One thing that I don't like about Bowser

[Galvanic]

He should be able to toss fireballs rather than just being able to go-flamethrower. Bowser's Fireballs were classic from the beginning, so why can't they have use in the Smash series?

What I would've found is if holding B down = Flamethrower and Tapping B = Fireball. Something like Yoshi's Final Smash. Nothing much like Mario and Luigi's fire, though, which I'm guessing is the reason for the way Bowser's fire was the way it was in Brawl+Melee.

See?

He starts spewing out a jet of fire...

But you can also press the button to spit out fireballs!

i kind of wish he did have the fireballs instead of the flamethrower, but i have no complaints because being able to aim it up and down is good enough for me.

although i'm pretty sure in super mario 64 he actually had a flamethrower and no fireballs which would be a better reason he doesn't have it instead of it just being too similar to the mario bros.

 

[Galvanic]

Actually, in 64 he didn't have fireballs per say but rather small shots of floating-flames that had just about the same effect.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

bowser's firebreath is great in brawl hmph

 

[kunai_abuser]

The only flaw I saw in his regular fire is that it dies out after too much use I don't think changes should be made

 

[Percon]

Interesting, although it would certainly take away the uniqueness of Yoshi's final smash.

 

[UltimateN00b]

They should make it so if you TAP B quickly Bowser shoots a fireball, and when you HOLD B, he breathes fire.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

they should make it so it comes out much faster, has much less lag, and you can aim it up and down, that would make it a lot better htan the melee version

oh wait they did that nvm good work nintendo

 

[Inferno_blaze]

it should set the whole stage on fire. Why hasn't this game got realistic physX an supr engin 4 fire? Wii suX!

actually think the fireball idea would be cool, pity it's not implemented.

 

[error_alt_delete]

we dont need the fireballs. bowser's new setup is uber enough as it is.

 

[Supa_Sonic]

The fire seemed to work fine in melee and I don't think that it should be changed at all. If anything I think that his over B should be changed. But also a more classic bower would be cool too so i'm a bit torn.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

have you read anything about bowser sonic? you should check my thread in the general brawl discussion

his firebreath and his klaw are changed

 

[the grim lizard]

Bowser's the awesome.

 

[GreenKirby]

Gimpy, your bias is showing.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

i can show bias all i want here i tried to keep it mostly out of the actual impressions thread, but i could care less outside of that lol

 

[error_alt_delete]

gimpy thats an awsome sig, I just had to say it.
oh also if bowser were to have gotten fireballs instead of aimable fire, that would also be kinda wierd. the fire balls would have set damage and it would be hard to set a good speed for them. too fast and the attack isnt fair, too slow and the attack sucks.

 

[smashbot226]

Careful what you say, EAD. I've heard gimpyfish BANS people for dissing his main!

Anyway, I feel like Bowser has received a major improvement in speed. Is it just me, Ike, or the strange idea that he is now faster than Donkey Kong???

Either way, his B> is still my ownage weapon. And I like how Diddy has a command throw now as well!

 

[brawler12]

Remember the running and shooting update well bowser should have the tap B to shoot fireball sand hold b while moving to walk while breathing fire. Nuff said

It would be tough to do but it could still be regulated. Diddy has his popguns. Samus has her gun. So why can't Bowser have a good projectile?

If they chose to make it fast they could make it weaker. Or, if they make it slow, they could make it stronger.

From a 1-10, ten being strongest and 1 being fastest, I'd give it a 6.

Personally, I'd want the flamethrower to be thrown out completely, with fireballs completely that're amiable and break stuff (ie, 1:48-2:06, but maybe faster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R9nI_wXz8s), but that'd be pushing my bowser-lovin' luck.

Oh sorry I'm just not such a big bowser user i dont know all that stuff. I'm more into fast characters like fox

 

[Dragonbreath]

Does the firebreath still ***** out after a few seconds? I read your Demo Impressions, but that part was a bit unclear to me.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

no it doesn't, but you cant hold it forever, it's got a recharge timer type thing

 

[Luigi player]

I too wanted that Bowser shoots those fire-rockets like he does in Super Mario Bros. That would be awesome!XD But now that you can aim your fire and it doesn't get small it's alright too ^^

 

[legendofme]

no it doesn't, but you cant hold it forever, it's got a recharge timer type thing

honestly I'm kinda satisfied with that..

 

[Gimpyfish62]

it's much better that way

 

[ComradeCanada]

How's the length? Could you reach a platform diagonally above you with it when it's aimed?

 

[Inferno_blaze]

In terms of the timer, what happens when the time runs out, doe the move automatically stop or does he stay in the move but not make any flame?

 

[Gimpyfish62]

it just stops, and you cant aim it very high, above directly forward, but not like straight up or anything

 

[geemann2236]

I played Bowser once at E-4-All, and I actually thought that Bowser's Fire Breath had become one of his best ranged moves. Go Bowser!

 

[Inferno_blaze]

It's his ONLY ranged move, hell it hardly qualifies as that.

 

[InjuredPelican]

I think Bowser doesn't have fire balls because he's supposed to be a heavy weight, melee fighter. Fire balls could almost make Bowser cheap, since he'd be super durable and he wouldn't need to get up next to you to hurt you.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

It's his ONLY ranged move, hell it hardly qualifies as that.

bowser has an absolute ton of range, his fsmash and ftilt might hit further away than his fire does lol

 

[Llumys]

Are you serious, Gimp? That's insane!

 

[error_alt_delete]

bowser has an absolute ton of range, his fsmash and ftilt might hit further away than his fire does lol

did they shorten the range or something?
cause I liked the fire when it was your farthest reaching attack...

 

[Inferno_blaze]

Rofl. By ranged I meant "projectile", as in from a distance. Meh, I guess we just call 'em different things from different places.

 

[MikeMoney]

Bowser already takes up half the map lol he wouldn't be able to spam a projectile

 

[PukeTShirt]

I suggested the same thing in my firebreath thread. I think it would be a great addition to bowser. It would keep the same properties of the firebreath we know and love, plus the new stuff that it already has, plus giving bowser more options in his play style. Why not do it? because then bowser would be TOO good.

 

[legendofme]

you cant be serious on his fsamsh and ftilt?

 

[SonicLuigi]

i think bowser could use the fireball thing, but his fire is cool already, but the bad thing is, it runs out of juice


p.s. can someone make me a special sig like gimpys but have it sonic & luigi related? thanks a ton!!

 

[Gimpyfish62]

this is not a sig shop thread, so that will likely just go unreplied to

you want to go to the artwork imporium on the main page, find a sig shop (sugarpoultry made mine, she makes great sigs) read the first post and make a request
