According to the tier list v4 OP, even though Bowser and Ness are mid tier, they are considered "upper low tier" and are acceptable for low tier events.

Just saw the new tier list. Bowser is obviously a trend setter. That's 3 in a row he's dropped. It's been one spot each time, but still.

And lol at Zelda. I know it's hard to make an agreeable list with all the characters Brawl has, but each one I see something that makes me go, what the ****. Mostly it's Wario's drop that I question the most, though Zelda's placement is REALLY mind boggling. :/

I can't play Ganon, haha.

I think my Jiggs is my best low tier right now, but Mario's my second best.

Can I ask why you post in a different shade of violet/purple everytime though?

I really don't see a problem with his font <_< I haven't had to highlight anything he's posted yet. It's worse on AiB ;-;

I don't care enough about what you say to highlight it.
You read it, so your point is invalid.

edit: if you dont mind could you answer this in a non-obnoxious colour so i can like, i dunno, read it

thanks ^_^

I go out of my way for no one in a manner like that. That includes changing my font for anybody. You don't have to read my posts, nor assume my motives. You're the one being obnoxious.
yo im not being obnoxious, im just wasting everyones time for absolutely no reason at all!!!

youre lucky i cant post in wingdings on smashboards
Took me a try, but I was able to read that. You're wasting your own time. And how am I lucky that you can't waste more of my time?

All shades of indigo. Violet/purple is for men. I don't always do it, but I started to so less people would come to situations like these. I moved from this to this to this, none of which are that hard to read in my eyes, but people still complained. There's always highlighting/other skins, but I never stopped switching between them.

And that 2nd part x100. lol Mewtwo Skin.

Guys how do you think Bowser fares against the top tiers (with planking and infinites legal) compared to Ike?

IMO:
MK - They both do really bad
Snake - Looking at each characters tools Bowser should do better unless Snake has a hard time punishing Ike's spaced FAir or something
Diddy Kong - I thought they'd be both equally bad but according to the Diddy VS Ike MU discussion Ike does better
Falco - Bowser does better
Ice Climbers - I really have no idea, no MU experience whatsoever
Marth - Both boards say the MU is disadvantaged but not that bad.
Wario - lolcg, bite and crazy aerial mobility, Ike only really has to deal with the latter
Dedede - lolcg. Can Ike shield pressure Dedede with spaced jabs?
Pikachu - They both get CG'd pretty bad. Don't know what to think besides that.
Olimar - They both do equally bad
Lucario - Not that bad for either
G&W - Bowser can't do anything about planking except on YI, Pictochat and maybe Lylat's besides edge-hogging, is that enough? G&W has an easier time pressuring Ike's shield, but Bowser's spacing is easier to overcome. Equally bad?

So my current opinion is 2 - 3 advantage Ike =/

MK - Bowser does better than Ike, but both are still pretty abysmal in it. Bowser has some decent tools against MK IMO.
Snake - I see them both as nearly equal here, but Ike's recovery is hurt a lot more than Bowser's. Bowser has to deal with more grabs, tilts and projectiles.
Diddy - Ike does better, I agree. Insert a pic of Bowser getting faceraped here.
Falco - What Flayl said.
ICs - Bowser's size really screws him over here. Hella hard to avoid them on the ground and in the air, and poor vertical recovery makes it impossible to survive CG > F-air spike over the edge. Ike's not much better, but his F-air and N-air come in handy for this MU.
Marth - I like this MU actually. Easier on Bowser than for Ike, Up B OoS > most of what Ike has, save for maybe jabs.
Wario - lolD-airspam/aircamping has its fun here. F-smash can be grabbed/Side B'd out of if timed right, though. Ike gets gimped pretty easily, but his damage won't get racked up as fast.
Dedede - Pretty sure Ike has it harder. Hardly ever a safe time for him, particularly off stage, and his jabs become especially predictable. Bowser gets hurt by U/D-air but his F-air, Side/Neutral B and F-tilt make up for it, to me at least. Nothing really to comment on for CGs or offstage, both get ***** by them and B-air.
Pikachu - This MU sucks badly for both, lol. If I had to pick who has it worse, I'd say Bowser.
Olimar - What Flayl said.
Lucario - It's much harder for Ike than for Boozer. Both Bowser's and Luc's U-tilts **** the other, while Ike gets ****ed over big time by Luc's F-air.
G&W - Not very much experience or knowledge in this MU. Shield pressure seems like the bigger disadvantage here, but it's pretty bad for both either way.

MK - Bowser does better. They both get ***** though.
Diddy Kong - They both do bad, but Bowser just gets the shaft on this one.
Falco - Bowser. Definately.
Ice Climbers - Bowser gets *****. Seriously.
Marth - Bowser does better.
Wario - They both lose.
Dedede - Klaw it up yo.
Pikachu - Bowser probably does better.
Olimar - Pretty bad for both.
Lucario - Seems like a fair fight all around

Yeah, sure. Ask away. Also, I feel like we need a bbgd title change. -.- The fact that I'm in love with a white princess is old news.

Gold/Melee Black

Ice Climbers.

7.) Easiest win for Bowser in your own opinon?

14.) Do you like the Bowser Community?

As small as it is, yeah. I've gotten used to everyone here.

15.) Who is Bowser's rival as in who do you find yourself doing even with in tournaments, boards, and just battling?

I don't really get the question...it's worded really awkwardly and explained even worse -.-

Rival as in who is he closest to match-up wise, tourney/character ranked wise, your rivalries/characters you personally go even with, etc.
I'm saying DK because of fanboyism/personal experience.
