Now, a random question for you foreign Brawlers. What's your government like?
Probably the least corrupt government in the world, but they still do stupid things that make people hate them.
Over the past ten years the government has tried to make the country more like the US (lower taxes, users of hospitals, schools, libraries etc. have to pay for everything, widening the social gap between rich and poor, less support for renewable energy research etc.) but we recently had change of government to a more socialistic one. Time will tell if things improve :)

Oh and I'm just an ex-Brawler chiming in. Hope that's ok. I just stopped playing Brawl for good after Berlin Calling 2 :ohwell:

Yo, Bowsers. I'm starting to pick up on Bowser. Don't be offended by the penguin under my picture, I mean well! I wish to learn the ways of the fire-breathing turtle, so I'll be stopping by more often! ^_^

And I know I've made a post like this in other socials, but I mean it this time. >_>

Impending college life is freeing up a lot of my time and unlocking my travel ability, so I will probably be either across the coast or down in Texas within the coming year.

Limit, you should aim for WHOBO. It's tentatively the weekend of June 8.

Hm... I support protesting SOPA, but taking down the MLG network to spite the people who probably DON'T support it?... That seems a little silly to me. Like, if you wanted to protest lost wages where you work and you do it by working without pay for a day. :/

I dont think thats the point Jay. The point is to raise awareness so more people understand its serious and they can experience what the internet would actually end up being like if SOPA passed. The fact that they call it a protest is more just a way to justify it without making people mad.

I've been working on incorporating b-reversed Bowser Bombs into my gameplay. I've got a little trick where I run towards the ledge as if to edgeguard, bait an airdodge back onto the stage, and b-reverse Bowser Bomb the airdodge. I've also been testing out just running away and then b-reverse Bowser Bombing. It's also pretty cool on Battlefield--Bowser's on the ground floor with his back to the opponent and slightly diagonal of the opponent on the top platform. People REALLY don't expect a b-reverse Bowser Bomb in this situtation.

Granted, this goes largely against my mindset of keeping Bowser as grounded as possible, but it's a handy gimmick/mixup that could help from time to time.

I'm going to a tournament today and might work it into my tournament play depending on the situations I'm in. I've gotten pretty good at the timing and execution of it, but I could definitely use some more practice.

So what happens if the opponent has an above average reaction time...

you fall, and then you're wide open

Isn't that Bowser in a nut shell though? Hell, even if you succeeded you can fail sometimes, lol.

EDIT: And before I forget again, I demand an explanation from someone (A Clash of Kings related). So, Arya is trying to get home. Okay. She gets captured by the Lanisters and taken to that one castle. Okay, so far so good. She helps her brother's bannermen take the castle and... continues using a false identity...

Pivot bombs and pivot dtilts were things I'm trying to incorporate too.

I'm pretty sure ages ago I mentioned pivot bombing here, and got told it's bad. Zig I should just forward all my ideas to you so people will listen to them.

As for the opponent having bad reaction time, low tiers can't afford to have conservative mentalities. The reason why they're low tiers is because they don't have mindlessly safe options, or offensive options that are stupidly easy to land. You can't afford to just do chip damage as a low tier, you have to take risks.

Wasn't he just told it was a bad idea?
So... you want people telling Zigsta that your idea is bad, instead of you?



Besides, it's all about that true-pivot d-smash.

dre it's not like zigsta will automatically get a "hey, that's a great idea!" out of me

if it sounds stupid as ****, i'll tell the person regardless of whether i know you or not.

you said it before, i said that was a terrible idea.

zigsta's saying it now and my opinion is still the same

I bet you'd call it stupid if I said to gimp Ness's recovery with fire-breath.
Even though I did it to Shaky last night. :awesome:

I play conservatively but still practice janky gimmicks because you never know when you can use it. So yeah Dre, I take whatever, haha.

Nick, that's not stupid! Gimping Ness with Firebreath is legit.

Gdubs, who said that?

Last-hit Firebreath is the best move in the game :troll:
I beat him in matches with Bowser though.
Why am I amazing?

Yo, flame tickle (I forget the name MrEh gave it) was already being used in 2008 against spacies! I don't remember Ness being brought up because I think none of the Bowsers at the time played any Ness mains but yeah it's the same application and it's great.

B-reversing bowser bombs on the other hand :awesome:

Golden Globes are a joke. Kung Fu Panda 2 didn't get a nom, but Cars 2 did.

Watch, listen, possibly make money.

Also, that IS me, and that's my real name.
Problem?

But I don't want Visa gift cards. I want store credit plox.

I want minecraft (which is $26.50) and Premium Membership on here ($4.50?) that's $30 so I wanna win 3 times and you just buy me e-gifts.


Could you do that?

So guys, Bowser is #26 on the Japanese Tier List, that's a whole 6 spots higher than our list. Do you guys have any idea why this would be? Do them Japanese players have some secret techs or strategies we dont know about?

Off the top of my head, PT and Yoshi.

There just isn't enough lower tiered rep in Japan to sort Bowser accordingly.

they probably don't mess up grab releases and they only use mostly static stages.

DK, Sonic, Luigi, Ness, PT, and Yoshi are all characters that are below him, unlike our list.
