Are you certain that the bodyslam is his SideB? Looked like it could be a normal throw to me.
I'm pretty sure he does it from the air at least once, so it's almost definitely the klaw.

Incidently, I think all of you are missing the big picture in terms of the klaw. Can't you see how far he can move with the throw? Eat your hearts out, Kirby and DK...Bowser is the new undisputed king of the suicide KO!

Not sure if everyone has heard the news, but in the Brawl boards they're talking about the removal of wave dashing in brawl. Apparently, the directional air dodge function was removed. I'm not sure if this is true or not, I'm just saying for true confirmation, I believe the first thing gimpyfish should post on his report of brawl is whether or not wave dashing still exist. I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it.

The fortress looks just as fast(and has a sexy new sound).
Bowser Bomb still looks only useable for edgegaurding and sweetspotting so I don't care much for it.
Klaw looks amazing, I just hope that his standard throws have a bit more pushback now.

And I wonder what moves will make him untouchable.

I dunno if it's just the poor quality but the video makes it looks like the Bowser bomb and the claw have some sort of impervious frames. Suicide impervious koopa claw kills FTW! GAH! I can't wait for tomorrow and I'm not even playing it! It's like we're all playing vicarously through gimpy!

Also check if Bowser is impervious to taking a hit from behind with his armoured shell. If not, find the nearest representative at the E for all, tell him to tell his people to tell their people to fix it ... NOW!

Oh and check if Bowser has been given a run animation, we need not any further flatulence jokes to explain how Bowser dashes like in Melee.

Wave dashing might not exist, but I've heard that you dodge the way your momentum takes you in Brawl. That makes wave landing possible by jumping forward, fast falling and air dodging, just trying to look on the brighter side of things

Bowser is a freaking CAR when he runs, let's hope they dont remove that. The only other option they'd have for him is to plod along like he was tripping over his own feet when running, and that'd make him slow AND stupid looking.

I love you for that gimpy. Oh man you have just gotten me SO excited for brawl. It'll be interesting to see what all the Fox mains do, nice that he gets to see what it's like not being a super character for once, will all the fox mains stay him or flee like cowards to metaknight/pit/mario? It's nice to know that the characters I like the most (Bowser, Metaknight, Mario, Pit) are all looking good. OH man that update was epic, just so awesome. THANK YOU GIMPY.

The future is looking bright for the koopa king, lets hope that when all is said and done, and the tier list is oficial and accurate, bowser will be mid to high tier.

Ah yes, Gimpyfish, what's your take on Bowser's tilts? all the same? the ftilt is particulary important to me, does it have the same range, speed, hotbox, and priority? how about damage? Is the jab the same thing too? can the second jab be traded for a fortress or utilt still?

also, I still havent been answered if bowser has the red and blck colors, or any new colors to add.

Edit: I apologize if you answered this in your podcast, but currently i cannot listen to audio.
