Wow, Bowser looks bigger than last time.

I never really played Bowser in Melee, but I don't think I have seen this move. New animation, maybe?

And I think what Sakurai meant by 'flavor', he meant little tweaks/adjustments/re-animations to most of the veterans.

 

[Waenke]

of course bowser is going to be slow, but he looks....old! he's aged quite a bit, just look at him!

Yeah, I was disappointed by the look when I saw it..I'll feel like I'm playing with or against some old guy when he's in the fray...it just won't be the same. =\

 

[Onifrio]

I don't think they made bowzer look old they made him look more evil and less cartoonish. The mario series needs but only one cartoonish dinasour.

 

[BentoBox]

It's the lack of hair compared to his SSBM form that makes him look somewhat older. His hair also isn't as brightish-red than it used to be.

 

[SliK]

This is for all the people who say bowser looks slower. HOW in gods name can you tell? its a screen shot i see absolutely no movement whatsoever unless your so insane about this game that you see things... OLD

 

[DonkeySmasher]

today's update is great, cause bowser is one of my mains, and i'm happy!

his fire breath, amazing! his Koopa Klaw, wicked awesome! his claws get extremely longer in the pics...awesome!

plus, this has got to be the most EVIL looking bowser...EVER!

yeah, he'll probably be the first character i'll play as again when i get brawl.

QFT

all i need now is donkey and yoshi
(i'm good with low tiers and animals)

 

[~rh]

Bowser does look very cool, I can openly admit to that

 

[lanky_gunner]

i really don't care if he looks old or is slow, i'm still gonna use him

 

[chiyo-chan' dad]

I don't think they made bowzer look old they made him look more evil and less cartoonish. The mario series needs but only one cartoonish dinasour.

I do think he looks older, but your right about "they made him look more evil and less cartoonish." But Bowzer is evil, but more funny (cartooish). I think they should have gon for the cartoonish look.

Still Bowser looks good.

 

[Eight Sage]

No surprise for me... I think all SSBM char will return (except for the ones you already know)

But this Boswer sure looks like a real turtle king.

 

[tstumo]

he does look old. i thought that the first time i saw him. his teeth and especially his face. like an old man. lol i will feel bad when im beating him up now.

 

[Johnknight1]

The way Bowser looks now... he kinda looks slower...

Still, Blastoise doesn't have s*** on him.

Edit: His final smash is going to be so extreme...

Bowser looks f***** sick, excuse my language, but he does. I can't wait to see my main man Blastoise's new look (as a Pokeball Pokemon)=sick!

O, and his Final Smash isn't going to be extreme, it will be super extreme! And why do people think he looks old, he looks realistic, awsome, and massively awsome! Bowser looks straight up sick, no doubt in my mind!

 

[~rh]

You better hope that the Blast-man is gonna be in Brawl, in any shape or form. It be sick if he was playable, but those are just fantasies.

 

[lanky_gunner]

he does look old. i thought that the first time i saw him. his teeth and especially his face. like an old man. lol i will feel bad when im beating him up now.

that's the thing that bothered me first actually was his mouth. it stands out more than any other feature of his body cause it looks pale. plus his mouth is wrinkly around the corners.

but if the picture is smaller or you look at it from far away, it makes bowser look more sinister and powerful.

nevertheless, i like the look. i don't like the "cartoony" bowser they have in the party games. i've always loved the look in melee, and that's what they did, upgraded the melee look.

now i wonder whether they'll use the roars from melee, or give bowser his voice from recent mario titles

 

[the grim lizard]

This picture is just a taste of what's to come...

 

[chiyo-chan' dad]

Some things to say:

Omg, Bowser looks biger then he did in Ssbm, I like this a lot, POWER!!!

Look how that flag stands out. Do you think the update tommrow will be some thing about Fire Emblem.? Characters? Stages?

 

[Onifrio]

^^

GOD...

Sakurai only knows.

 

[Flare233]

I may be pointing out the obvious, but Bowser's gained some weight. O.O

 

[lanky_gunner]

he's actually lighter in color, yet he's more evil and dark in his brawl look.

how could that be possible? cause he's bowser!

 

[Flare233]

I think it's his hair. Look at the detail!

