Super Smash Bros Brawl Character Dissection: Bowser

Without a doubt the strongest and heaviest character in Brawl, Bowser brings a destructive force to the game, matched by few and feared by all.
Bowser's movements are very slow, as expected to balance things out, but his physical strength makes up for the lack of speed. Just about every hit from Bowser deals large damage and this is especially useful in team battles when teamed up with someone using a fast character. Use the speed to rack up the damage slowly and finish them with Bowser's power. 
When fighting with the King of Koopa's, try to stay close to your opponents and keep constant pressure on them as most will not be able to stand up to his brute force. Bowser is useful when playing on small stages with little movement room like the Final Destination or Luigi's Mansion. Just remember that Bower isn't the best ariel combatant and it's better to use him against characters that usually remain grounded. Also, his Smash attacks are some of the strongest in the game, if not the strongest. You just might have trouble landing them.

When using Bower's special moves, you should remember to save his "B" attack for speedy characters. When you press and hold down the button, Bowser will breath a stream of fire that will progressively become weaker and smaller the longer you hold down the button. This won't deal much damage, but it will stop foes who enjoy playing your slowness to their advantage by using the "Hit and Run" tactic. Anyone caught in the fire will be trapped until the button is released or the stream is too weak, make good use of the time they are immobile to land some moves.

His side "B" sees the King of Koopa's grabbing his opponent (which isn't always easy because it is hard to catch up to them) flipping in the air with them and landing on the top of his foes with all his weight. It bloody hurts! Bowser himself has some control on where the move lands, making it possible to turn it into a suicide maneuver, by making the two of you fall down the stage. The more damage your opponent has, the less resistance they can offer. As you may have guessed, the person being attacked can alter the landing destination by moving the control stick. If Bowser has a lot more damage than his enemy, then the attack can be reversed with the very person Bowser was trying to squash ending up on top. 






Up "B" is the recovery maneuver where Bowser spins himself around his shell. It can be used in the air as well as across the ground. It's not too shabby actually, despite Bowser's weight, he travels pretty far horizontally. Unfortunately, it is not great for vertical recovery. LOLZ BOWSERS IS HELPLESS IN AIRES AFTUR USING ITS

The Bower Bomb (his down "B") his one of his best attacks because it is the fastest and most unpredictable in his move set. It's pretty simple. Leap up. Slam down with ass causing massive destruction. It may be trickier to pull this off in one-on-one matches, but if you find three people bunching up in a fight, then go for it! 

His epic Final Smash transforms him into the mighty Giga Bowser. In his Giga form, he not only has reach over almost the entire stage, but he has added strength to pretty much all of his attacks making him extremely dangerous. Giga Bowser does not flinch or take knockback, but he can still take damage, so keep that in mind next time you think that Smart bomb would be useless. Bowser will eventually return to normal.
