These are the types of players that give me the most problems. Projectile spamming in itself isn't that hard to deal with but the turtling/defensive style is the thing that pisses me off. It's like they're too afraid to duke it out with me and my bowser so they run away like a little *****.
I can handle most players that actually try to go on the offensive cause bowser seems more like the defensive character being a turtle and all especially with his techniques. Fortressing out of shield, large shield for shield grabbing, large range (f-tilt, u-tilt) and his aerials have a pretty large range as well. High priority and the attacks come out decently fast, especially the basic a slash which is great defensively.
But bowser having to go on the offensive I have difficulties especially if they have projectiles.
Like this one friend of mine. He's really good at this style and it just infuriates me. He uses R.O.B. Toon Link, Diddy Kong, Shiek. His rob lasers and throws gyros while running away all the time with or without rolls and bowser moves too slow to punish. And if you notice R.O.B's aerials are all defensive which is amazingly annoying. Up smash is annoying, d smash is annoying. His toon link throws bombs boomerangs and arrows all the time while generally running away. Diddy kong is just annoying, not to mention his lagless dash attack. And shiek is too fast when running away. Then she throws needles at me.
Basically a hit and run strategy slowly racking on damage until they can get me off stage to which he finally goes on the offensive and does ghey edge guarding. Oh and basically I have to do almost all the approaching which is annoying cause bowser doesn't have that many options.
If its a throwable item, usually jumps above the ledge and chucks the item at the ledge with the correct timing or follows me off the edge and does normal edge guarding which in itself isn't too bad. And lasers and bombs and gyros flying at you.
Sure powershield is all I can do, and firebreath stops the gyro but then he just lasers you some more. Or chucks a bomb above you. My friend is good, just his playing style is so **** annoying. And I just feel that hit and run with projectiles takes less skill than actually duking it out.
IF you play tennis competitively which I used to. These are similar to hackers, choppers and slicers, of the tournaments. I hate them.
Bowser is moves too slow and hit and run is too effective on him.
