How, exactly, is Bowser as high up as he is?
1) First problem: Camping. He can't camp, and he's arguably one of the easiest characters, if not THE easiest character to camp. He's a huge target, has no reflector or anything like that, no long range projectile, very slow movement speed, and poor jumping. At least characters like Captain Falcon can attempt to charge forward with quick movement speed and better jumps.
On the flip side of the coin, he can't camp himself. Fire breath obviously doesn't have the range and he obviously doesn't have the speed to run up and breath down on them with fire.
2) Second problem: Recovery. It sucks. Ike's is better in a lot of circumstances. His fall speed isn't making things easier either.
3) His attacks: Obviously, he is fairly strong. However, attack power means squat if you can't hit anything. While he has more range on his attacks then say Jigglypuff, but he doesn't have any disjointed attacks besides firebreath. The range on his other attacks are around average. As for his attack speed, his strongest moves are slow. As in, barely faster then Ike's smashes slow. His next strongest ones have some speed, but not fast enough that they can't be seen coming and blocked. Attacks with good speed on them don't have much in the way of knockback or good range with the exception of his AA attack.
4) Match ups: They suck. I don't think I really have to explain this one.
5) Stages: Due to his slow speed and poor jumping/recovery, he would be easy to counter pick. Simply pick a stage that is either big, requires a fair bit a jumping, or a combination of the two. And he doesn't really have a stage that puts him at an advantage over anyone. BF and SV are the closest things to a good stage for him, but thats simply so he can use the platforms to avoid camping.
6) Tournament Results: They ain't exactly stellar. >_> E ranked IIRC.
Before anyone asks, yes, I am from GameFAQs. However, I'm not a mindless fadder from there. I simply want to know the logic behind such places. While I do have other issues with the tier list, I'll stick with what I feel is the biggest problem, and see what reasoning I am given.
