Hi, I recently found a large interest in playing games with Bowser, and I want to try and play him at a competitive level. This is the first character I've ever considered getting competitive with, so I need some advice.

The things I know about Bowser at the moment are:
- He's a defensive character, that means reading the opponent and finding an opportunity to attack
- His throws, jab and Ftilt are the most efficient way (for me) to rack up damage
- His kill moves that I find myself killing with are Side-B, Bair, Up-B, Fsmash, and Ftilt (at very high percents)
- Fair to space and edge guard with
- OOS Up-B is very reliable
- Grounded Down-B for cheesy shield breaks into Fsmash

Are there any other tricks I should know? I feel like Neutral-B has a purpose, and I'm not too sure how to edge guard properly. Any help is appreciated.

We have various topics for your perusal. Find one with an appropriate title that interests you and have at. You have a pretty good jist of it though. But use a lot more USmash if you're not killing with it. Also, pivot grab.
