How do people do that thing where it looks like they're charging up a smash, but they Up-B instead?

You're probably mistaking the opening animation for dsmash with up-b's opening animation.

OMFG, my bowser is officially a senile indestructable beast. Someone take him out for real man. that ****** too beast omg.
senile doesn't seem like a positive thing when somebody is fighting but... >_>;;;;
Senile? So like sometimes your Bowser forgets what its doing?

Lmao, yea i dunno wats goin on here, hes gone mad lol. Hes black and Shows no mercy to anybody. I beat m2k wit him lol i dunno wats goin on.
I just got a job at jetblue doin standby flights so u know ima start travelin around and then its over.
I would like your fellow boozers opinion on this. I can't resist the urge to bowserbomb my way from building to building in fourside, you know, running to the edge, hittind down b, and letting the bowserbomb take me to the ledge of the next building. It's pretty much just for fun, but am I setting myself up for a serious disatvantage by doing this? or is there any way i could use this as a move to my advantage? I also use it on that annoying DK stage whose name i cant remember, the one were kranky kong appears.
Fourside is banned, but that still seems like a waste of time...
However, WK you must now fly back down to RI Aww Yeaaa

Ledgebombing is one of my favorite things to do as Bowser (right after beating people with him). I'm not sure why I get so much satisfaction watching Bowser hover in the air for a second before plummeting at a ridiculous speed, only to stop as he hits the ledge.
Of course it's a stupidly risky move, since if you mistime it even a little you either land on the ground, completely vulnerable, or throw yourself to the pits. Still fun as heck to do though.

bowser has like 4 "bread and butter) moves because he's so bad
ftilt
klaw
fair
upb
klaw is the worst of those but hey it's bowser you shouldn't be expecting a fox usmash or something
use klaw for tech chasing, edgeguarding, ledge games, and when you think that they think you are gonna fair (so they shield)

His Uair is also incredibly useful, as is his bair for edgeguarding... His firebreath can mess up spacie recovery when they sweetspot, his u-tilt is good to use on platforms...
Yeah you seem to know nothing about bowser huh

! What on earth...
Gimpy, regarding the klaw techchase, will it grab someone if they are doing their rising attack? It seems you use it rather freely. Or do they always just rise for some reason?
you cant klaw them while they are doing their getup attacks because they are invincible while doing that, but you wait until near the end start a klaw and there is no escape
HideousBeing
Smash Ace
Mm. Some characters I'm guessing, would be harder to do that with. Like CF.

Yup. Its harder alright.
You know what really sucks? Phantom hitting the Klaw. Yes you heard me right. It SUCKS. lol I was comboed right after.

Man, I thought I was a pretty good Bowser player, but I have yet to put the essentail techniques in my game. Gimpyfish is the only other Bowser player ive seen which could own my Bowser without losing a stock. Ok, maybe he would lose 1 stock in a 3 stock match. Im good to a good extent, I just need to put in a few more things like Fortresshogging and ill be great :D.
P.S. Gimpy, what do you think is bowsers WORST move? Is it ever used in advance Bowser play? I mean Boswer is so powerfull i think any of his moves can be used for some, even if case-only, extent. I use the phrase "To an extent" too much >.>

I know I'm not Gimpy, but I think his down air is probably the least useful; high lag even when l-canceled and easy to avoid and/or DI out of if hit, it's so situational that using it more than once a match for surprise isn't a good idea. Either that or his one-two punch, which leaves him extremely vulnerable if he tries it at low percentages.

I like to use the down air after a short hot twords but not directly on a person. This way even if the attack doesn't hit them initially they may still be hit by the ending frames and be bounced for another attack afterwards. This is also useful because if by chance they attempt to attack you, you'll already be in the attack position and will mostlikely counter anything they were about to do. Also for people who shield grab alot this is great because the ending animations tend to send a last attack out far enough that if they shield it, they wont be able to reach you afterwards unless they have some sort of chain grab like samus or link.
all of his moves are situational and effective in their situations
i can see why people would say down air, but bowser's down air can be used in the same way as ganon's reverse up air edgeguard if you find yourself way out of position for the actual edgeguard, and is effective for dash dance grab campers and what not because of how long the aftershock lasts...
i dont know, all of his moves are useful, some are clearly better, but most of his moves are simply situational *shrug*

what about his twin scratch moves? I still think those aren't very good unless their percentage is very, VERY high

Are you talking about his Neutral A jabs?
if so i like Neutral A jab- interrupted with the U-tilt.. that makes me happy.

Like in your videos, how do you execute an UpB from the stage to the ledge.

I'm currently a ness and marth user, and thinking of adding bowser as a third. I'm not sure, could someone give me some Pros and cons? Or experience users have any word on this?
Ness players cannot play Bowser. It is against the code.
