Bowser's speed is ludicrous. He's supposed to be the slowest character in the roster, like Captain Falcon/Sonic are supposed to be the fastest.

Not calling him OP, I'm just saying it doesn't fit the character.

It is really weird, but somehow he doesn't seem quite fast enough to seem wrong... although of course if I end up thinking about this too much, I'll just get frustrated because of all the characters who are slow and not as strong as Bowser to compensate, hah~

90% of the times that I've lost against a Bowser, it's because I wanted to utterly humiliate them rather than just come out on top and wound up leaving myself open because of it.

I can't help it, people who think the Newbie Four make them invincible make me furious. And when I lose because of it, that's when the freakouts start.

Bowser is always slow as American treacle when the player controls him, but faster than greased lightning when he's the final boss. Well, except the Mario Kart series, and even there he has difficulty building up speed.

[up][up][up]Lest we forget, though, Bowser's also a giant and therefore easier to hit than most of the other characters.

Bowser needed the buff. The biggest Nintendo villain should be dangerous to fight, not a joke. When we saw Bowser dominating at SDCC, my reaction was to buff him more, because he needs all the help he can get. And he turned out pretty good. He's rapidly turning into my third most used character, and I really like how he feels.

I still haven't forgiven myself for losing against a Bowser named "blazer420"...

You hate the idea of losing to a stoner?

Newbie Four? Other than Mac, Samus Zero, and Bowser, I can't think of any other characters like that. Lucina? Shulk?

@Sterok: Though I have to say I'd rather Ganondorf get a buff like that? Bowser is Bowser, sure, but Bowser is also kind of a half-joke in his own franchise. Ganondorf isn't quite as famous throughout all of videogames, but he is the "King of Evil" or somesuch and holds the Triforce of Power, so that's one character who definitely has every right to be strong...

Damn it game, give me new Hats! I still manage to get the occasional new move, but the hats elude me! I play about 3 or 4 Classic runs and 1-2 Trophy Rushes whenever I play, and I've gotten nothing!

Dorf needs to actually be the King of Evil before he's getting a proper buff. And seeing how the likes of Pit and Bowser can drastically change while he can't, it looks like he's going to be waiting for quite awhile.

Pretty sure Sakurai's Dad would still like some meaningful buffs tossed his way, though.

Was that thing about his father actually true? I had kind of a hard time buying it.

Twas a rumor.

Either way, quite happy with how he is. I grew up with him as a severely badass powerhouse that wasn't about weapons, but magic and strength. He fits surprisingly well. I'd like a few move changes, though. Namely removing Wizard's Foot for something more like his regular attacks. Otherwise, perfect to me~

The only attack of Ganondorf that would count as a "regular attack" that I can think of is the tennis attack.
