Hello.

I am currently trying to second Bowser, so I don't know a lot about him yet. I do, of course, know of the ISJR for Bowser, but I'm not exactly sure why it's important. (I've read from a few different places that it's an important part of his game).

So...why? Is it a good approach? I'd think it's somewhat predictable, but I could be wrong considering I just started.

Firebreath, Ftilt, Fair, and Up B are good approaches depending on whats going on. I get a ftilt out most of the time for a start attack.

infinity jump isn't needed if your new to Bowser but it is very useful but not when used over and over. Your going to have to play against a lot of different characters to understand who to use it on and why its good for this or that match up.

For now I would just focus of approaching and learning what works with Bowser then focus on infinity jumping tactics.

Bowser's Bouncer isn't really effective on anyone with half-decent speed unless it comes out of left field. It may be an AT but it's not really advanced, it's more like a simple trick.

DiasFlac knows what he's talking about. Therefore, if he says it, it must be half-true. Listen well.

If DiasFlac hasn't posted yet, THEN listen to other people.

If you follow these simple rules, you will quickly learn.
