Overview

Bowser slams both his legs behind him. The move is one of the strongest aerials in the game, being able to KO at medium to high percents and has a quick startup. However, the move has a lot of end lag if used incorrectly, but can be auto canceled from a short hop. It can be confirmed from Bowser's up throw, but only at specific percents, and can be comboed into from Bowser's forward aerial, albeit the combo is difficult to pull due to the specific hitbox of forward aerial needed. It is also a very good option from a ledge trump, as the trump places the opponent in a perfect position for Bowser's back aerial.
