At 1:05 it looks like Bowser's up b sends Mega Man downward. Very interesting.

Edit: There's also evidence of it here at 0:55

Well he certainly appeared to be in hitstun on the way down, and if SDI is as bad as it's been reported to be then he probably didn't DI down and away, actually I doubt anyone would in that situation seeing as you'd have to recover low and become easy to edgeguard. I think we'd need more evidence before we could call it but considering they way grounded fortress works now I'd say it's plausible.

Hm, well if this turns out to be the case. I'm excited to see how much we can exploit it. I do agree that we need more evidence, but I'm definitely hopeful.

You can't use it to go off stage... but it seems like a good edge guard regardless. Especially if it always sends your opponent off stage instead of randomly going right or left.
