Why do you play as Bowser, be it main or secondary?

Hm... I have more than one reason. I think this list should contain most possible reasons:

- Because he's (one of) my favorite Mario/Nintendo character(s).

- Because I like his style of playing.

- Because I just picked him randomly and fell in love with him.

- Because he looks hawt.

- Because he's NOT a high/top tier character.

- Because of Bowserciding.

- Because Bowser isn't a commonly used character anymore.

- for the lulz


I'd have to say... it's every one of the reasons above, excluding randomly picking him and "for the lulz".

PS: Isn't there a way to make a poll here?

well i use him because he's a very capable character, and when you know and understand how he plays he's a force to be reckoned with.

1. He is the freaking King of Koopas! Epic Win!
2. He has a sexy F-Air.
3. He can do the infinite jump very easily.
4. He is underestimated as an opponent.
5. I tend to main characters who are underused anyway (except for Snake).
6. Bowsercide is overrated...

Bowser is fun because he

1. hits like a truck.
2. shakes the entire stage every time he jumps.
3. isn't taken seriously and can catch most players off guard.

1. Bowser is the lulz
2. F-Smash/ Gimpyfish Combo feels more rewarding than any other smash.
3. Bowsercide is LMAO
4. Controller vibrates vigorously when you land from a jump.
5. Bowser has a sexy F-Air and U-Air
6. Bowser's crawl, trip, and dance taunt is hilarious

kinda-main, I'm best with him and use him the most (like 25% out of all of them, I just go random a lot on friendlies)

because of his b moves and his uptilt

Uptilt is way so good. Not really but yeah, I love using it to hit people behind me. It's hard to do but whenever I do I'm like YEAH and I tap them and they fly off the screen at like 110.

I main Bowser because he's a bamf.
No one expects him to do good.
The expressions people have when Bowsercided or Headbutted.
White Bowser looks like a PIMP.

And cuz he's so CUTE AND CUDDLY!
:D

You seemed to have missed the most important bit about him being cute. Ah I loved bowser ever since I discovered him in melee, he so darned cute though.

I'm so glad they made Bowser a bit faster. He is now better to control. I always did play as Bowser, but with his Melee speed it was a bit difficult.

Bowser was improved in every area when he came from Melee to Brawl IMO. I know Zoodlebeans is ridiculous with him. Zoodlebeans Bowser is untouchable.

Is it because he uses his shield alot, or because he knows wich move to use when he's being attacked?

I did not know she was a girl. Is she also pro with other characters?

Sounds like a good idea to me. It works so well but if you're dumb enough to get caught in the Bowsercide it's your fault anyway.
