{{SSBM|Bowser}} performs an upward swipe. It's extremely strong and [[disjoint]]ed, with high [[knockback]] growth and damage leading to [[KO]]s at unexpectedly low percentages. It is also as fast as his [[Bowser (SSBM)/Neutral attack|neutral attack]], with high active frames and no late hit transition. As such, the move has great consistency, and is decent out of a [[crouch cancel]]. It is also a fairly decent [[out of shield]] option should [[Bowser (SSBM)/Up special|Whirling Fortress]] be staled, or if up tilt would take the stock. It can potentially be confirmed into from [[Koopa Klaw]] or [[Bowser (SSBM)/Dash attack|dash attack]] on some characters, though it's inconsistent. Up tilt can confirm itself at lower percentages (usually after 35%), though [[Bowser (SSBM)/Up smash|up smash]] and [[Bowser (SSBM)/Up aerial|up aerial]] are also very possible. Whirling Fortress is a true combo, but should only be done in scenarios where it can be cancelled. It can also confirm a [[Bowser (SSBM)/Grab|grab]] up close.

However, up tilt has a very high [[FAF]], meaning that Bowser cannot afford to whiff the move. If he does, it's among his most punishable normals. Its hitbox is also a bit small, making it whiff on smaller characters. This also makes it relatively easy to low profile for characters such as {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}.
