Bowser is one of the heaviest and strongest characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Probably, there would be no better guy than this super boss from the Mario franchise If everything in this fighting game was based on power. But of course, Mr. Sakurai and his team include lots of various aspects that affect the fight results. Some characters are quite good against Bowser. Some are rather bad. In this post on DashFight, we divide them all into categories.
Check out this Bowser matchup chart to know in what matches you should play more carefully and in what you can even risk a bit. Don’t forget that the pros and cons of any SSBU fighter are nothing without your skills! Quite often, it’s better to think more about training than about counters. For beginners in this awesome game, we recommend taking a look at the guide How to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Do you like him?
It might be difficult for newcomers to the fighting game genre to choose their favorite character, be it SSBU, Street Fighter 5, or Tekken 7. Still, the process is much easier than it seems to be. You don’t have to analyze moves, combos, and various characteristics - this would only overcomplicate everything for you. It’s much better to get acquainted with all the fighters; select a group you like better; then take your time to play with each, discover their stories, and get the general feeling of controlling them; and finally choose someone you like the most.
Still, even these steps can be redundant (especially with the Super Smash Bros. series). Often, players know perfectly well who is the best for them. If you like Kirby, just play this pink creature! If you like Bowser, you definitely will have lots of fun with this character. Then, what is this Bowser matchup chart Ultimate for?
It’s a great help for those who have doubts about their decision (“Is this fighter good enough against the others?”) And also, such charts (for example our matchup chart for Bayonetta) help to learn the character of your choice better. The deeper you go into the game, the more its layers become obvious to you. And DashFight is here to help you on this journey. What about delving into the info on SSBU Frame Data?
