This is reflected by some of his attributes, which fit in the mold of his archetype: he has a slow [[walk]]ing speed (16th slowest in the game), very quick [[falling speed|falling]] and [[fast-fall]]ing speeds (tied with {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} for the 19th fastest), slow [[air acceleration]], high [[gravity]], and immensely powerful attacks. However, Bowser sports otherwise excellent mobility, as his [[air speed]] is well above average (tied with {{SSBU|Sheik}}, {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}}, {{SSBU|Lucas}}, {{SSBU|Cloud}}, and {{SSBU|Mega Man}} as the 20th fastest in the game), his initial dash is extremely quick, and he also boasts a surprisingly fast [[dash]]ing speed (the 22nd fastest in the game) that surpasses most of his fellow heavyweights, even outrunning characters such as {{SSBU|Marth}}, {{SSBU|Inkling}}, {{SSBU|Toon Link}} and {{SSBU|Pichu}}. Due to his above average dashing speed and initial dash, Bowser sports a respectable [[dash-dance]]. | ||
Unsurprisingly, Bowser's most notable trait is his impressive endurance, being among the best in the game. His extreme weight makes him very difficult to launch and KO, while his fast falling speed and high gravity let him stay glued to the ground. Bolstering his endurance is his varied forms of [[armor]]; Bowser has damage-based percentage armor on the startup of all his tilts and smash attacks. Bowser also has an attribute called "[[Tough Guy]]," which is constantly active knockback-based armor that allows Bowser to withstand a handful of weak attacks, like rapid jabs and weak projectiles. This lets him tank and approach effectively while at low percents, and allows him to simply break through any rapid jab with a powerful attack, acting as a hard punish. Supplementing Bowser's endurance is the immense damage and power his moveset provides, as all of his moves deal high damage, and most of them have KO potential. [[Rage]] further helps Bowser, as he can easily take advantage of being at KO percentage to easily turn the tables on the opponent should they make one single error. | Unsurprisingly, Bowser's most notable trait is his impressive endurance, being among the best in the game.
