I'm just wondering how many other people noticed.

Bowzer is easily 3-4 times the size he was in Melee. He also seems to be about 2-3 times bigger than any other character so far.

Take a peek:











If you'll notice, the only character that comes close to being the same size is Donkey Kong, but so far, I have yet to find a single picture where Boozer and DK are both in it, so I can't make a decent comparison.

Either way, I think this bodes well for Bowzer. It looks like his character size finally matches his hitbox. Not to mention he has some d**n reach now!

Bowzer for Top Tier!

Well if they made Bowser bigger than he was before. Even more proof that Ridley's size isn't an issue.. Not like it ever was one.

And yeah.. he is pretty huge.

No he is not big, he's very small, now ridley, that's a diferent issue 'cause he would cover the whole stage, he's that big.

Or

Hmm. Yeah, that's kind of interesting- I hadn't noticed, but he probably would weigh twice as much in Brawl.

I didn't notice that...but he's like a giant turtle tankasaurus now. That's pretty cool that sizes are being seriously established.

Yeah, he does seem bigger, but three or FOUR times the size he was in Melee? Not quite. I think he's more exaggerated than he was in Melee (bigger spikes on his shell and generally maybe a bulkier build), but he's not all that much more massive.

I'd say he's probably 50-75% bigger.

I do agree that he does have great chances of being in. But those clouds prove nothing, it's mearly your mind creating what it wants to see in an abstract.

Yeah the clouds proved nothing... after that Adventure Mode vid.. that "Characters in the Sky" pic had no meaning anymore.. Its not like you see them forming into Ridley, Bowser, Master Hand, etc..

Well with a bigger size means bigger target like stated over and over again in this discussion. I just hope he gains something out of it. From that foward punch on fox it would most likely seem they are giving him some better range. So i guess thats a start. Hopefully he wont just be a punching bag with no means of escape in most cases.

I noticed he's bigger too. So is Donkey Kong.

You're wrong. If you look closely, you can see that it's actually Godzilla, Frosty the Snowman, and Jesus.

I just hope he doesn't feel awkward and sloppy this time.

Hopefully, Sakurai will give big characters the longest range. That would fit in well with DK and Ridley.

Ganondorf should be a bit taller than Link and hopefully they will make him less sluggish but give the player the feeling there is power in his actions

Wow, I never really noticed just how much taller Ganondorf was than Link when I was playing. That's...fairly daunting.

A tall *** Ganondorf would rock in Brawl. I just hope that they don't make us wait when they announce him to find out if they changed his moveset or not.

Sakurai stated that Bowser's style would be a lot different this time, which is basically the same thing as saying that they changed his moveset and attributes in some ways. I'm pretty sure that Sakurai will say something similar when he displays Ganondorf.

Bowser, thankfully, is relating to the actual skyscraper that he is. I'm guessing that Bowser will be huge, extremely heavy, have long range, but have pretty laggy moves. The only thing that he needs is a better recovery, height-wise. Also they should give Bowser unique defenses... like characters will be affected if they land on his spikes (in other words, characters can't footstool jump on Bowser). You know, since the havoc engine is being used this time.

Well, He didn't say a lot, but just that Boozer would have a slightly different flavor this time around. I'm hoping that means he removed the suck from the King of Koopas.

He also said that the heavier characters were going to have several moves that they wouldn't flinch while performing. (Meaning you can hit them and they'll still continue on.)
Which is how Bowser should be.
