Character Stats:
HP: 142
PP: 7

Personal Relationships: (optional)
Bowser Jr.
Occupation:
Prrincess Snatcher
Moveset:
Special Moves: (Mandatory)
All "B" attacks are the "Special Moves" the characters can use. (Example: Bowser's Fire Breath.)
Standard Attack - Fire Breath - Bowser continuously exhales a stream of fire on the ground in front of him, the stream getting smaller as he uses it until he's left breathing only small bits of flame.
Upward Attack - Whirling Fortress - is Bowser's up B and triple jump. Known for it's defensive and maneuvering attributes it adds to Bowser's abilities, it fills several 'holes' in Bowser's otherwise slow moveset.
Downward Attack - Bowser Bomb - is the Down Special Move move of Bowser. If Bowser is in midair when using this move, he slams to the ground with a butt-stomp. If he's on the ground doing this, he will leap forward diagonally before performing the butt-stomp. Unlike Yoshi, who can perform the Yoshi Bomb, which will produce disruptive stars upon landing, Bowser will not make any kind of shockwave upon impact. Bowser gains some super armor at the start-up of the move. Noted in Super Smash Bros. This move can also be used to combo enemies.
Side Attack - Flying Slam - Bowser claws at his opponent and if he connects, he'll perform a flying suplex, rather than biting his opponent as he did with the Koopa Klaw. Bowser's air movement can be controlled greatly during this move. This move can be used to easily cause a Suicide KO. The victim isn't entirely at Bowser's mercy, though, as they can also alter Bowser's horizontal trajectory. However, the effectiveness of this is dependent on one's current strength.
Regular Attacks: (Optional)
All "A" attacks are the normal attacks used by pressing the A button in Smash Bros. These usually consist of punches and kicks.
(A) Standard Attack - Two quick claw swipes.
(A) Upward Attack - Swats the air above him.
(A) Downward Attack - Claw swipes while crouched.
(A) Side Attack - Punches while leaning his body forward.
Aerials: (Optional)
These are the (A) attacks used in the air.
Standard Aerial: Spins around inside his shell.
Upward Aerial: Swings his head upward.
Downward Aerial: Retracts into his shell and spins himself into the ground. Limited shockwave if hits the ground.
Side Aerial: Swats forward rather quickly.
Smash Attacks: (Optional)
All "Smash" attacks are the specialized and more powerful attacks used by pressing the A button in correlation to a directional button with some force in Smash Bros. These usually consist of devastating punches, kicks, and weaponry attacks.
Upward Smash: Pounces on all fours and jumps straight up, hitting with his shell. Opponents who only shield his jump will be hit by him landing.
Downward Smash: Retracts into his shell and spins. Limited suction.
Side Smash: Rears back and then performs a very strong headbutt.
Grabs: (Optional)
The characters may grab in up to two different ways. You may ignore the second grab if you want.
Grab 1 - (What is this character's Standard Grab?)
Grab 2 - (What is this character's Secondary Grab?)
Taunts: (Optional)
Taunts are things that your character can use to taunt his/her enemy. These are usually the character's trademark actions.
Up: Roars (same as Melee, but smoke comes out)
Side: Bites in front of him 5 times.
Down: Dances precariously on one foot, as if he's about to fall.
Final Smash:
Giga Bowser is Bowser's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It causes him to turn into Giga Bowser, gaining immense strength (dice are now 12, reflecting his greater size and strength, making him harder to avoid). While in this form, he is immune to knockback, but can still receive damage, which may leave Bowser severely weakened after the Final Smash. The transformation lasts about 10 seconds (2 of his turns). He gains no new abilities while Giga Bowser, though his existing abilities become more powerful, and most gain elemental side effects, ranging from Darkness, Fire, Ice, and Electricity.
Weaknesses:
* Largest character in the game, making him very easy to hit.
* Poor grab range.
* Easy character to combo & juggle.
* Many of his moves are shorter ranged.
* Poor vertical recovery.
* One of the slowest walking speeds.
