Anything new for Bowser from the direct?

[AbbiDood]

Bowser is definitly looking beyond amazing so far, or at least compared to Brawl and Melee. Definitly excited to try him out in the new game.

I'm also really hoping his Air Side B jump cancel or whatever is gonna return. Dunno if it has an official name given by the community, but I mean this right here:

Just noticed another new thing from the direct.

Bowser has a new dodge roll, and it looks faster.

Yeah I noticed that too, I got really hype when I saw it. It appears that it also moves him further as well. I remember seeing his forward roll somewhere but I don't remember which trailer it was in; they both look infinitely better than the fat roll he has in brawl.

He has a new back-air. I forgot where I saw it but he just kicks his feet out.... kinda boring to me.

GIF (half speed) of back air. It has a bit of ending lag.

It also has a pure vertical knockback trajectory, but that might be because of Smash Run enemies.

the landing lag could be that there was no active input so he got up slowly instead of doing something else.

Even if back air has the same landing lag as before, the important thing is if it can be used during a short hop without actually incurring said lag. If it's short-hoppable then it becomes a much safer, and more viable, mix-up and pressure tool, especially if it still hits with similar power to all of the previous versions of back-air.

Also, it'd be pretty funny if the reason for the Goomba's trajectory was actually because the attack spiked it down.
