Talk:Bowser (SSB4)

Shellguard?

Given this image along with its Miiverse caption of "Sonic, failure.", it's at least heavily implied that Bowser has some form of shell-based defense of currently unknown mechamism. Would saying something like that be too speculatory to put in the article? Toomai Glittershine The Multifaceted 12:07, 27 November 2013 (EST)

There also seems to be a visual effect above Bowser. Seems like his shell defend ability from M&L BiS. I'd say don't add it in just yet though. Scr7(talk · contribs) 12:09, 27 November 2013 (EST)

I'm with Scr7 on this one. Possible that's what Sakurai was going for, but it could just be a caption for humor's sake. We should hold off for now. Miles (talk) 12:43, 27 November 2013 (EST)

In the Little Mac reveal trailer, Bowser is seen being shot by Mega Man from behind without flinching. Mega Mans mega buster shots are shown to cause flinching in earlier videos, so it seems a bit strange. It it worth mentioning in the article? Even if the shell doesnt provide knockback resistance from projectiles, it at least means Bowser has some level of base knockback resistance, something no characters have had before.

I saw this too, but it's equally possible that the Mega Buster might have been changed to not flinch anything or that the startup of Bowser's f-tilt gives him resistance. We need something more definitive. Toomai Glittershine The Polychromatic 15:39, 15 February 2014 (EST)

More Claw Swipes --> Punches

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OST5jvRKUe4#t=100 At around 1:38, you can see that Bowser's Jab has been changed from two Claw Swipes to two Punches, much like the page mentions his Down A neutrals have. Minor aesthetic change, I know, but worth mentioning anyway. burb

Changed the most?

Is it really accurate to say that now? Pit has had 3 of 4 special moves changed, Shiek, Zero Suit Samus & Charizard are now their own characters. Should the difference in his animations be emphasized instead? 109.149.14.224 13:22, 5 May 2014 (EDT)

"Changed the most" includes everything, and with Bowser, he has been shown not only to have entirely new animations, but also a plethora of new moves (more than anyone else so far, including Pit), along with many apparent altered moves and new mechanics (like the armor). That's more changes than anyone else has been shown so far. Omega Tyrant 20:27, 5 May 2014 (EDT)

Fireball

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odUjMhc6YgU At 2:20, we can see Bowser spitting fireballs. This may be part of the customization of his Fire Breath move.

It definitely is seeing as it's not his normal move and it makes sense since Bowser's classic move was shooting fireballs. Leeyawshee (talk) 01:41, 21 June 2014 (EDT)

That move is a faster version of Mario's Fire Orb move. The Smash Brotha (talk) 10:01, 31 July 2014 (EDT)

All alts confirmed by Famitsu.

Bowser's alts are green, black, yellow, dark green, white, purple, red and blue. Blue is likely based on the first drawings by him where he appeared as a blue tyrant rather than the green and orange we know him today.

Also, all of Bowser's taunts have been revealed; they are the same as Brawl.

Could this page be updated with those?

Bowser's voice has been changed.

Bowser's voice has changed, and his reused clips have been digitally enhanced.

At 4:40, his roar has definitely changed.

Bowser's Down Air

I'd like to note that Bowser's Down Air CAN Meteor Smash, though it is very risky to do and can easily lead to a suicidal attack, so it's best used at the edge, and since the player can control its trajectory while descending, he/she can prevent falling from the platform. On side note, I can't edit his page yet, because it's protected, but my account is older than four days, so I should technically be able to semi-edit... Why I can't? —Preceding unsigned comment added by El Rocky Raccoon (talk • contribs) 11:59, 11 October 2014 (EDT)

One, can you prove (via video) that Bowser's d-air can meteor smash? Two, sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). Third, in order to edit semi-protected pages, you need to be autoconfirmed; while you've been here for more than 7 days, you need to make at least 10 edits, which you haven't done.

"Koopa Klaw"

The custom special isn't called Koopa Klaw, it's called Dash Slash. 65.96.242.22 18:42, 11 October 2014 (EDT)

Can confirm this, I didn't realize this hadn't been changed yet. Laikue (talk|contribs) 20:35, 11 October 2014 (EDT)
