Widely considered the most competitively viable heavyweight fighter in Smash Ultimate prior to Kazuya's release (and if we're splitting hairs, even with Kazuya's release), Bowser has a very commanding presence in low, mid and some parts of high level, with a few yet prominently noteworthy representatives at top level. Today we'll be looking into just what sets him apart from other members of his class.

Bowser's very beginner friendly with how large of a window you have for attacks, along with the fact that a lot of the times you don't even need to ever do smash attacks to kill, at all.

@magicmanfk

the issue is that tiers are determined by top players, and at top level play advantage state is so clean that bowser's disadvantage state, even when played well, can't keep up. It's great to have an amazing advantage but it doesn't matter if losing neutral once or twice means death. Kazuya is the exception since he has his own 0 to deaths and can kill from any % with ewgf.

Top players are cool and experinced enough to know Bowser struggles to get a good hold if you out patience him. Bowser is either a punisher or the one being punished. There Is almost no in between. I say he is a solid mid tier, maybe even a lower high tier if we are being generous. His main issue is his huge hurtbox and disadvantage state. A decent luigi can easily kill him within a few seconds of pulling out the vaccum grab.

Its not that they face an uphill battle. Its just that people who gravitate to heavies generally are worse at the overall game of smash. They gravitate to the characters that have physical advantages and are easier to get kills with. And so the road to competitive pro level is generally easier and doesnt take the same degree of lab-ing, drilling and creativity that other characters take, so they miss out in the long run. A heavy main doesn't develop the same due to their strengths that can tend to bail them out of situations. When that happens over a long period of time it can create blindspots and missed opportunities for growth at the overall game. The strengths of the heavy turns into their weakness, the higher up in comp they get. They get to pro level and everyone else there has generally had a much more rigorous climb to the top. A few mistakes can mean a stock, where as outside of pros a few mistakes from the opponent would generally mean a win for the heavy.

I mained Bowser back in 4, and once I unlocked him in Ultimate he became my go-to pick for unlocking the other characters (this was before the patch that lowered the difficulty of Challenger's Approach btw). While my current main is Sephiroth, I should go back to Bowser sometime since he's everything I look for in a character: He moves fast and jumps high despite being a heavyweight, hits hard, has small but easy to perform combos, and is a villain. From my experience, his only drawbacks are his size which makes him easy to combo off of and his recovery can leave him open for punishment. The benefits he has easily outweighs the negatives.

Bowser is my secondary and I love him. Compared to other heavies, he feels like the fastest one. In all regards. Like the guy was tired of getting bullied and went to the gym and finally did legs and cardio instead of just powerlifting. DK feels like the heavy with the best range as if he was a sword character, KKR the one with the best ranged game samus style, Ganondorf is the one that has the best strength and DDD has the best recovery. Or at least that's what they are supposed to have.

@aprinnyonbreak1290 10 ай бұрын
Items, it's cuz I'm vaguely aware that a LOT of characters get touch of death combos if they have an item in hand. Stage hazards are just cuz it's a pain in the ass to turn them on and off instead of being a toggle, or something you could assign by stage. There's a couple stages with hazards that would be preferable with them, but because it's a pain to back out of menus to toggle the option, overall it's better to play with them off. That said There's a couple things that are good. DK Falls with only starman, spawning at low frequency is a good one. DK falls usually sucks because the rock invites camping, but starmen are very unlikely to spawn there, and much more likely to spawn on the stage proper, making an interesting experience that encourages stage control and aggressive play more than Ultimate usually does. I'm sure there's other good exceptions.

I'm glad he's left his sad Meele days behind him, when he was more or less just a glorified punching bag. Not fitting for one of, if not the, most iconic video game boss of all time.

Here’s a lore accurate buff for Bowser that solves the problem of him being combo food (see Bowser’s Inside Story). If Bowser has been in hitstun or unable to act for the last 7 seconds (excluding being put to sleep or in Shield-break stun) he gains the Fury buff for the next 20 seconds Fury: buff categorized by turning red and smoke blasting out of his nose, upon activation Bowser immediately emits a repulse of fire around him and falls straight to the ground (unpreventable). While Fury is active he takes reduced hitstun by 50%, takes 1.5 times extra damage, all moves are 33% faster and deal 1.25x additional damage and hitstun, flame breath now lasts 50% longer, (and now for the casual players) gain instant defeat immunity (just stuff like Hero’s thwack, Zelda’s final smash, and the Scythe item).

Bowser's unique combination of skills devalue his opponent's Shield options. Between Bowser Bomb, Firebreath, Flying Slam and Whirling Fortress, shielding Bowser is usually a bad plan. It's like playing Rock Paper Scissors - but if you play Paper, you lose. That said, evading, spot dodges and rolls tend to be more effective than average against him. He is one of the only characters in Smash that actively dictates which defenses to use.

You already had me when I heard that delicious Paper Mario OST lol, and the video itself was very informative. Bowser is indeed a force to be reckoned with and you made a good job overviewing why. Will look out for more of your content in the future!

In boss battles for most video games, killing the boss requires dealing a lot more damage than you'd be otherwise used to having to dish out. Not only that, but getting hit once can set you back dramatically. In smash, Bowser is the definition of a boss battle.

I think you overstate how many times bowser can lose neutral. He’s absolute combo food, almost as bad as DK. You can often true combo him to 50, and one extension can get you to 80 or 90. At that point you have confirms, even on Bowser’s weight. And his advantage state, while good, is lacking compared to most rushdown chars. Although I do agree that in neutral, he’s the scariest of all the heavies

I love when a bowser tries to side b kill me and i just fly back. A winning the bowser mu by a margin makes for an exciting battle.

Almost every Bowser I’ve fought in Locals with my Samus was either unbeatable or I only beat them by the most narrow of margins. Last win was possibly a suicidal offstage charge shot, last stock high percent damage on both sides. The Bowser might’ve seen me burn my 2nd jump and knew the recoil of charge shot would spell my doom but I panic mashed the b button right after fully charging and fired! Killing the bowser while still dangerously far offstage, potentially without a way back. I’m sure he would’ve won if he shielded. I wasn’t going to survive any more of his ledge pressure.

As a Puff main I have the answer She is an unsafe character Even if you land a zero to death you die so easily and can get walled by any kind of disjoints Also most of Puff’s strengths lie in the air and you can’t shield or parry in the air Think Jigglypuff being almost the opposite of Bowser: you can get kills with a hard Rest read, dair loops or zero to deaths, you can’t afford to make too many mistakes because you die too early
