Bowser's Makeover for Smash!

[Superyoshiom]

I hope this helps i tried to find same size images

Wow, they really did improve his posture! Also makes Brawl Bowser looks dull in comparison.

Seeing it like this kind of makes me like Bowser better when he's hunched. He looks more like a creepy turtle dragon man now, at least in that picture anyway. Not too big of a deal though. He does look more like himself now overall.


People are right: his new posture will make him a better fighter now that his head isn't hanging out in front of him.

Considering that Bowser now stands with a straighter pose, he's not quite as big as in Brawl, where he was hunched over most of the time.

The following is just a size comparison that I did up, to at least give you an idea on the size change.

Lol I'm gonna show this to the Ridley haters. Saying smash always follows size yet bowser is smaller then his brawl form. Nice and thanks for this bowser size comparison!

Wow looks like I'm responding to an old thread here, but I like and dislike the new bowser. The colors are more vibrant, which is a big plus. However, in doing so, they've compromised the detail. Same with mario. The detail on the fighters was what set Brawl apart from a lot of other Nintendo games during it's time. Also, I kind of liked Bowser hunched over.

This new Bowser will have a new way of walking, I think. We'll see how it goes, but I'm on the fence with this one.

I LOVE Bowser's walking animation, THAT is the strut of a villain, I hope Ganondorf gets one that's equally as brilliant.

Edit: Scratch that, I want a better running animation for Ganondorf, the one in Brawl was pitiful in my opinion.

One thing that kinda bothered me about the older model was that his shell always seemed like it was made from leather or rubber instead bone or whatever hard, durable material they are typically made from. Whenever he moved it would flex and bend very noticeably, I suppose it couldn't be helped too much but maybe the new design will allow the shell to remain at least a bit more static without too many animation issues. However, looking at his new animations, and stances, it looks like this has been addressed.

I'm gonna take this would be the "Bowser redesign appreciation thread". Well, I' ll leave my input here.
Love it! Bowser was one of my favorite heavyweights since Melee and things like the nail skating run animation always made me wonder "wut?". I understood the look Sakurai was going in Melee "64 models but with a very realistic make up". But some of his animations and how his shell worked was always confusing (the shell bended, shells don't bend, they are rigid!).
Also, Im hoping this trend of updating models also means a power boost. SSB4 should be the era of heavyweights.

I was blown away by how amazing he looks at last years E3, but now after all this footage and pics of him... Man, I gotta say that I have a new main in the making right here. I always feel like maining him in Smash, but he's always been so darn slow with rather sucky attacks. But this time around he looks exactly the opposite, I can't wait to try him out!

Before, I've always wanted to like Bowser, but I couldn't. Sliding across the ground instead of running, slow, not standing upright... he didn't feel like Bowser. Now, he is just perfect. He looks so much better, standing correctly, actually running, new and faster moves, and yeah... this is how Bowser should have been all the time, and I'm SOO looking forward to play as him in Smash 4! ^^

^ x 100. I LOVE his walking animation... Well, I actually love everything about him, at the moment. Ha ha. He looks amazing.

 

[Sen. Sawft]

They work. I want.

 

[TitanTeaTime]

Something illegal I'm sure. He's a villain after all

[DarkRyu]

He's got one of these

 

[HeavyLobster]

Knuckles is obviously his dealer.

 

[GalacticPetey]

The Wii Fit Trainer helped him with balancing.

 

[BaganSmashBros]

He uses Ridleyroids that Ridley`s clone has been using. Unfortunately, its side effects include bad plot, lame death and fortunately awesome boss battle.

 

[Jerodak]

Bowser isn't using anything, he just got tired of everyone jeering at him and decided to fight seriously for the first time.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

He just went to Knuckles' gym, got denied, and then flirted with WFT (You decide the gender) and got trained, then got trained by Sonic so his speed increased aswell

 

[Angelglory]

Mystery solved.

Bowser: Is standing up straight a steroid?
Ganondorf: No Bowser, standing up straight isn't a steroid. Being faithful to your characterization from your own games isn't a steroid either.
