Yeah, this is the best guide in general I've seen let alone Bowser Jr. guide. Props to you and the BowJr community. It was really thorough and enjoyable to watch. I learned several new tricks to add to my bag. Thanks again for taking the time to create this. Have a happy Fall! 😊🍂🍃

Something to add to down throw, to save it from being completely useless, it actually can work decently as a tech chase with side b at higher percents, say ~60-90%. If you side b right after down throw, and they roll in, you can get a free side b to up b kill, if they miss the tech, you can spin out side b and kill, and if they roll away you can drop the up b bomb on them and kill. Pretty fun to use in the scenario, other than that I don't ever use down throw.

I want to add something about Side B that I don't think was mentioned in the video. On the ground, Kart Dash has two speeds that you can choose by either tilting or smashing the stick. If you go the slower speed you can speed it up during the dash, but you can't slow down the faster speed. It's an interesting mixup option, but what's really important here is that they have different knockbacks. So if your opponent is out of range for the Up B follow-up, use the slower dash (i.e. in a tech situation) and it won't hit them as far, increading the window for the up B to connect.

The other content is sick of course but let me just say I think these guides are the gems of the channel. I feel like with this one and the Ganondorf one, getting into the mentality of the character makes it feel so much more impactful Saying Ganon puts fear into an opponent makes people feel hype, talking about Bowser Jr. tilting his opponent and controlling both chaos and control makes it sound like playing a character is an art style, very cool touches

Love love love this video! Only 4:26 mins in, I’ve mained Bowser Junior for a yearish now this is so cute and insightful

Picked up Bowser Jr today. This guide is beautiful. Great work

This is a fantastic guide! This is the only really good bowser jr. guide on youtube, but that's okay because this guide is absolutely PERFECT!. It's on par with izaw's guides, and in some ways it actually includes more details and information than izaw's guides! Great job dude, keep it up.

You got the guide right, but there is still some things I would like to talk about. You can side b and jump out of it even while in the air, it basically grants you a triple jump. Canonball’s falling hitbox also doesn’t disappear when hitting a shield, which means if spaced properly a falling canonball can break a full shield. You can hit twice with side b: if you flick the stick backward while running on someone, you can get both the running hit and the barrel hit which mean you can get a shield break much sooner and easier and go trough armored moves like plant’s down b and do around 28%. Canonball into side b is really hard to time and setup but nonetheless amazing shield break setup. You need to shoot the canonball and run behind it with the kart, if timed properly, you’ll hit the side b during the shield stun of the canonball and you can break a full shield with the tech I mentioned earlier. You really underestimated down throw, it’s the most damaging throw and the only one who can put your opponent in a tech chase situation, and is the best throw to use in the corner if forward throw doesn’t kill due to the angle. If a mechakoopa is in your hand, you can use roll’s invincibility to attack while rolling if it’s gonna explode soon. This is especially useful at ledge. Side b is really great in tech chase situations, especially to cover roll away. Forward air has a really great vertical hitbox which means it can be used a lot of times to finish combos even if the only option seems to be a uair and it can anti air surprisingly high. Bair is too slow to ledge trump, use nair instead. Fsmash is also really great for it’s speed, especially the recovery of the move. Usually whiffing a fsmash grants you a free punish if the opponent tries to punish you: dash backward and do an another fsmash. Works all the time against mid and lower level players. Footstool up b is a really great and usable oos that kills really early. Upsmash is his fastest oos. While holding down during down b to not grab the ledge and do a hammer slam can be great, there is an another option that's really strong: hold down to not grab ledge, airdodge while drifting in, and buffer hammer slam. if timed properly the slam will occur right before hitting the ground. This is a garentueed punish against hard 2 frame attempts with for exemple Lucas's or Samus's down smashes and can be a free way back to center stage if the opponent doesn't predict it and doesn't have the cabability to punish spaced hammer slam on shield.

Goat back at it again with the best character guides on KZfaq 🖤🐐

You can tell how much effort was put into this video. Surprised it hasn't got more views.

2:21 THIS IS THE ULTIMATE

Mechakoopa has a mind of it's own. Sometimes it grabs people when laying on the floor, other times it just walks right through them.. There also doesn't seem to be any consistency with it exploding in your hands, grabbing people, or doing nothing when they hit you while holding it. Mechakoopa explosion doesn't stale and actually has a tiny bit of knockback scaling. You can eventually kill people by repeatedly dropping it on people trying to recovoer. It's surprisingly easy against a lot of characters. It's just like Shotput.. :P If you get hit once you just have to hope the Bowser Jr./Brawler players misses you.

Hell yeah, I've been dying for a new character to pick up, this will be great

Fantastic guide! Helped me out a lot when I was starting out, and now watching it later with more experience, it’s a good reminder of options and is overall very entertaining and informative. 2 thumbs up!

