If you buy premium I think you get like 1 name change a month or something like that
I think its two actually o.o

I still consider myself a novice when it comes to bowser, but I hope to gain enough experience with him to maybe be decent, especially with your guys' help :]

I have a my reasons:
1. A technical Lucas that gets advice from Vex and Liquid on the matchup is kind of scary.
2. I only changed to dk because brinstar is not that good for bowser and it's great for Lucas.

I've use both Snake and Bowser in tournaments, but lately been using too much Snake. So I'm gonna start up Bowser again, so expect me to be active in these boards more often.

As far as my tourney skills, the highest I've placed with Bowser is 5th out of 20, I think.

Good Job Lord Bowser!

I'll probably update this at the end of the week, since I don't have saturday classes.

It kinda sucks a lot that I can't be as active as I would have liked due to me being at school :l

I only know of like 5 people here besides myself that play Brawl, and 50 people play Smash in general...mainly SSB though lol

I used R.O.B. against a ZSS. I... got my bowser hiney handed to me in loser's finals against G&W. It was pretty ugly. He improved a ton while I'm pretty much the same, except I actually teched some of the DThrows, lol.

Dude you didn't fail! You did really well. There was room to do better, but don't see it as if you failed :/ You did great by my standards :3

You'll do even better next time =D

Just don't lose to Trela again :L

Yes, he does mean infinites. On the East Coast...well, in NY/NJ and PA I'm sure, they ban all of D3's small step CGs and Standing CGs he has on any character. All those ledge infinites? Banned.

That's why Vex and I don't really obsess over the problem D3 poses to Bowser, because it really isn't that serious. Over here, at least.

Are his Small step/Standing/Ledge infinite grabs banned in other regions' tournaments?

/yayresearch?

I'm almost positive they aren't banned on the Florida scene. I remember PolMex posting on the Luigi Board what had happened in this crew battle he was in. It was just D3 grabbing, DThrow, Regrab, rinse and repeating for pretty much all three stocks. When it happened on Pol's last stock, he just quit.

EDIT: Here's the vid of it. Truely a test of skill at it's highest level.

That Luigi vid was pretty painful to watch.

But yeah I agree Dedede is far from Bowser's worst matchup without infinites involved, it's just hard to seperate the infinites from the matchup when they aren't banned in many places and there's a horde of people looking for easy wins.

When I host tournaments I ban it but the other guy who does allows them.

Went up against a Diddy in the first round who knocked me into losers then lost to a MK I usually beat, felt I could have placed higher.
