one of my favorite villains of all time simply because of his personality. Like, he's not super evil or demonic, and he doesn't try to manipulate the heroes or sneak his way into power or anything. Most of his plans just devolve into "charge headfirst with as much muscle as possible, and look cool while doing it". Admittedly I started to think the whole princess-stealing bit was starting to get old a little while back, but when Bowser decided to GET FUNKY in recent titles (NSMB series, Bowser's Inside Story, Dream Team, and ESPECIALLY Super Mario 3D World) my love for the Koopa King came back tenfold.
I guess Bowser's got this sort of flair to himself? He just manages to give off this air of debonair. Who cares if he gets tossed aside by Mario for the umpteenth time? He just climbs right back up, ready to try again. Sometimes in the same level. Dude just punches down brick walls, spits giant exploding fireballs, cracks apart sheet rock just by stomping on it with his sheer girth, and lately he's taken fancy to a slick purple sports car. He's not in it for the sensation of power. He's not in it to crush the world in his grip. All he wants to do is blow stuff up and try to impress the princess. Bowser's a villain because it's
fun, and he's got
style to boot.
Normally this is the part where I introduce myself,
but I already did that and it kind of took a while to type up. Eh. Maybe later.
I'm having more fun with Mii Fighters than should be legal within this country, but in case of the (horrible, horrible) possibility that custom moves (and, consequently, Mii Fighters) aren't tournament legal, I've also been playing a lot of Little Mac and Bowser. Especially Bowser. God
damn does he feel powerful. I mean heck, I was excited to play Bowser since the E3 2013 when they first showed off his new stance and run animation... and I'm proud to say that these Koopa thighs are indeed
very sexy.
Time to show these loser plumbers what I'm
really made of!