I'm a simple man. Not bae makes a guide and I have a new main for a few weeks. Making me always disgustingly better with my old good main "Random"

In addition to the genuinely helpfulness of the guide, there were multiple instances where i laughed due to comedic lines or timing. All in all, a very solid video to sit through and i will come back to watch it some more even if i've already learned how to play Jr. for the jokes alone.

Great video, but a couple things to note: Bowser Jr. can move faster with clown kart dash by holding a direction on stick (with the exception of backwards direction which causes spinout) also dealing a bit more damage which is increased even more the longer Bowser Jr. travels, jump-cancelling at the start of the move allows faster movement and causes a special sound. When using abandon ship, a player can regain the car for further use if hit by a weak attack through button mashing so gimping doesn't always beat out good Bowser Jr. players. With Clown Cannon, you can have 2 cannon balls in use at the same time, there's less lag if used in the air, and the ending lag can be cancelled with ledge grabs.

Hell ya. Just found the hilariousness that is enjoying this character. Thank you fam

I love bowser jr so much I wish more people played him

as a jr main, this is actually an amazing guide, nice stuff

My main from Smash 4, THE HOMMIE!!!

Chaos Control! I see what you did there 💎

Between his tech chasing and his offstage play, Jr has some stuff going for him.

I enjoy getting the "perfect stock" from "GO!" against gimpable recoveries...: Grounded Side B Jump Cancel Down Air Upon Hit Forward Air (assuming they pop-out in front of you) Multi Jab After Fair Landing Nair Edgeguard Off-Stage Recover Up Taunt

Something I like to use down throw for is that your invincible while drilling. The good players will wait till it ends and your helpless for a moment, but time it right and it can save you.

My boy looking clean with all these combos and nice bowser jr guide

This guide made me want to main bowser jr. Coming back to refresh!

The cannon ball is very good when timed. You should use mechakoopas for combos and cart for approaching

The vocabulary here would make my English teacher proud

This is it, the reason why I play SBU: Bowser Jr.

Sick vid, I personally would love one of these for plant

I love this video! I love Larry! Thanks for the tips!

Great guide!

I love the name he uses in the game 😂

Nice video!

As a samus main, ill have fun picking up jr. To further tilt my schools tournament :)

This is A goated video

Yes!! Thanks NotBae!

gracias lo subi a elite thanks bro =) i love your guide!

I going to a tournament as Larry so this will help. Update if If win. Or lose

no idea notbae played jr but this is a very good guide

I've been using Bowser Jr for literally years and I never knew about the different hurtboxes. I just thought I had either good of bad DI

Would love to see an Isabelle video!

Pls do Peach next :3!!

I understood about a quarter of what you said... 😮

Could we have a K. Rool guide from the best guide maker on YT (Sorry IzAw)

Using cannon ball from a jump can be used somehow close in neutral as the enemy doesnt know if the shot will be airborne or not and jumping is dangerous.

It's funny how this was uploaded today because I was just thinking how nooo one plays this character.

Hey, just wanted to let you know I picked up my controller and gave him a few tries, and by the end of the vid I was 2-stocking level 9s :)

Hey, could you do a Rosalina video? Because the whole dynamic of a puppet. Character Is so interesting and I'm personally trying to learn them. Maybe get verm III to Explain some of her stuff since he been exploring why people don't play sertain Characters.

Bowser Jr encourages me to improve :3

Finally my main that I used since day 1 is getting a great guide! Sucks that I dropped him recently for mii gunner

the koopalings kind of epitomize me as a player. Heavily momentum based, when I'm winning or goin on some crazy comeback they look like actually great characters and can run away with the game with style. But when I'm losing, the whole game feels hopeless and I can't seem to get back in the game.

Anyone remember the Lone Wolf and Cub series of Japanese movies? I think the clown-car is a reference to that.

Very helpful thanks

Your guides are the best!

I feel like Kart Dash is worse after the "buffs". Kart Spin is crazy but the dash itself does too much knockback to combo beyond like 40% when your at full speed, and your basically always going full speed because of jump cancel Kart Dash.. It makes it a lot harder to land the big combos. It also made the window for Kart Dash to Up B hammer a lot lower, but it's like too low now so you need to be close to the ledge to actually KO with it.

Bowser jr. Down throw is rly gud

Idk I just use the lick move it never failed me

Imo Jr has the best f smash in the game. Its big, fast, versatile and strong. Imagine a character like palu or snake with jr’s fsmash. They would be broken.

yeah you missed the best part about junior’s kit.. he has the best pummel in the game.

Omg i play bowser jr and after this video i understood that my skills are so bad😢

good vid but stop using dk in your combo parts, its super hard to copy what works on a dk into an actual match, even if it looks better in the video

I hate bowser jr So I will use this to my advantage

My brain hurts 💨 ❗

Summary: Play annoyingly

Did you just said... C H A O S C O N T R O L?

Lol also remember next to mewtwo and villager u got one of the stickest jabs in the game n can just hold it on the corner of the stage for upwards of 25-90+ damage sometimes even with good di www.homestuck.com/story/6806

Great guide!
