Bowzer: HE'S FRICKIN HUGE!!!!

[Rigor_Mortis]

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!

 

[Spazznid]

lol ya easily 3 times 'melee size and DK looks maybe 2x normal size as well.

Makes it more realistic IMO.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

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.

[Pokebrawl]

Maybe this will make him more useful/move him up on the tier list. He looks especially humungus in the Animal Crossing one.

 

[IllidR]

As the King of the Turtles should be.. large and in charge.

 

[Gypsy Lee]

I just hope more people realize this, so that they won't bring up the size issue when it comes to Ridley.

 

[SpitFire15]

He should be better than what he was in Melee, but on the down side, he's a much bigger target and some of the other characters seem to have better range too.

 

[Shuma]

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.

/sarcasm

 

[LaniusShrike]

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

 

[FoxxehRoxxeh]

Bowser's gonna eat Toad

 

[Drake3]

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

 

[OmegaXXII]

it's a very good thing after all, he is the King of Koopa's

 

[Circus]

Bowzer is easily 3-4 times the size he was in Melee.

o_O

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . O_o

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.

 

[chaos_Leader]

If they keep the speed and agility (or lack there-of) Bowser had in Melee, and upped his weight, power and reach to fit his new body, This guy will pack quite a wallop

 

[Tanea]

he is and peach looks smaller i wonder that if that is what wil make them more sturdy so they will flinch less like sakuria or sakurai had said when ike was confirmed

 

[ClarkJables]

yep, but that fits with sakurai's new approach to this game by making it as balanced as possible

yeah hes definetly bigger but not 3 times as much.

on a side note, people stop *****ing about ridley! He's pretty much 100% in. and thers is a picture on smash dojo of that mysterious ship and you can see ridley, ganondorf, and master hand faintly in the sky. check it out if u dont believe me

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..

 

[Sol]

Thats no Bowser thats a MURT MURH

 

[The Brawler]

You might be right about this, but than again its just pics but than again lol if you look at the characters size and compare it to bowser he does look alot bigger and so does dk.

 

[Pokebrawl]

Hes even big in this picture!!1!

 

[Sinn]

Hes even big in this picture!!1!

xD

Hěnlarious.

And remember kids. Bigger characters mean bigger targets. Huzzah!

 

[PPNY]

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.

 

[freeman123]

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.

 

[Shuma]

The Cloud theory is true... you'll see... Ahahaha AHAHAHAHA!.

 

[Empy]

Looks like bowsers been eating some of those magic mushrooms from Mario.

 

[SenorPresidente]

Could ganon be on the same boat? I mean look at TP ganon

 

[hectichobo]

Wow bowser is big... What do u expect?!?!?! He's the king of turtles!!! He's like 3 times Mario in the original game!!!

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Yeah, look at Ganondorf!!

Anyway,

More villains for Brawl!!

I'm a Bowser fan all the way

 

[NukeA6]

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.

 

[Cyberbot5000]

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

 

[Sinn]

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.

 

[Rigor_Mortis]

Sakurai stated that Bowser's style would be a lot different 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.
