Which mindgames do you already know?
With Bowser in Brawl, Here's one thing I know.

.Avoid using forward air A at low percentages, not only because of the then already decreased knockback power but also because it is now much easier to perfect shield attacks. You'll easily get punished with a throw combo or smash attack(especially with Bowser's size) Save this attack mainly as an edgeguard tech. to send your opponent flying. Keep this in mind, especially since the attack decreases in knockback power even at high percentages the more you use it.

You could take lessons from these Gimpyfish vids of his Bowser strategies.

Spacing, spacing, SPACING!!

Since bowser isn't combo oriented at all, learn to take advantage of his range and power. Read your opponents to the best of your ability. I personally think f-tilt is now amazing, and his fair, like Starzaka said earlier, is more punishable... but reserving it for just edgeguarding is silly.

bowser doesn't have any different mind games to anyone else... sigh -.- mind games aren't a thing you learn with characters. Just watch vids ad practice different combos, learn by doing, it's the best way.

Edit-

This guy seems to know what he's on about.

I made it to the semis of my gamestop tourney with bowser, and lost to an ike >.<

By the way, forced random characters FTL!! No offense to bowser lovers, but I had to go against a DDD and two ikes. I'll hate random forever now.
