I got a small amount of satisfaction from this update, but I'm always looking for more.

Key Points
- During actual TRAILER in the Andross Assist Trophy section we see bowser being hit 3 times and then flying away into the bubble at the top right corner of the screen. When he is flying it looks almost identical to the animation from melee when he is sent flying.
- At the same moment we see what his percentage bar and symbol looks like and i must say i'm pleased (afterall, it has bowser on it)
- Much later in the trailer (near the end) we see peach using some sort of singing move and Bowser dancing along gracefully. Bowser's still got it peoples ;P
- Moving onto the character introduction video we see Bowser getting knocked up and beginning to fall from a light damage dash attack (along with a couple other characters)
- We see Bowser's edgehog animation (I was hoping a getup attack would come after so I could see if it was the same haha)
- We also see his getup roll, which looks nearly identical to his oer 100% getup roll from melee, so I'm assuming that several animations themselves are very much similar

This is all I got out of this update, more than I get out of most *shrug*

Coming from a absolute Bowser lover myself(defnitely my aim to main in Brawl), I've noticed that not many things have changed about him. Which I'm actually extremely happy about. This means that instead of changing what he had, they're just going to change his physics so maybe he doesn't get combo'd so easy and could also survive longer.

When he took all those Andross shots to the face he ended up with a good sum of damage. In melee he would of been blasted away at a MUCH higher speed than he did in that trailer. And we have seen other chars fly away very fast in past vids. Conclusion: thank god.

As long as his ledge game and UpB are still intact I'd be very very pleased. I'd like for them to increase range on his Fair and tilts but that's about it on the different move department(his DownB could go, but it's not that bad, and maybe they'll make his Koopa Klaw even better possibly with less end lag).


But gimpy... I want to know what you think about this theory I've had for Bowser's new style that I made a topic ago ages ago:

It's been revealed that heavy characters will have some moves that make them unflinchable. "Bowser is the biggest and heaviest of fighters"... I sincerely think his whole playstyle will revolve around these moves kind of like Potemkin from Guilty Gear.

I think all the moves that he retreats into his shell will be made unflinchable. This isn't too many either.
1. UpB(make it so no ******* Fox quickly shines you as you return to the field.
2. DSmash(make it so people coming from above you are inevitably sucked into it)
3. Nair(It would make the move so much more spammable, but it wouldn't have the knockback for kills too much so it wouldn't be completely broken)
4. Dair(read Nair)


What do you think?

PS: I can't wait to have a Blue vs Red Bowser with you once Brawl is released and we're use to the fat *******.
I play Peach in melee and low tier Bowser, but I'm retiring my pink dress next game(hopefully).

It's called sarcasm dear.



You know I love you.
So why do you look at all the other men with those seductive eyes!
When you made love you me in that vat of chocolate, you told me you only had eyes for me!

But I'll let it go this time.

Pick up some milk on your way back home.
