This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Overview

Bowser swings his arm in an overhead arc, the trail from his claws forming the visible arc. The move has two hitboxes, being the claw tipper and the arm hitbox. The tipper can KO at medium-high percents and is a good anti-air due to its large coverage. The arm hitbox sends upwards and isn't safe on shield. Bowser's up tilt can combo from his up throw, adding on percent to lead for Bowser's other grab followups. It can also be utilized to cover the ledge, as it can soft punish roll and poke the opponent's shield if spaced correctly.