 

[Pichu_815]

He also has a more cartoony feel, like he's supposed to. Melee Bowser was too shiny, and the attempt in Melee to look like... some kind of heartless beast... failed miserably. Because Bowser really DOES have feelings... Anyway, I'm glad he's not all shiny anymore. Though a few sit-ups now and then would help a lot...

 

[The Bino]

All Mario have that CARTOONISH look to everyone single one of em, that's how Nintendo has done all Mario games everytime so of course every single Mario related char is going to look Cartoonish.... that's just how Miyamoto has created all of em

 

[Sandy]

But none were cel-shaded like Wind Waker Link.
Cel-shading is more cartoonish-looking in my opinion.

 

[SSBMasterFox]

Just think of how cool Giga Bowser will look if he's in the game.

 

[DonkeySmasher]

lol i once fought giga bowser with a super mushroom i think that is the right size ratio

 

[CBNJ]

Yeah his hair is different for sure. He looks pretty badass.

 

[Coolio]

???Daisy???

Do you think daisy diserves to be in SSBB? She's basically another Peach but in orange... Theres really no point; just a waste of a character. I hope Sakurai made the right decision!...

 

[blackaneseboy07]

The way Bowser looks now... he kinda looks slower...

Still, Blastoise doesn't have s*** on him.

Edit: His final smash is going to be so extreme...

how does a character look "slower" in a picture?...that makes no sense, you cant see his movements at all

 

[Sandy]

It's good to see that during the crunch time before E3 we are getting phenomenal updates. Getting more confirmed returning characters is always a bonus, and of course, assist trophies are really something else. Hopefully this trend of useful updates will continue for the remaining time before E3. And then, hopefully we will get something good at E3--a new trailer, new characters, or something else of that caliber.

If I had to venture a guess as to what updates we might get, I would say a character profile for Meta Knight is likely and perhaps some of his specials at a later time. A new tune might also show up. I also wouldn't be surprised if we received another returning character before E3. Lastly, I expect another assist trophy to be shown.

 

[Onifrio]

It's going to be so exciting when the special moves updates come for either metaknight or snake. So far their moves are a complete mystery. At least with wario and pit we had an idea.

 

[SpitFire15]

True, but they can all have a more mature look but still have a cartoonish image. Just look at Mario's Brawl picture. He looks comical, yet serious.

 

[Chibirobo]

I'm hoping they do the same thing to Donkey Kong.

 

[SpitFire15]

I'm hoping they do the same thing to Donkey Kong.

They did with him in Melee, so I don't see why it shouldn't happen to DK in Brawl.

 

[Flare233]

Just think of how cool Giga Bowser will look if he's in the game.

You got your wish. Look at the official site. New update!

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

I was right... Bowser's final smash is EXTREME.

Giga Bowser returns and now he's invincible and usable. Has anyone noticed the pattern yet? Check out the characters on Sakurai's poll. Hammer Bro and Giga Bowser showed up on there and now they have been added to gameplay in some way.

I think it's safe to use the poll as a solid source for speculation now.

 

[user_name]

New Update: Bowser's Final Smash is a temporary transformation into Giga Bowser.

- Giga Bowser looks AWESOME
- This confirms that temporary transformations as Final Smashes are in
- This brings back the possibility of Zamus being a Final Smash transformation
- Will he do something similar for Ganondorf/Ganon? (would be awesome)

 

[Dantarion]

GIGA BOWSER looks pretty beastly.

Anyways, I doubt Zero Suit Samus is a final smash transform, because honestly, that would just suck. Its not like Zero Suit is "Super Samus", or like it is temporary. Also, having all that work on a character with a gun/beam whip just for it only to be accessed by an item is kinda dumb.

 

[Shuma]

Z. samus can't be a Final Smash, you see her in almost every Poc, she couldn't be a Final Smash, Giga Looks awesome.

 

[Master Peach]

Giga Bowser is fearsome. When Brawl comes out I'm using Everyone and checking out all their new moves.

 

[the grim lizard]

Here's to those who wanted GigaBowser as a playable character...

btw...it seems Zelda has her Golden Toe Kick back, based on the last picture there.
