Overview

Bowser baits the opponent into committing to bad options and risky approaches, and uses his comically immense strength to quickly take stocks and win in few interactions. Being the heaviest character with an amazing Up B out of Shield, Grounded Whirling Fortress (gWF), as well as an extremely damaging projectile in Fire Breath (FB), Bowser is also extremely competent as a defensive character that can easily escape pressure in neutral and punish poor spacing. Still, his high grounded speed, good aerials, and pressure tools make Bowser's aggression competent, meaning Bowser can be played in a number of different ways.

Bowser's most useful move is arguably his F-Air, an especially large move that has a sweetspot on his claws and a sourspot on his arm, both of which function as kill moves due to their strength. This move gives Bowser the ability to use the move both falling to space and pressure, and rising to catch jumps and edgeguard. This move also functions as a combo starter due to its low landing lag, comboing into Bowser's Dash Grab at low percents. Bowser's N-Air is also very large, and has weaker hits on his arms that can kill confirm into B-Air at high percents.

Once Bowser gets in, his options to prevent the opponent from getting back to a neutral position are some of the best. His F-Tilt is great for this, as the downward-angled version of Bowser's F-Tilt can 2-frame most recoveries, killing the opponent a very significant amount of the time, though this can be hard to time due to its small window. U-Tilt is a large crescent scratch above Bowser's head, hitting both sides of him and being excellent at catching opponents' attempts to land. These tilts, along with Jab and D-Tilt, have intangibility on Bowser's arms, making them disjoints by technicality.

Though most of these moves are unfortunately mostly unsafe on shield, Bowser's last card up his sleeve is his signature command grab, Flying Slam. Being a frame 6 option (tied with WF as his fastest move) and being a command grab, it is a significantly important part of Bowser's playstyle, as it can be used to approach, techchase, punish, mixup, and kill quite early for how fast it is.

Bowser can confirm a stock very early and snuff out low-range opponents' options with his large hitboxes and decent grounded speed, and his pressure is great due to the use of FB. Though he is quite committal frame-wise and suffers in some aspects of his design, Bowser is still a great character and may very well be the best of the large characters.

Summary

Bowser is a hit and run character that uses his good movement speed to approach his opponent and score strong damaging hits with his highly damaging moves. (Placeholder)
Pros	Cons
Heavy as a Tank: Bowser is the heaviest character in the game, allowing him to tank strong hits and still live at higher percents Hits like a Tank: Many of Bowser's moves are capable of killing at low percents and do high damage. Good Movement: Although not as fast as characters like Fox or Sheik, Bowser is surprisingly fast for a superheavyweight character. Thus, he will not struggle as much compared to other slow characters when approaching.	Combo Food: Bowser has one of the biggest hurtboxes in the game, making it very easy to combo him. Poor Disadvantage: A slower than average airdodge combined with poor rolls and techs means that Bowser will struggle to get out of pressure.

Tough Guy

Bowser has passive knockback-based armor (19 KB) that allows him to withstand weak attacks(e.g: Rapid Jab and weak projectiles). Tough Guy requires the armor threshold to be breached for attacks to deal hitstun and knockback, and Crouch Cancelling significantly improves the knockback range Bowser can withstand.

This allows Bowser to tank through weak zoning projectiles and attacks that would normally cripple his approach due to his large body.
