Muahaha, we're trapping all the Olimar mains!

We don't main Olimar.



The power of Christ compels you to get USMASHED.

Okay, I'm done here for now. Bye, Bowsers!

EDIT: Also, have a happy new year. ^_^

I invited my closest friends over. We ate pizza, sausages, and Graham crackers dipped in fudge and played Brawl, Bananagrams, and Apples to Apples. Good, good times.

Hope the rest of my Bowser bros enjoyed their New Year. :)

ROB and Bowser are going to benefit a ton from that concerning MK specifically. As for Bowser against any attack, all bets are off, it looks like.

Too bad the same can't be said for Donkey Kong.

So now we can do what we thought we could do 2 years ago and just Up-B the ****.

I guess I have to edit my writeup then. lol

Oh if MK does nado and tries to rise, we can uptilt him.

cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute

thinking about it now, PSC helps a lot with quite a few MUs...if you think about it. Falco's lasers, Bowser's tall enough to PSC the first one and...well yeah. I'm not saying a player can PSC to Dash against all of the lasers but it could work.../theorycraft

do I HAVE to change the shield button to Y? *sigh*

i can't think of more, I just woke up.

i've been using iDA as a punish for hella laggy moves/small ZAirs. Bad, or good? You guys will see what I'm talking about, I recorded...well, am going to record a few games against a friend of mine who uses Link.

What's iDA stand for?

Bowsers NEVER hibernate. We're too cool for that.

instant dash attack, you do it by csticking down from the dash animation to use it as a move out of shield

ive been using it more than i used to just because it has the range and long lasting hitbox to punish air dodging into the ground and it puts them above bowser, which is good

also when your opponent gets hit with dash attack it always makes them feel like an idiot just because of how bad the move is

iDA is amazing to reach **** that you normally can't quickly. Especially moves that have heavy lag and push you too far away for your dash-grab/klaw to reach.

it reaches farther than short-hop klaw too (out of a shield drop I mean)

upb out of shield? that sounds like a pretty good idea on paper. does anyone know if that works in practice?
shield nado, hold up(tap jump off) press jump then B one right after the other extremely fast.

Wasn't Phiddlesticks being sarcastic?

I mean

seriously

if you play Bowser and didn't know you could UpB OoS against tornado shame on you.

The real problem comes from MK's height. He can be high enough to shield pressure you without getting hit by fortress. With the PS technique we might be able to PS into UTilt. Maybe.

I love Phiddlesticks.

Know what I've also been loving lately? Upsmash at low percents to grab. Upsmash > grab > GR Klaw is soooo satisfying.

Yeah Gen told us a few years ago that USmash from the back/front has properties akin to Fox's UTilt.

I just never bother using USmash like that though.

BAir is a god for recovery trapping/surprise killing. <3 my favorite aerial.

That's actually where I got the idea from. :p I found it interesting, seeing as I had never seen a Bowser actually do it in a video before.
