It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Passive armor. The reason given for the merge is: Redirect this now that the passive armor page exists. (Discuss) |
Bowser, Giga Bowser, and Kazuya have universal passive knockback-based armor, known as Tough Guy for Bowser and Tough Body for Kazuya. This mechanic was first introduced in Super Smash Bros. 4, and carried over to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Bowser has 19 units, Giga Bowser has 95 units, and Kazuya has 14 units.
Mechanic
Tough Guy is a form of knockback-based armor that triggers against attacks that deal 19 units of knockback or less for Bowser. This is present in all of Bowser's animations, even when buried or frozen, which can lead to odd interactions with "delayed" armor reactions. Its presence notably includes crouching which — thanks to the 0.85× knockback reduction it provides — improves the armor's ranges significantly. Tough Guy is also present during attacks that utilize Bowser's armored smash and tilt attacks in Ultimate, giving him effectively two layers of armor for attacks to break through. For an attack to break through Tough Guy, the threshold must be breached, in which the character takes full knockback.
Because the armor is knockback-based, Tough Guy's effectiveness deteriorates as percentage builds. As the character using it takes more damage, they take more knockback, which gives Tough Guy a hard limit in every matchup. Additionally, effects that increase knockback, such as rage, will also affect Tough Guy. For a character-specific example, Hero's Psyche Up applies a 1.2× knockback multiplier directly onto his moves which, as a result, significantly decreases Tough Guy's effectiveness—if not neuter it outright—until it goes away.
Due to Tough Guy's very low knockback threshold, its usefulness is highly specific to the point of being essentially nonexistent in some matchups. While characters like Luigi and Mega Man are greatly impacted due to their reliance on weak, spammable projectiles in neutral, others such as Donkey Kong and Ganondorf are completely unaffected. This applies even moreso to Kazuya, having drastically lower damage ranges; for example, while Bowser can armor Pyra's Rapid Jab well until 174%, Kazuya can only armor it until around 12%. Like all armor, Tough Guy does not protect characters from grabs either, so characters that are noticeably affected by the ability can normally make up for it through a grab-heavy playstyle.
In Ultimate
Tough Guy was indirectly buffed in Ultimate thanks to the universal knockback reduction in all rapid jabs. The addition of damage-based armor into his moveset also assisted with this, adding a degree of safety at tighter percent ranges. Because Bowser himself gained more weight, it's common to see him armor rapid jabs to extremely high thresholds and punish them outright.
When Giga Bowser was made a boss in Ultimate, he was given 95 units of knockback-based armor that otherwise acts in exactly the same manner to Bowser's. However, because Giga Bowser cannot be grabbed in any way and has gigantic weight, it is near-impossible to make him launch or even flinch in regular gameplay. Thus, seeing Giga Bowser's Tough Guy equivalent break is extremely rare, but not impossible with charged smash attacks, strong items, or Final Smashes. This is somewhat similar to his appearance in Melee, where he is given 20 units of subtractive knockback-based armor, acting similar to Yoshi's double jump. This is unlike Tough Guy, which rather than subtract the knockback, requires an attack to breach the threshold to launch the character.
Kazuya's addition to Ultimate came with a weaker variant of Tough Guy dubbed "Tough Body", which guards against 14 units of knockback, but is otherwise the same. Combined with Kazuya's lower weight, Tough Body is far more situational than Tough Guy, being largely useless in many matchups. On the other hand, because of his crouch-based attacks like Demon God Fist, he can make better use of it in some situations, as crouch canceling applies.
List of attacks affected by Tough Guy/Tough Body

This article or section is incomplete. You can help SmashWiki by expanding or finishing it. The editor who added this tag elaborates: Item damage data from Super Smash Bros. 4, including percents when crouching. Also Kazuya data. |
- Bold percentages represent the damage limit if Bowser were crouching.
- Moves with damages labeled "Limitless" means that Tough Guy will always trigger against the move.
- Moves that are available as custom moves are in italics.

Trivia
- In Melee, Nana has 5 units of subtractive knockback-based armor at all times; while permanent like Tough Guy, it actually works more similarly to Yoshi's double jump armor[1].
- The attacks of Little Mac that can be toughed out also apply if he is in his transformation.
- This makes Bowser the only character who has armor that works against a Final Smash.
