if it's
This, or hit them from above/above and slightly behind if possible. It's easier against Roy since he's bigger, has a weaker recovery, and has that hangtime after the hitboxes end, but it is possible to do the same to Squirtle.
Sorry, it's really clear you've never played bowser seriously, or learned the matchup against him. There is nobody in the game (including Ganon) whose kit is so consistently laggy and/or unsafe across the board.
Bowser beats falco because Falco's projectile doesn't do any damage (therefore Bowser doesn't mind crawling through it - unlike pretty much every other projectile in the game) and Falco's throw game sucks. One of his very few positive matchups.
It helps, but that doesn't mean Bowser can actually approach people with projectiles. At best, the person throwing the projectile is an idiot and takes a dtilt for about the same amount of damage that the projectile did in the first place. I shoudn't need to point out that this usually doesn't happen. Everyone can play runaway vs bowser.
No, it doesn't. He doesn't leave the ground any faster than normal, you need to burn your DJ (and are therefore completely hosed if you miss), and can't use any attacks until the DJ animation is done. Please restrict your commentary to characters about which you have any idea wtf you're talking about.
yes
hard disagree. as soon as mario doesn't lose to marth fair that MU goes downhill for marth very fast. i personally would be quite comfortable against any marth in the PM community as mario- a character i don't play at all.
I'm not too in the know with Bowser, but can't he choose which direction to throw you? If so, the throw itself is fairly quick and could definitely serve as a DI mixup. Regardless, the throw kills pretty early for a command grab. It's nothing to scoff at and is definitely a helpful addition to his kit. To be honest, I think what holds back Bowser the most, and most of the fatties in general, is the fact that they are just giant hurtboxes begging to get combo'd.
You don't have to play Mario to know how to play Mario LOL
i'm glad someone with a 3 month old account gets it.
No, I just need to proof read and think out my posts better lol. When I said he didn't need to be changed, I meant he didn't need to be changed from a balance perspective. From a design perspective, he really should be changed. He doesn't NEED to be changed because he is a viable, albeit weak character, but he still SHOULD be because his concept is toxic.
He's a pretty cool guy.
He been broke since 2.1
People's opinions of where he belongs on a tier list will vary across the board, but I'd say he fits Mid quite well. His only major problem is that PK Fire is his best option 95% of the time. If they were to nerf that move and compensate him by buffing his other neutral options, he'd be solid.
@Umbreon please enlighten this gentleman.
There is no mixup. The fthrow combos some people at some percents, but otherwise will put you too high for bowser to follow up. It will never, never ever kill you directly.
Yea it's definitely possible, I've been shine spiked consistently out of my UpB by a good fox. Squirtle still needs mixup like everyone else.
You mean Ness's DJ?
You pretty much got it.
So let me get this straight.
I'd also argue that KDJ and Dart are both more experienced players than Wolf and Lazarond, considering that KDJ was active back in 2007 (?) and Dart has been active for at least two years before Lazarond began to play.
KDJ I can get behind, but Dart's sort of on and off. He doesn't play on a consistent basis right? Even if Dart was more experienced than Lazarond, Lazarond's no slouch himself. Despite that, Lazarond has had a consistent losing streaking against Dart for some time now, so I thought that was strange.
seriously? whats the prob man
