Wednesday at 3 PM I have a phone interview lined up--I'm a top 5 candidate to be UT's Walt Disney campus rep this year! I want this job SO bad.

Wish me luck, everyone!

Fish? lolwut.

Also, reading through that BBR discussion kinda made me sick. Lol it took like 3 pages for someone to say "hey, you guys are forgetting about klaw". sigh

oh well. I personally feel Bowser is fine where he is. He can't go down any further...maybe Yoshi might go above him (i have no clue why he would, but someone's going to fit above him, i can feel it)

maybe -1, at the MOST -2 spots. Then that's it. Bowser's there to stay. At his best he's like the 11th worst in this game. So serious.

Fighting for a character with basically no rep at all is such an uphill battle.

I found the BBR discussion for Bowser to be pretty pitiful, even as someone who only uses him in friendlies.

2nd worst?
wat

Oh snap, I just remembered Balanced Brawl.

Guys, Amazing Ampharos is the guy who thought Bowser would be balanced if all his pokes did 2% more damage and his grab release stuff was removed without proper compensation.

Bit of a 180º here huh.

Lol, yeah. I remember the lol-wuts I had with that when it first came out. I assume it hasn't changed much. I guess it's nice to give his throws purpose, but unless they can kill...



EDIT: In the BBR's defense, it's obvious that our opinions would differ greatly from people who never play(ed) Bowser, but 2nd worst REALLY had me raising an eyebrow. The fail of Rule Set 3.0 is really starting to make sense to me.

I suppose it's because at a glance, Bowser seems like a character that still has no options, because he was just so **** terrible in the last game.

All it takes is one good look, and they'll realize he's not as **** poor as he was last game lol. He's slightly better. Emphasis on slightly.

This is why I should have been in the BBR, they don't really have people with educated views on characters like Bowser, I have so much experience with MULTIPLE CHARACTERS, but flarg blarg yarg!

Someone, I think it was Limit, wanted a Snake-ized version of an image I edited awhile back. While I'm not entirely happy with how it turned out (despite having an awesome beard I can't draw one) it's as good as it's going to get, I think.

I've got a new idea for potential improvement in the Bowser Back Room. Everyone go check it out!

Also T-minus 25 minutes until my interview!

How did it go? Any conclusion or is still up in the air?

Also, anybody know a decent WiFi Dedede/Snake that would be willing to tutor me? I just can't seem to focus so well right now, and at this rate it'll take me forever to learn the characters. I simply don't have the patience to watch Brawl vids anymore, except for Bowser and streams of nationals like APEX.

Well personally how I learn is I watch videos and play people...idk, like I play my memory's replica of them and off of the videos I watch. You should ask the Dedede/Snake boards honestly if you want the best results.

I can't remember if this idea came up or not, but we should make Bowser player profiles yo. It'd be mad cute.

I definitely made a good impression, but I won't find out if I got the job till Friday. So keep those fingers crossed!

Bowser player profiles would be awesome.

Because we all seemed to have forgotten and it took me ages to find it (-___-)

An idea turned lol by Vex, Gen and myself, I present to you the Bowser (boards) family tree.

The actually family tree diagram will be made in the next few days when we (Me Gen or Vex) can make one.

Great Grandfather - Gimpyfish
Grandfather - DJ Nintendo
Grandmother - Warriorknight
Father - Vex Kasrani (lol, at first Vex wanted to be a self child producer, asexual guy)
Mother - MrEh? (lulz)
Uncle - IxisNaugus
Aunt - Flayl
Uncle (twice removed, if you don't understand why, ask) - Sliq
Stepmom/dad(?) - BigSerg
Stepbrother/sister - Kyte~
Cousins - Lord Bowser, Bowser King
Children (Sons) - Limit, Liquid Gen, Zeke (iSecretAgenMan)
Children (Daughter) - KingKong
Children (Little Boy) - JayDeth
God I can't believe it's already been almost a year since that was made...well in November it will be, but wow.

Now, since LB is so interested in finding out his parents, I guess you can pick lul. Although since Flayl is the only aunt in this picture.. things might get a little hairy. Unless Flayl likes the idea of having multiple sex offers (euphemism for ***** much? <_<) then I don't think that'd work out.

@Zigsta the thing was made in like mid November so I don't think/can't remember if you were around or not. :x

oh and
What would Bowser player profiles entail?

Uh, idk, names, where you're from, wifi player or offline player, stuff about you that you think is profile worthy? A picture (if you want)?
