While messing around with lvl 9 random CPUs, I discovered that the Gonzo combo on the edge against a Bowser leads into a dair that leaves him too low to recover. I don't know any good Bowser mains to test this against a human, but the CPU couldn't get out of it. As far as the combo goes, I narrowed it down to the fact that the second grab should leave Kirby at the edge holding Bowser over the edge. After the throw and uair a SHdair is within reach. And when it's not on the edge this combo nets a decent 45% damage on average.

I could be talking out of my arse here, but in case I'm not someone should test this with a human.

It works on heavy characters, not just Bowser. I think this is the combo your talking about... it starts in the beginning of the match. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=6hmw-9MJn90

Considering Kirby's D-air takes 18 frames of start-up, this leaves plenty of time for Bowser to Fortress and punish Kirby.

But the D-air has multiple hits. What if you do it early?
