Didnt Bowser already have good knockback in his attacks? I thought one of his main offensive problems was racking up damage.

It was also his poor approach. In Melee and Brawl he was among the slowest characters; add to that the lack of a reliable projectile (and a poor wavedash in Melee), he had lots of trouble approaching in Melee and Brawl. Its not just his offense that was an issue, it was also his defense. He had a huge hitbox in both games, which made comboing him much easier than other characters, and in Brawl he was susceptible to chain grabs, some of which were zero-to-death. Add a poor recovery, and it makes his high weight almost negligible.

I feel that adding knockback alone won't fix his other flaws. Based on the trailer he seemed faster, but we'll have to wait to see how he turns out.

Yeah, I'm aware he had defensive problems as well, I was just wondering though, racking up damage was one of his offensive flaws right? Not the knockback of his attacks? If they speed up Bowser, I doubt he would be sped up by a large margin. I do hope they make his recovery a little better though.

Racking up damage isn't too much of a flaw for Boswer because he can kill you in a couple of hits, but the only only issue with that is he needs reads to get hits because of his design flaws. I'm going off of Melee for this, as I'm not a Brawl player. For Brawl, racking up damage could be an issue, but I doubt it.

Regardless, Bowser does have quite a few kill moves, and only a few of them are hard to hit with. Oh well, maybe he will be more interesting this time around.

I'm not sure why people are freaking out so much about hearing Bowser having speed and power. They act like Falcon and Fox don't exist.

Bowser is more powerul then both of them combined.

Ok, Ok. No need to be rude.

He's not being rude though, you're just being retarded stating an opinion as a fact.

Every post you have made in the last few weeks or so has been rude

"Get your head out of your a**" is about the best way to put it

I have to agree with TerminX and Yoh man. Stop being a douche;it's not cool.

Please stop bashing Axel on this topic.

Anyway, niayre, how do you know he's more powerful than both Falcon and Fox combined? >.>

I think he means in raw damage output.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification.

Yeah man do you know how much he does after a few attacks?
