Bowser (SSBU): Difference between revisions

Bowser has been buffed overall in his transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate''. Among Bowser's largest buffs are to those to his character attributes, his KO potential, and to his [[Flying Slam]]. Both Bowser's grounded and aerial mobility have improved (despite this being synonymous with the cast), sporting a faster [[jumpsquat]] as well as faster [[dash]], [[air speed|air]] and [[falling speed]]s, improving his ground-to-air transitioning, which makes him now more adept at [[punish]]ing, while allowing him to land and escape juggles with much less problem than before. He also received an increase on his defensive game through a higher amplification of heavy [[armor]] on his [[tilt attack|tilt]] and [[smash attack]]s, which tones down one of the issues his [[Tough Guy]] armor had in ''Smash 4'', and his higher [[weight]], which not only keeps his status as the heaviest character in the game, but also generally improves his [[Tough Guy]] armor in general. Despite his already high power and damage racking abilities, both have been improved even more in the transition (most notably on moves such as his tilt attacks, [[down throw]], [[Fire Breath]] and [[Whirling Fortress]]), which supplements his higher weight and improved adeptness at punishing. Finally, Flying Slam has significantly faster startup overall, now being on par with other characters' grabs such as {{SSBU|Mario}}, which heavily improves his options against shielding opponents.
