Howdy all, I'm a Bowser main who plays locals up in good ole' Michigan and I've always had problems with Corrin. I couldn't even touch the Corrins who I played against due to them using the Pin thingy. I was wondering who I should try to pick up to counter the Corrin? Thank you and have a good day

Fast top tiers like Diddy Kong and Fox give Corrin, so you might try using them.

Both of them are capable of punishing Instant Pin as well.

You can also try to grind it out with Bowser himself. Instant Pin is RUTHLESS in this matchup, but it should be doable with a ton of practice.

Bowser doesn't even suffer that much if you know how to shield. actually, most characters don't- especially Bowser. approach by Shielding, especially at mid-range. If you notice they're going for Grabs, start Jabbing, use Pivot F-Tilts and/or Pivot Grab. I'm an ex-Bowser main, and it's insane what you can do with only 4-5 moves. You can also punish mis-spaced or moderately laggy moves with Up-B OoS (which may or may not punish Pin, considering we extend our hurtbox...Up-B is Frame6, go figure). Only real struggle you should have at the MU is in landing and if they're great at general spacing (contrary case, you can just run up and Shield grab or wait them to commit to something).
