Hey all! I'm sure some of you might recognize me from the other thread I posted about Bowser and his Down B. I'm back again asking for a few tips on Bowser. Bowser use to be one of my favorite villains of all time, and while I did like using him for fun in Melee and Brawl, I never really got too serious with him. I was really excited to hear that he was going to be really viable in the new Smash and I love using him!
Now I come to you all asking for a little help. I know I need to work a lot on my timing with some attacks and tweak my strategy a bit, but I definitely need some helpful tips with Bowser.
First is about his BAir. I know it's extremely good, but how exactly would I land this better and not look so obvious doing it? I don't just jump backwards all the time and try to hit with it, if I do that I at least try to mix up my game by doing NAir or just landing. Sometimes I try to run forward, do a quick pivot back and then try to get it, but I think I do it too early and jump over them or too late and get shielded.
Some other habits I have with Bowser, which might be good are:
1) I Dash > Fortress on the ground. I find that it works really good.
2) Dash > Shieldblock > Throw
3) Jump-in fire for those projectiles/extra damage
4) I keep trying to do the one trick where I can do his Down Smash, Up Smash, or Side Smash after running. Sometimes I get it and sometimes I don't. I have a lot of trouble trying to get the FTilt out after the dash trick, but sometimes I can get the UTilt or DTilt.
5) Dash > Roll back/forward to fake them out
6) Short hops/fast falls to try and bait.
7) Suicide if we're both even stock (sometimes, not all the time.)
I've noticed though I do have a lot of trouble trying to get his F Smash to land, as well as his UAir. Shields/rolls seem to rock my world on those, then again I'm sure it's just the timing. Also, does the Diagonal Up/Down have any different effect on the F Tilt? It doesn't seem too different in terms of the hitbox.
If I can get any tips on my playstyle and maybe how to land some of these things I will greatly appreciate it.!
