Bowser's Counter Picks

Forward air is a very good move with little lag and large range that is a monster at edgeguarding. Bair kills at 80% from center stage and is frame 8. That is all.

He is a big massive large humongous chunky boy

Side special and aim towards platforms to kill earlier. Especially useful on the top platform of Battlefield.

Fire Breath may be slower than his forward smash, but don't underestimate it. It has long range, can be B-reversed, and deals approximately 30%. It deals ~40% when hit right!

Up smash is great for catching your opponent's landing, dealing 30%, killing early, and having full invincibility on the shell, making it easy to win trades with aerial opponents.

Try not to get edge-guarded, his recovery is linear and can easily be punished if not used just right.

Bowser's Up B out of shield is an amazing move. It hits both sides of you, deals ~16%, and is frame 6 out of shield, making it incredible. Short hop side B out of shield is also good.

Utilize spotdodge cancelling. Bowser's down smash is frame 17 out of a spotdodge, enough to punish most whiffed ground attacks, and kills earlier than 80% on the ledge against middleweights.

Don’t spam dair/down b whenever you’re in air 😂

Bowser's best combo starters are up throw and nair. Up throw combos into aerials at low %s, and nair combos into fair and even has a kill confirm in bair.

Bowser's normals are incredible. Jab deals 16% on frame 8 with little endlag, forward tilt has armor and is a very good kill move, and up tilt has a massive hitbox that can kill decently early.

With this bloke's weight, you can survive at percentages other characters could only dream of. Don't be afraid of trading, cuz *** sure knows that you're hurting them more than they're hurting you.

If you have more stock than your opponent, use Side B to commit a suicide move. This is also great to do in time battles as well.

Grab range is good, Pivot grab range is ABSURD

Forward air combos into forward on most characters. Back air kills on ledge at 70.

this is one i don't see used often but when your opponent is going to recover via ledge back up just slightly from it and then down b it gets the spike almost every time and can take most by suprise

Whirling Fortress can go higher and a much farther distance if you mash up special while midair. Also, refrain from using Bowser Bomb because it is very slow and can set the other player up for combos

Stop reading this and keep eatin those crayons

Down B can break shields, but it isn't worth it. It is very slow in both startup and endlag, and it doesn't even consistently break shields! The grounded version is far superior with its starting hit.

Down air is a great alternative to down B and it can be hit more easily

I just want to stop getting hit by Bowsers giant **** all the time in this game. ******* LEAVE ME ALONE SPAR.

Use Bowser's great ground speed and good Out-of-Shield options in Nair and Up-B to condition your opponent to react preemptively and then go in for a hard punish.

When recovering, mash b during the second half of his up-b. It might be the difference between life and death. Don't mash b during the entire up-b, you'll actually go lower than without mashing.

After you land an up b oos at around mid or high percent chase your opponent down and then shield again, your opponent may choose an aggressive option allowing you to up b again. Leon does this a lot.

Starting at around 10% (for this setup) you can up throw -> full hop fair -> land quickly -> get under your opponent -> up smash. This is very good against players who are aggressive in disadvantage.

Touched your shield? I like to SPIIIIIIIN.

When characters are trying to recover, try using downward angled fire breath or downward angled forward tilt, it's really good especially vs gnw

hehe up throw go tch tch tch tch tch

The best way to recover as Bowser is to press up B once, and then spam the B button when Bowser stops gaining height. This gives you the fastest and furthest recovery possible.

Bowser is a good counter for Charizard!I know for a fact that high damaged and/or low stocked Pokemon Trainer players switch to Charizard for Flare Blitz.Right before Charizard hits you,use a side b.

Practice Down B as edge guarding where you land right on the ledge. This way, you use the strong attack w/o suffering the end lag. But if you do it too forward, you'll fall to death; so practice it.

You want to make sure you're playing with this sort of aggressive mindset because the more quick damage you get, the easier it is to a cheap kill with F Smash, Side B, F Air, etc

dont think, just spam your broken ftilt and fair until it works

Jab 2 can lead to a grab at 0% on most characters

Bowser is pretty easy to beat with min min.i wonder who actually went for the good match up

Side tilt angled downwards can two frame. Another move that can two frame even deeper while being able to cover high recoveries is down b which can be helpful in certain mus but is harder to time.

Side special's damage output is determined by how far you fall from the ground. The longer the fall the more damage your opponent will take and the shorter the fall the less damage they will take.

Bowser has very few non-committal options, so dash dancing and waiting for a mistake or just approaching at a random time has a pretty high chance of working. Just watch out for a possible approach

bowser rarely dies below 120%. but his moves have to much end-lag so play patient and only attack when you know it will hit. bowser kills easily at 80% but bowser only dies at 200% they should scared

People say Kirby is an easy matchup for bowser, but not necessarily, just a simple grab at the ledge puts bowser in a tough position for kirby’s multiple fairs

Up b out of shield is good for out of shield move

spam the B button grab and easily win

down B spikes at the start, or always idk

Down b can be used as a landing mix up, as it could kill or breal shields. But refrain from doing it to much because its long end lag will leave you wide open to a hard punish from your opponent.

if u resort to just using side B alot try mixing it up wit a down B(expectally i u play with friends alot) and also dont underestimate the up tilt then Fair land below and up smash

Bowser's forward smash is very slow, but it deals massive damage and kills at around 30%. Only use it when trying to make your opponent feel completely hopeless.

Go high and use the down b to ground opponents

Lol bowser is not weak to young link.

1pratice your di and recovery a lot cause he is easy to juggle and combo 2Practice your quick kill senario (when jab lock at 30% ). 3learn how to read

Get out your scaly **** with your down b and use your neutral b to *** all over the opponents face. (this could include your own son so be careful)

i hate people of color

He is a very good character (this text is to fill space)

SPAM F SMASH, IT KILLS AT 40-60%. ALSO, USE FLAMETHROWER TO EDGE GUARD..

Based on bowser(main) this site is garbage to find counters, DO NOT USE IT. Snake is a HARD counter to bowser but has no votes, jigglypuff and incineroar has a lot of votes but are countered by bowser

Never go for regular grabs with Bowser unless your fighting another heavy he has no true combos. If your playing against someone good they'll mash out and if you can grab, you can also side b.
