Discuss Bomberman specific game-play here.

Bomberman's onstage bomb count has been reduced to three.
Three
THREE?!

How do Bombs Explode on SSF1 VS?

Can I have some of that weed too?

Please excuse me sir, I only tried this on Final Destination.
Perhaps I was a bit too rash to perform this on other stages.
I guess there's a bomb count for specific stages.

EDIT: It seems that you can only lay 3 P-Bombs maximum, but every other bomb that can be laid down has to be below P-Bomb. I tried this on Final Destination.

Can someone please explain how to play Bomberman, cause in my hands he sucks and his side B doesn't seem to do anything.

The pic above has 5 P-Bombs in place though While a stage specific limit may be a thing, I highly doubt that. Would be kinda unneccessary imo





Charge Bombs to bait approaches, then smack them with your allmighty 4HEAD (aka Fair). Side B moves bombs across the stage for better stage control.

time to turtle even more now

This is exactly why bomerman is the least popular character.


there is no activity here

Bomberman isnt "unpopular" because there is no activity here, there is no activity on here because BBM isnt the most popular character


Havent really played with Bomber all that much, but what exactly happened that the general consensus of him seems to have dropped so much? Bomb hitbox nerfs were more than overdue, throws arent silly anymore, and the biggest nerf of them all (Fair SFX change) doesnt even affect gameplay. So, could someone help me out here?

IDK what you're on aboot

Well, I don't think there's really many Bomberman mains out there. I've never seen one Online, either. I've tried him before. I'm alright against CPUs, but actual players will rush me down and not give me a chance to throw even a small bomb.

His Up Smash seems pretty based, though.

Once he attained stage control, he was a menace, but many characters in v0.9b did not let him do that.

Now that d-tilt/up tilt pop people into combo range at wide percents and nair/bair are combo extensions and low-mid percents, there is a TON that can be done with him. The best new change about him is hitboxes on bombs. It gives him scary edge guarding game and combo setups even with no bombs out. Dropping a P-bomb on someone hit confirms into detonation, which is cool.

I feel his weight lightened a little so he isn't as easy to combo and gimp. He deserves some serious exploration and will probably land high-mid tier with his new tools/tricks.

Seems that way. Guess I'm just not a patient guy.

But through some random matches with him I learned that hitting with his recovery move at high areas can kill some characters pretty early granted they're in the sweetspot, AKA midflight (that's the sweetspot right?).

im guessing playstyle would be retreating fair's and spacing other moves mostly just to throw a bomb on stage .
