What do you do against them little kids, Lucas and Ness? Lucas especially, he's got dirty tricks like PK fire, PK fire, and PK fire, also has other good attacks!

Heh, I found this amusing.I have no idea if Bowser counters DK. I'm sure DK would have an easy time landing his Donkey Punch due to Bowser's size, but then again Bowser's flamethrower grinds up DK as well.
C'mon people let's not let this thread slip by, that guy from the Brawl Tier's List thread is making jokes about Bowser comparing him to Sandbag now. His hate for Bowser is completely ridiculous and it's being reflected the community Match Up Chart. We need real Bowser players to really stick it to this guy, but in order to do that we gotta speed this thread up.
I wish a mod would just shut down that thread based merely on his stating this data as fact, even though it's clearly wrong. Well I guess majority of the people truly believe Bowser is just plain garbage in Brawl despite his vast improvements from Melee. Those people that actually do play Bowser competitively please help fix this bogus match up list with your own well informed list.
Thank you ahead of time.
Anyone with a half-decent projectile can camp in this game, and that ruins Bowser completely. =/ You have to control the battle against campers like that.I still think Link is Bowser's worst nightmare. Especially a defensive Link.
While I wish this was the case, the timing becomes so tricky that there's really no point in trying against most projectile spammers.If you're against any ranged character, just use a well timed poke (Ftilt).
The Ftilt can stop the world from hitting bowser.
ALL HAIL THE FTILT
This is not the case AT ALL.I still think Link is Bowser's worst nightmare. Especially a defensive Link.
While this is true, fire breath isn't the solve all, end all that it could be.This is not the case AT ALL.
Bowser's flame cancel's bow and boomerang.
Not just Link's, but Toon Link's as well.
SH Flame Breath FTW!
Yes, Toon Link is Bowser's worst god**** nightmare. All the power of Link but twice as fast and half the hittable size.Link isn't better than Bowser, but I think Link has the advantage. Toon Link? Yeah, that one sucks. As for Link...
You may praise Bowser's F-tilt for stopping everything, but Link's Clawshot does this too, and particularly well against Bowser who is really really tall, so he's easily hit by that. You can't punish it easily either, since it's completely lagless.
Bombs are nasty. Link's Bombs send you really high, and Bowser never wants to be directly above anyone. Especially not someone like Link. Link's sword beats most things above him, and his U-air and U-smash last forever, so if he's positioned right they aren't easy to dodge.
Bowser's recovery, thanks to being really predictable, is also fairly easy bait for the Gale Boomerang gimp or a D-air. Watch out for that.
G&W is easily MY worst matchup, he's got a crazy good airgame and smashes that seem to KO at stupidly low % and come out faster than most others in the game.Game and Watch-Discuss..He has nasty combo ability...disjointed hitboxes..quick arials..amazing recovery, and ***** bowser edge guard wise.
I'm actually interested in this match up also. I don't know anyone who mains as bowser locally so I'm willing to play against one on wifi, though that doesn't really say much o.o.Honestly I'd make a blind guess that Zelda is one of Bowser's better high tier matchups.
Din's Fire can't do **** to you when you're on the ground thanks to shielding. No really, it can't. Bowser happens to have very good options on the ground, so there really isn't any trouble approaching her. Your range >>> Zelda's keep in mind. The only thing Din's Fire really kills is the ability to approach in the air if I recall.
Once you get close, you just have to bait out one of her attacks, likely a Smash, Naryu's love, or a F-air. Then punish lol.
I finally had the opportunity to fight a good one today, and I can see what you're coming from now.G&W has ridiculous priority on most attacks, he has a great recovery that is very hard to gimp, he's faster and more effective at killing than Bowser, he has the dthrow possibilities, and he can bucket your Flames. Plus, Bowser is a large target and that makes it easier for G&W to land his moves.
Lord Kagato: IDK who you play against but I can assure you than you should not underestimate G&W while playing as Bowser. G&W does good against a lot of characters and it should be no surprise that he does good against Bowser as well.
