This move is rarely seen at all in ''competitive'' play, partially because Bowser himself is such a terrible, and therefore rare, character, partially because Bowser has a far superior [[out of shield]] option in the form of his {{mvsub|Bowser|SSBM|up special}}, and partially because the move itself is bad; while it gives 21 intangibility [[frame]]s, the 2nd-most amount only behind {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}, this is the move's only positive and not enough to outweigh its negatives. The main issue is just how '''slow''' it is: it has the most [[start-up]] of any spot dodge in the game at 3 frames, the 2nd-most [[end lag]] (only behind {{mvsub|Mr. Game & Watch|SSBM|spot dodge|poss=y}}), and the longest move length at slightly over ⅔ of a second. | ||
The move's duration is so long that it loses to the median [[dash grab]] length of 39 frames, meaning it's possible for {{SSBM|Fox}} to attempt to dash grab Bowser, miss because of the spot dodge, and punish Bowser with [[Fox (SSBM)/Down special|Shine]] on reaction when the Fox player realizes the grab missed. However, it can be noted that this is only if both the grab and spot dodge are activated on the same frame; Bowser can tip the scales back in his favor by activating spot dodge earlier, thus minimizing the amount of frame advantage his opponent can get. It's also worth noting that this doesn't apply to [[tether grab]]s, which typically have | The move's duration is so long that it loses to the median [[dash grab]] length of 39 frames, meaning it's possible for {{SSBM|Fox}} to attempt to dash grab Bowser, miss because of the spot dodge, and punish Bowser with [[Fox (SSBM)/Down special|Shine]] on reaction when the Fox player realizes the grab missed.
