It's more situational for that combo. That would be the correct DI to make that combo possible.
Lol, yes. But Marth basically bops Bowser if he knows the MU.Pretty sure Marth can just bop you. You can, however, put an up-air above him and hope he gets scared and jumps into it.
He bops Bowser even if he doesn't know the MU.
You would be surprised at how the Unknown effect can change the tide of the battle. Most bad MUs are based on certain exploits that can be used by high tiers against lower tiers. If the player doesn't know them then it could go either way.
I don't think that the Up B OoS changes the frame data except by adding the frames of shield. Yes the hitbox comes out on frame 5 after 4 invincible frames (This enables the move to be a useful "Get off me" kinda move alongside with move movement and. To prove a point, Fox's shine has one invincibility frame at the start which makes it outprioritize every move if one hits the shine on that frame, which proves to be very good for Fox nowadays. These 4 frames on Bowser's Up b act the same way). If you look at the Bowser frame data thread, Bowser will show blue for a moment at the start of the animation of Up B. This indicates invincibility. Luckily, on the other frames while the hitbox is out, you are invincible on the lower horizontal ends, which helps at times. Yellow indicates hurtboxes, or in this case called areas that are vulnerable for attack. In the case of Up B, it's basically in the area of the shell. Red, if you don't know, indicates hitboxes, which you probably know what they are by now. Those three are the main areas to look out for in frame data in your analysis. In this case, since the move comes out relatively quick, has invincible start up frames, and has invincible horizontal body parts, the move becomes a great option for Bowser to get out of shield pressure (and basically the only good option in a serious match). What to look out for is if the player goes to attack the shell in the animation to abuse the open hurtbox and if he keeps on getting himself hit by your hitbox (since the hitbox has frames of not being on the same side of you). This can tell you whether if it's safe to approach the opponent due to lack of knowledge or not and back away, and this tells you what you need to due to position the hitbox to add on damage once he gets stuck in hitstun. This is the kind of thing that you have to think about when analyzing basic frame data. It can help you come up with scenarios to use certain moves add how to space them and yourself.
The Peach MU does get tough with turnips, but there's more to it than that. Peach may not have the most guaranteed shield pressure, but she provides much of it with her Dair (situational), Dsmash, turnips (of course), Jabs, Nairs, and Bairs. She sometimes uses shield pressure for a while, but there are times that Peach prefers to use the shieldstun to get a grab for a punish. Her grabs make your world a nightmare with Dthrow tech chase, Uthrow for air pressure, Fthrow fo setup edgeguards. I don't know if she has a chaingrab on Bowser (it's not like on spacies that's for sure), but she benefits still from throws. Peach also can follow you off stage for a while and she probably will have a projectile. You will probably end up being forced to Up B to recover since Bowser falls somewhat fast and his vertical recovery is lacking, and Peach can abuse this with her offstage game with predicting where Bowser will go (of course if you're too far out, she will just edgehog you like everybody else). This alone makes it difficult for Bowser, and I'm sure there's more than what I've mentioned.

gnarly stuff. your grab confirms are suuuper clean im jealous@Kalimari that samus set was solid so it might answer any questions you had. i don't think it's too terrible for bowser tbh.
When the opponent is above you or on a platform above you and you don't think you will have time or the accuracy to pull off an Up Air. Nair can stay active during an entire SHFFL or FF after FH.
Let me just say that I absolutely LOVE your movement.
. My movement is good but sometimes I feel I sacrifice better, solid fundamentals for that .. so I'm workin on that! I'm in a Bowser lovin mood so I'll be playin a lot more Bowser than fox . Watch out for more vids in the near future !

Yeah personally the spacies are the hardest matchups for me because I get smothered easy. But you're definitely right, I gotta play more aggressive and get more hits and trades in. Falco is super hard because double shine straight up beats up b out of shield lol. Time to not play so basic against people who are familiar with bowser hah.I'm with J$. Your movement is beautiful.
In the Falco matchup, I'd say strive to play more aggressively. Kill harder, not smarter. Falco is super fragile and isn't hard to KO if you can get hits/grabs in and get him off the stage. Trading hits is also good in this matchup because he'll usually die at lower percents than Bowser will. If you can get him to play on the defensive and then take apart his defensive game and get gimps, you've won.
As for Peach, I'm not sure what to say. You're already very good at the matchup. Try not to catch turnips, or else experiment with dropping them (Z with no directional input) instead of throwing them (think Home Run Contest
In general, try to mix things up. In those matches, you approached with wavelanded fairs from the platforms a lot (which the commentators called you out on). Work on your footsies and dash dances into running grabs. Use f-tilt, nair, and dash attack more and down-smash less.
Good stuff, for sure! Falco and especially Peach are really hard matchups for Bowser, but you almost made them look easy. Keep reppin' the Boozer!
