I never thought that he would be a compelling addition to the roster, but the clown car is a very interesting take on him. We only got a brief clip, but he's shaping up to be one of the most innovative characters in terms of implementation, along with Rosalina.

Oh man, this would be incredible if the Koopalings were actually an alt. I would totally be rocking it with Lemmy!
I was totally a skeptic on seeing Bowser Jr being in, thinking he would just be a lightweight Bowser clone, but he looks soooo fun in the koopa clown copter! He might even be one of my favorite newcomers, competing with the Villager and Pac Man!

Kind of disappointed the leak is true since almost all the characters I used in brawl are out: Lucas, Ice climbers, Squirtle, Ivysaur.

Excited though for the koopalings. They've come far from being completely neglected, to allegedly this. Glad they've been making a comeback.

Be neat if Nintendo released a pack of koopaling amiibos, and make it so you can remove bowser jr from his amiibo and put one of them in.
Or just a gigantic one with all of them in it.

Lemmy-main here, I wouldn't be more amazed he's kinda confirmed in too.

I love how when Bowser Jr. gets "confirmed" all we hype about is the other Koopalings.

Another Lemmy guy over here! I really didn't like/know the Kooplaings until Mario Kart 8, but I absolutely adore Lemmy. He's so cute and funny and I'd be hyped to play as him.

I suddenly have no problems with Junior.

The alts and his moveset make up for my hatred for the character. I might actually use him.

He's the Tron Bonne of Smash Bros.

I'll admit that 7 Mario characters is a bit much but at the same time Project M had 7 Pokemon characters and I love that game a lot so whatever plus Bowser Jr was the character I wanted most in Brawl so I'm glad I get him a game later, he doesn't have the paintbrush move set I wanted originally but a Koopa Clown Car move set is just as good in my opinion because it's unique and I never would've thought of it.

Also as cool as it sounds, I honestly don't see the Koopalings happening, maybe as just colors but not straight up model swaps because if you remember what Sakurai said about Lucina, one of the reasons he separated her and Marth is because of the size difference and the reason for that is different hitboxes so for Bowser Jr's case would you really want to say, shrink down Roy Koopa or cut Lemmy's hair just to keep their hit boxes consistant with Bowser Jr?

Sooo other Koopaling-teams, are you here?

Anyway, Team Lemmy is up to 4 members now. Let's wait for the actual clowny kiddo.

So strange how he'll go straight from my semi-main in MK8 to a playable character in a fashion in Smash.

I'll admit that I gave up on Jr. when Rosalina was confirmed. I told myself that as long as I got him, Ridley, or K. Rool that I would be happy... so I guess I'm happy for once... (if this leak is true)

Bowser Jr. looks like he'll be a lot of fun to play! I've always liked the clown car thingy, so I think it's pretty cool to see it implemented as part of this little guy's character.

We need to keep spoilers secret.
This leak is pretty much 100% Legit, but we don't wanna spoil some people.
So no Sub-Forum until he gets his Website Page.
As with all the other characters.

Forget just out of the remaining newcomers, Jr looks like he's the best newcomer out of all of them.

Can't wait.

Did anyone notice Bowser Jr's attacks that have to do with the Clown Car's mouth?
That Clown Car tounge, tho.
Seriously, that Clown Car has a serious case of the Shadow Marios over with that Tounge.

Those are my favorite newcomers as well!

I didn't get to see the videos. :( I didn't want Bowser Jr. to only fight in his clown car but who am I to be picky? I just want him in. Here's to hoping his paintbrush is a taunt though.

Junior is weird for me because he's a character I've always wanted and not wanted at the same time.

The way he's implemented here makes me pretty happy, to be a little honest. But I still want him to use that paintbrush like seriously pls sakurai let him use it for one move.

dont make him use a wand so it's an easy reskin for the koopalings pls

Let's see... Hitbox issues with the Koopalings....

Lemmy, Larry, Iggy, and Wendy could all conceivably fit in a Jr. hitbox. Roy, Morton, and Ludwig are the trouble makers. Still, if they squished down into the cockpit, it might work. The only real issue is what looks to be his up-B, launching out of the car. Maybe the big boys will tuck in their shells when they do this so their hitboxes match?

Alot of threads are going into chaos, while we're just here celebrating and talking about Alternate Costumes.
Dem feels.

I wish Shulk's moveset had as much outright uniqueness in it as Jr.s does, so I didn't have to deal with all of that salt right now.

This is a safe place.

I can't express how happy I am about the attention and recognition Bowser Jr. is getting (despite some only being interested in the Koopalings). I believe the leak now, I do. I also need to find a good Bowser Jr. avatar.

YEAH! A character that I've supported for over a year now (even if I did lose hope when Rosalina came), is actually getting in?! This is great!

Haven't checked but is the Shulk thread salty about the footage? :p

Also, the more I look at Jr, the more I think he's the new Puff/Wario. His air speed looks so fast.

It's basically full of "Ugh, stances." (Even though he's switching arts.) and "Oh look, he has Dolphin Slash. THANKS SAKURAI!"

So...yeah.

But yeah I'm super hype about Jr. Does anyone remember the leaker who said Jr. had a lick attack? I remember wanting that to be true because of something else he mentioned, and now that it is, I can't remember what it was.

Something about "These not being all the characters" or somesuch. I think?
