Bowser (SSBU)/Up tilt

Hitbox visualization showing Bowser's up tilt.

Overview

A 180-degree overhead arcing claw swipe. It comes with a wide range and average ending lag, allowing it to combo into itself at low percents. At slightly higher percents, it can combo into neutral air, back air, and Flying Slam if it hits near the end of the move's duration. The attack will almost always send the opponent directly above Bowser, making for strong juggle situations. It also boasts a respectable amount of kill power, being one of the strongest up tilts in the game and KOing at around 120%. Thanks to its incredible range, up tilt is an excellent anti-air tool which, combined with the aforementioned KO potential, makes it difficult for airborne fighters to play around. Has 4% damage based armor (frames 8-10) and makes Bowser's arm intangible (frames 11-16). However, it has noticeable startup lag, coming out on frame 11.
