How ought I improve Bowser within a homebrew-Smash I'm making?

[Irsic]

What, you're saying Bowser should be able to take a sword up his *** and think nothing about it?

 

[•Col•]

Wow, Bowser sounds super broken. I can't even imagine how you'd make other people as broken as him... >_> He's still just as strong, lives 5-6 times longer than usual, has all this hyper armor frame crap, and all his B moves are getting buffed a lot more....

I'd like to hear some buffs other characters are getting to deal with Bowser's. And I don't want to hear about how a fast character should be able to avoid all of his attacks. I want to hear how Ganondorf or some other slow character with be able to deal with Bowser.

Yea this is really OP. Sounds like you love Bowser more than everybody else so you are buffing him beyond extremes. I'm pretty sure this game is supposed to be casual, and you don't want Bowser pissing everybody off do you?

 

[Liquid Gen]

Have you heard of Metaknight?

 

[Mith_]

Lols yea. Imagine if MK didn't die until 700% >.>

Condescension FTW! Woo!

Talk about lack of imagination! Y'all need to stay inside more often: go crazy a little! I recommend condemning pants during the endeavor: it really quickens the whole process in an enjoyable fashion.

Who are the big guys, again? DK, Ganon, D3, and Bowser? DK'll be able to go toe-to-toe with Bowser (I haven't yet gotten him all decked-out, but I know that DK is going to have all-around super-armor and a healing taunt); Ganon'll be able to space and combo a bit better than before (thanks in no small part to finally using his sword); and D3's going to be able to the same grab-happy cheesiness he's known and loved for (although standing-chains are going bye-bye).

Have y'all seen my Lucas-thread? With detachable shields, his new fair, BrainShock, and multiple PKTs, Lucas at least can dominate a Bowser! I'd also point you to my Sonic-thread, but I didn't have as much fun with those guys as I'd hoped I would've: someone actually recommended making Sonic slower!

Back to Booze!

Bowser Bomb:
Quicker recovery and a landing-wind will make the move more spammable. I'm unsure about the priority-boost, but I ain't saying that it won't happen!

 

[Hobobloke]

I'd definitely recommend more priority on the Bowser Bomb.

 

[B!squick]

Make Sonic slower? O.o I must see this...

 

[S_B]

If his Fsmash is going to continue to be sent through the mail before it lands, make getting hit by it a near-guaranteed kill over 50%.

And the Bowser bomb should have super armor from when he starts moving until he hits the ground.

As awesome as this sounds, I can't help shaking off the idea that your SSBDS homebrew might not reach completion. Don't get me wrong, if you do release it, I'd love to try it out and own with Bowser but the lack of pictures of your homebrew is quite unsettling.

Woo! Let's hear it for the buzz-kill~!

The only pictures, right now, would be of geometric primitives overlayed with cryptic debug-information: are you really so lacking in faith that you'd need to see that?

Hey, Rome wasn't built in a day and I'm sure Alfonso has better things to occupy his time then making this on a round the clock basis. Aslong as at some point in the future I get to spike someone just by walking. :D

 

[calv]

Have you got anyone doing sprites? I might be able to lend a hand.

I did this Bowser sprite on pixeljoint.

Poverty is not always fun.

Actually, uh, I don't; unless watching hunger-induced hallucinations tempt me to eat my mother's pug is "better" than game-design, to you. When not at work, dumpster-diving, or eating at a local soup-kitchen; I'm programming, planning on programming, studying games… or watching the aforementioned hallucinations.

Thanks for the show of support, man! It is appreciated.

If I recall correctly (since you plan on resizing characters), aren't Peach's eyes supposed to be level with Bowser's chest (if he stood up straight)?

Mario's B-Throw should be an instant kill on Bowser O_O; [/lol]

As for the Hyper-armored shell, Bowser would be able to use his Klaw (Side-B) to turn around in the air, correct? Then he could abuse that armor and nail you with a B-air!!!

Couldn't you just nail the side-B in the first place? Either way, arrogant pokes won't work: you'll need to get really friendly with rolling—which is trying to get in nice with you, too, with post-roll running (hold left/right to run immediately exiting a roll) and controllable orientation (tap left/right to face which way you'd like). Why would you put yourself in the air, against Bowser? Air-space is just for escaping, in that match-up.

 

[Jonas]

You MUST make a character whose every aerial is a spike. It would be too good.

 

[B!squick]

Lol, I could see someone like DK doing that.

 

[Alfonso "Missle Launch" Crawford]

Lucas is the all-spiker of the roster, so far. I updated the first post with the Bowser-changes taken-on, by the way.

 

[Sora Master2.0]

I'm no bowser main, but I'd recomend more uses for his shell. Maybe a dash bakwards like Squirle can.

 

[Lemonwater]

Make it so a player will take damage and knockback if they dash into him from behind (spiky shell).

 

[Alfonso "Missle Launch" Crawford]

Maybe not knockback, but I can dig where you're comin' from.
