'''Bowser''' ({{ja|クッパ}}, ''Kuppa'' | '''Bowser''' (Japanese: {{ja|クッパ}}, ''Kuppa'', '''Koopa'''), is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and is available from the [[Starter character|start]]. Announced at [[E3]] 2001, a [[Giga Bowser|stronger form of Bowser]] also appears as the "final" boss in [[Adventure Mode]]. | ||
Bowser is currently ranked 24th in the G tier in the current ''Melee'' tier list. Among Bowser's positive traits is his difficulty in getting KO'd due to his high weight and rather fast falling speed; additionally, he has among the most powerful attacks in the game (most notably his forward smash), as well as some very good aerial attacks, most notably his forward and upward aerials. However, he suffers due to his large size and weight and also his large periods of hitstun, making him extremely easy to combo. His moves are also very sluggish, and his approach is among the worst in the game, with laggy aerials, poor jumping ability (leading to an awful SHFFL), a short wavedash, poor projectile, and slow, predictable [[recovery]]. Bowser is among few characters to lack any positive matchups, and only two, against Yoshi and Pichu, are considered even. | Bowser is currently ranked 24th in the G tier in the current ''Melee'' tier list.
