Thy Knight
Smash Apprentice
"Bombs, boomerangs, ropes, lantern oil; you want them? They're yours my friend! As long as you have enough rupees."
I swear that quote rings in my head every time I face my brother in PM. My general character roster consists of: Bowser, Roy, Ganondorf and a little bit of Donkey Kong.
Now I'm making this thread because I really need some suggestions or tips against combating projectile-spam while playing as the one and only Bowser. I did notice there were threads discussing Bowser's strengths and weaknesses, but from what I saw, none of them hinted toward a strategy of facing someone who just loves to show you their vast arsenal of moves a hundred times over.
I feel at least some background information is necessary to describe my situation, so here goes:
In each installment of Smash Bros. that I play, the person that ends up being my "sparring buddy" is my little brother. (Not much younger than me mind you. He turned 5 years of age, okay!) Now my brother is the kind of player that wins by, and No John's here, gimmicks; not actual skill. In each Smash game, he would only use the C-Stick as his primary means of engagement, and if I so happened to be in the air while facing him then MAYBE, on the lunar eclipse when all the planets align perfectly with one another, he MIGHT use an aerial attack on me. Potentially. He's also quite fond of the B button as well. If I'm not in range of his smashes, then he would bait me with each and every projectile he has until I approach him.
Now sure you might not label that sort of play as being "gimmicky", or perhaps you would simply call me terrible for losing to such atrocious gameplay, or you might even go so far as to call me a cry-baby for looking down on or otherwise trashing another person's play style. Whichever category you fall under, I wish for you to consider one thing. The SALT is so real.
I wouldn't even be as salty as I am now if theass donkey didn't trash talk throughout the whole match going into the next day! The thing is, he's been able to beat me in Melee by spamming Peach's horrible DSmash and in Brawl by using Diddy Kong's Bananas. And then he proclaims that he's some sort of a "Smash God." Blasphemy, I say!
Whew..That was a bit over the top, huh? I feel like someone is going to tell me that now thread doesn't belong here. Either way, I still want to know how to get around this projectile spam as Bowser. I manage to play decently enough against him with Roy, but any heavy in PM that I play just gets crushed by projectiles. P.S I know you can perfect/power shield them to reflect it back, but do I look like aMsA to you..?
Oh! The characters my brother uses are as follows: Link, R.O.B, Mario and Wario.
