Project+/Bowser/Introduction

From SuperCombo Wiki

Introduction

The King of the Koopa’s himself, Bowser is the main antagonist of the Mario universe who constantly antagonizes Mario and his friends. While he isn’t an entirely malicious bad guy, even helping the main cast from time to time, never forget that this towering turtle possesses monstrous force and will use it for his own benefit.

Bowser is defined as the stock-standard heavyweight character of Super Smash Bros, and while Project+ changes it up a bit, he still very much fits into this archetype. Bowser is shockingly strong, with even his weaker hits being able to launch his opponents far at high percentages, and even has armor on his stronger moves allowing him to win in trades. However this comes at a cost, as the biggest and most heavy character in the game Bowser becomes easy combo food and his slow nature can make it very difficult for him to get in on more defensive opponents.

If you’re a fan of the slower, less technical characters but one that capitalizes hard on hit confirms and can power his way through most of the cast, Bowser may be the character for you.


Strengths Weaknesses
  • Heavyweight: Bowser is the heaviest character in the game, which gives him an edge as being harder to kill than other characters.
  • Armoured: Many of Bowser’s powerful moves have armour, allowing Bowser to trade hits with his opponents for the killing blow.
  • Super Strength: Bowser has many powerful moves which can launch his opponents far.
  • Big Bodied: Bowser’s large size and weight make him very susceptible to attacks and combos.
  • Predictable: While not as linear as in other titles, Bowser is still a fairly predictable character with limited options that can easily be covered by the opponent.
