On this subject, there's a term we've been using for a while that I can't help but take some issue with...
"Poke and Punish Gameplay™"
What character, to some extent, DOESN'T poke and punish? Every character throws out attacks in the hopes that something will land or that they can bait out an attack of some kind that they can then punish.
Am I missing something here? Is it really even worth calling that a kind of gameplay style...?
Or is this a polite way of saying Bowser has no approaches to speak of?
Oh, and just to hammer my earlier point home:

Now that DK has his guaranteed hoohaa, ZeRo considers him high tier and that he can "hang around with the top tiers" now.
This confirms my suspicions: Bowser is ONE kill confirm off of a throw away from no longer being mid to trash (since everything below B-tier is kinda amorphous...).
ZeRo's advice on fighting DK is awesome: "Camp him out!", which beats the strategy Bowser often gets used against him which is "get in his face and don't let up".
