Koopa Questions: a Bowser Q&A Thread

[B!squick]

Lol, yeah, he does rarely show his face. But you were on hiatus for a little bit yourself Gen. :O

 

[Liquid Gen]

This is true.

But now I'm here, trying to breathe some life into these forsaken lands.

Btw, Bowser can lagless ledgedrop fair onto the stage.

 

[B!squick]

Really? O.o Man I'm bad, lol. I can never get that thing to AC from a ledge drop. Sometimes I try it and nothing happens though I do hear the noise he makes when performing a FAir... mind games? XD

 

[Liquid Gen]

Its like.. really weird to do.. Asin, the timing has to be perfect and everything lol.

Also, check the BRoom, Jay. I'ma post something importawnt in there in a sec.

 

[Vex Kasrani]

Any Bowsers going to Apex?

 

[B!squick]

If it's located outside of my appartment, then no.

 

[Hobobloke]

If it's located outside of Australia, then no.

 

[Red Arremer]

lol. There won't be a lot of people going, and less will be going, so how about we do it more efficently and only those people who are going post, instead of those who aren't? =P

Also, sorry, Vex, I'd love to meet/play you, but overseas is a slight stretch for me still.

 

[MrEh]

Haha, I wish.

If Hawaii ever considers a massive trip to represent, then I'll be sure to come.

 

[B!squick]

The Bowser Boards circle the globe it seems.

Now to ask my question again.

We all may or may not be aware that jumping and IMMEDIATELY performing a Bowser Bomb will cause you to land on a platform above you such as the side ones on Battlefield despite being mostly below it. Is this useful at all?

 

[Z1GMA]

Can Bowser's Up+b interupt Snake's AAA after getting hit by the first and/or second hit?
It seemed like it can, when I played a couple matches with a friend.

(I don't visit these boards that much)

 

[Red Arremer]

Bowser's UpB has invincibility on frame 1-...5 I think. So yes, if you are able to UpB, all of Snakes move will be interrupted or clank with the Fortress.

 

[Flayl]

To me it seems like your friend is pressing A too slowly, you should be in hitstun after the first part of the jab. Have him just hold A and try to fortress after the first hit.

 

[Phiddlesticks]

I'm pretty sure you can powershield the third hit of Snake's jab (just like ZSS' and Squirtle's). If you can powershield it, you can probably fortress it :s

 

[Liquid Gen]

Yes, this is why people don't use Snake's jab a lot. It sucks.

 

[_Kadaj_]

Are you guys still doing the bowser boards combo video??

 

[B!squick]

Well, I still WANT to do it but I have no idea how far along the project is since someone else is taking care of, well everything. >.>

 

[_Kadaj_]

we should check up on it to see how far in progress it is, hope its started anyway lol

 

[B!squick]

I asked in the thread I made for it, but so far nothing. :/

 

[_Kadaj_]

That sucks hopefully someone will answer soon.

 

[Hobobloke]

What are some good texture hacks for Bowser?

Tubba Blubba.

DO IT NOW

 

[Bowser King]

What are some good texture hacks for Bowser?

Have you checked stack smash or other sites?

There aren't a lot of them out there but I personally think zombie bowser looks really cool along with a few others.

Is it necessary to use grab-releases to be competitive with Bowser?

 

[Bowser King]

Is it necessary to use grab-releases to be competitive with Bowser?

Not at all. Bowser can do great with out his CG and GR. Think of it like sprinkles on top. He does really well with out them but with them they make him better.

Again, there not a HUGE part of our game like ICs. Though if you learned to use it in certain matchups (wario, falco and metaknight) they can come in fairly handy but there not necessary.

-Bowser King

 

[Woozle]

:D

Encouraging!

 

[MrEh]

Grab releases aren't the most important thing, but they're useful in some matchups.

(Sheik, MK, Falco lol)

 

[Cyndi]

I once dropped someone off the side doing a grab release, but it was dumb luck. Never been able to replicate that.

 

[Kofu]

I think I heard somewhere that the end of Bowser's Dair spikes (or meteors, whatever). Is this true?

 

[Semifer]

Yes, it's a semi spike, but nevertheless this is not a reason to use Dair offstage, because it's risky and the KB is weak.

 

[B!squick]

Yeah. It's the very last hitbox. Like, as he's coming out of his shell. If you're opponent is recoverying low for whatever reason and you're on the ledge, ledge jumping and immediately DAiring is good tactic. It'll ledge cancel if you DI it back.

 

[The Brown Scourge]

I've got a very good question! At least, i think its good. I know u can mess with bowsers color schemes and whatnot but i would like to change the hue of bowsers firebreath. Think it would be pretty epic roasting a pikachu or mk in blue hellflames!!! Can it be done?

 

[Hobobloke]

The smash workshop would be the best place to ask considering thats where all the texture hack info is.

EDIT: cme to think of it i dont think we're supposed to even discuss it here because MLG does not endorse hacking wii's but its fine to post it in the smash workshop as tha isn't a part of SWF so MLG doesn't have to deal with legal issues. <3 loopholes.

... How is it not part of SWF?

 

[Hobobloke]

I just remeber reading in there someone saying that MLG doesnt own that part of the site or something to avoid legal issue. I dunno

 

[Budget Player Cadet_]

Here's my question. Am I doing something wrong with UBOOS? Basically, whenever I use it, I hit the opponent with the first hit, deal 4 damage, and get weak knockback. Not impressive. In fact, I've only ever been able to hit with more than one hit from the fortress when I use it in the air. What's the right procedure?

Oh yeah, and how can I get my friend to quit *****ing about me koopaciding his ***?

Fortress has invincibility frames on frames 1-5. Just use it quicker if you were aiming to use those.

"No johns".

 

[Flayl]

Don't use aerial fortress as an attack. Fortress OOS should remain on the ground when done correctly, it does, what, 10'ish damage? Definitely more than 4.

To use an UpB OOS correctly, you should be pressing jump and B at the same time.

 

[Bowser King]

I think it's like 11-14%.

Definitely more then four, and there are also a lot of options you can have with it like retreating, against certain/most aerials, to get out of tight situations etc.

-Bowser King

 

[B!squick]

Oh, and use tap jump at your own risk. I don't know why, but on my friend's Wii, I was constantly jumping before I'd UpB OoS. x_x

Also, major props bowser king for the Moria avatar. XD

Shhheeee, shee shee.
