Despite their hitboxes, because many of them take a second to come out, they are very easy for characters like {{SSBU|Pichu}} or {{SSBU|Sheik}} to avoid. Where the matchup shifts, however, is in Giga Bowser's durability: He has an eye-watering 95 units of [[knockback]]-based [[armor]] that make him almost impossible to launch, with his [[weight]] and other statistics further holding him down. In general, the only way to launch Giga Bowser prior to around 250% is with [[counterattack]]s and extremely strong moves like [[Aymr]]. This results in very linear matchups where the player avoids much of Giga Bowser's sluggish attacks and slowly chips away at him until he can finally be [[KO]]ed; alternatively, attempts can be made to [[circle camp]] him. | ||
In the event of winning in [[VS Mode]], Giga Bowser will be seen with a [[t-pose]]. When losing, only his tail can be seen. While it is possible to use Giga Bowser in [[online play]], it frequently results in bans, regardless of whether it's in [[Battle Arena]]s or on [[Quickplay]]. | In the event of winning in [[VS Mode]], Giga Bowser will be seen with a [[t-pose]].

He has seen sporadic experimentation, mainly in early periods of the game where he was playable [[online]] in [[Battle Arena]]s, chiefly by a player named {{Sm|RareKirby}}. However, this wasn't done seriously and did not come with any talks of an unban. Thus, despite being possible to use online and not difficult to mod into the [[Character select screen]], Giga Bowser has remained banned in all documented online tournaments, in part due to the potential for console bans if used online. Consequently, Giga Bowser gameplay has largely been relegated to experimental [[YouTube]] and [[Twitch]] content. Outside of online play, due to Giga Bowser's extremely polarising set of traits, requiring a rather elaborate, uninspiring, linear game plan to defeat him, in addition to the logistics of running a tournament with Giga Bowser modded into every [[Nintendo Switch]] console, there has been little discussion on unbanning him. With the [[Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines]] disallowing modded setups for ''Ultimate'', this status quo is unlikely to change. | ||
