Hey, Diablo, welcome to the Bowser boards.

First of all, your matches were quite good. You did lack a lot of Fortress in them, though. Fortress is a great tool of approach and defense, and there were several opportunities you missed. Bowser Bomb is a very risky move, especially against characters who have great aerial games such as Wolf or Wario. Also, UTilt, USmash and UAir are some of Bowser's best KO moves, you might want to throw them into the bag, as well.

Some nice use of Klaw and Grabs, though, I like. <3 But don't forget about the Klaw Hopping.

Last but not least, don't worry about the match against Zamus - she's one of Bowser's toughest Matchups, and the Zamus player seemed to know what he was doing.

You jump way too much. stay on the ground, powershield stuff, and keep using those grab releases...I see you know what you are doing there, so keep that up.

hrmm against toon link, zss, and others with tether grabs, try to shield more and dodge less, cause they don't use their grabs as often...and fortress out of shield will win or clash/trade, which is good to keep the momentum more balanced...so yeah use that shield more often I would say.

single jab, (dash)grab, pummel until realease single jab-->B or another grab works on a lot of characters, I use that most frequently unless I know something link a down tilt will work against a character and it will kill them. If the first single jab gets shielded, you can still go for the grab, or mix it up and do something spectacular to bait your opponent. (nothing says mind games like once they expect the grab to dash behind them pivot grab in their down frames of their spot dodge.)

Against wario if it wasn't a friendly I would say air release and **** him, but if it's a friendly yeah I wouldn't bother being a ******* lol.

Other than that just play as much as you can...you will pick up "mindgames" with experience, you can't learn it from reading text really. Good luck!
