As team attack/friendly fire is also turned off, the Bowsers can take on an extremely aggressive fighting style that will overwhelm the challenger, further hindering their ability to safely [[approach]]. As another complication, Bowser himself is difficult to KO; while Bowser ordinarily has a lackluster recovery that is very easy to [[edgeguard]] and [[gimp]], the presence of two other Bowsers makes edgeguarding almost impossible, and Bowser's high [[weight]] makes him resistant to the upper [[blast line]] (where edgeguarding would be irrelevant). | ||
Provided that the Bowser players are semi-competent, the Bowser Challenge is seen as being effectively impossible to win for the challenger, and its level of difficulty can be seen even amongst top-professional smashers. In one tournament, {{Sm|Ken Hoang}} in his prime was unable to get a single KO in the challenge, and in the same tournament, {{Sm|Captain Jack}}, who came the closest to completing the challenge, only managed to get 4 KOs, as {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}. | Provided that the Bowser players are semi-competent, the Bowser Challenge is seen as being effectively impossible to win for the challenger, and its level of difficulty can be seen even amongst top-professional smashers.
