However, the overall perception of Bowser's viability has continuously improved as the metagame progressed. As players such as {{Sm|LeoN}}, {{Sm|Hero|p=Japan}}, {{Sm|DarkThunder}}, and {{Sm|Lunamado}} achieved strong results in tournaments, Bowser's improvements were seen as much more significant than originally thought. People noticed that most of Bowser's best strengths from ''Smash 4'' were not only maintained, but improved. The sudden decline of other heavyweights has also greatly benefited Bowser in the long run, due to the fact that he lacks most weaknesses that plague the viability and representation of the other traditional heavyweights. However, non-traditional heavyweights such as {{SSBU|Snake}} and {{SSBU|Ike}} generally lack the more notable weaknesses that Bowser faces. | However, the overall perception of Bowser's viability has continuously improved as the metagame progressed.

While improved relative to other traditional heavyweights, Bowser has largely not benefited from the power creep that much of the cast has enjoyed in part due to the lack of substantial updates following the early game; this has been reflected in an increasingly smaller competitive base, especially outside of the online meta. | While improved relative to other traditional heavyweights, Bowser has largely not benefited from the power creep that much of the cast has enjoyed in part due to the lack of substantial updates following the early game; this has been reflected in an increasingly smaller competitive base, especially outside of the online meta. Recently, Bowser has experienced a significant downfall in results due to the buffs of some of the characters that he struggles against like {{SSBU|Diddy Kong}} and {{SSBU|Sonic}} and the introduction to the dlc that also give Bowser a very hard time like {{SSBU|Steve}} and {{SSBU|Kazuya}}. | ||