* Has the highest crawl
* Recovery can be caught under stage lips.
* Players caught in the Flying Slam can affect Bowser's side-to-side movement in midair, either forcing or preventing a Sacrificial KO.
* Most attacks have large ending and starting lag.
* Poor comboing ability.
Personality: (copied from MarioWiki)
While Bowser has been shown from pure relentless evil to a comical villain, there have been hardly any instances where Bowser has shown any form of emotion other than anger or hatred. Bowser has never shown any remorse for his actions, which have led to numerous atrocities and caused much destruction from the Mushroom Kingdom all the way to the outer reaches of the universe. Bowser also seems to lack sympathy and has disregard for any form of life. Bowser's many attacks on the Mushroom Kingdom could have easily taken many lives, but Bowser has never shown any remorse when doing these attacks, only focusing on obtaining power and ruling the Mushroom Kingdom with Peach at his side. In Paper Mario, Mario's defeat at the hands of Bowser, to which Bowser mockingly laughed at, could be considered murder as he is only able to rise up after the combined energy of the Star Spirits. In Super Paper Mario Bowser has shown to have no problems killing his own minions when they attack. He has even on ocassions abducted infants to fullfill his nefarious goal of conquest and did not care in the least for their well being. Perhaps Bowser's biggest demonstration for disregard for other lives is in Super Mario Galaxy, where his plot was to wipe out entire galaxies to create a cosmos he can control.
While shown as lacking common sense, Bowser is shown to be on many occasions as highly intelligent. Many of his plans often made use of high tech equipment and complicated machinery that were created by the tyrant himself. While his plans often involve a repetitive phase of abducting the princess, it has become apparent it has more to do with Bowser's attraction to Peach rather than an actual step in a plot. He is however intelligent enough to realize Mario is more than a formidable foe and takes measures to combat this. An example of this is in Paper Mario, where Bowser steals the Star Rod to wield against his eternal nemesis. This resulted in his first victory and allowed him to temporarily control the Mushroom Kingdom, proving that it is well within his abilities to do so. Bowser's plans are also sometimes complicated in themselves and involve numerous crimes such as abduction, theft, robbery, terrorism, abuse, harrassment, blackmail, arson, destruction, numerous attempts of mass murder, minion facilitation, child endangerment, assault, and even acts such as frame-up, fraud, and identity theft as evident in Super Mario Sunshine.
Bower’s relations with his army and underlings are usually held in good regards. Bowser has respect for all his underlings, but cares very little for them if they fail him. If they betray him however, Bowser sees them as enemies and will not hesitate to eliminate them. His minions also, surprisingly, hold Bowser in extremely high regard and serve him out of respect more than in fear. While many do fear his wrath, his minions believe Bowser to be the strongest and best suited to run the army. Nearly every single one of his henchmen, while fail numerous times, is a hundred percent loyal to their king and serve him faithfully. Kammy Koopa and Kamek are prime examples as they treat Bowser as a god and never complain about him, even when he's not around. This applies to most of his other troops with the only complaint being that Bowser may be overly nervous about Peach escaping, though this nervousness is rational.
While Bowser has many enemies, no one has caused him more anger than Mario himself. Bowser has had a deep-rooted hatred for Mario because he has continuously disrupted his plans and won the heart of Princess Peach. Though Bowser despises Mario with a passion, he has a grudging respect for him and sees him as a worthy opponent, although he's tried to hide this reluctant respect. This is shown most strongly in Super Mario Galaxy where Bowser says that he picked the right guy to be his archenemy since Mario always puts up a fight.
Bowser's inability to understand emotions seems to be the result of his childhood. Bowser never seemed to have a mother and father, as they seemed to have abandoned him as a child or Bowser lost them at an extremely early age. In place of them, Kamek took the responsibility of looking after the future King of Evil. While caring and loyal, Kamek taught Bowser nothing but contempt for the Mushroom Kingdom, filling him with anger and hatred. This could be the reason why Bowser never openly shows love or care for his own children as he was never shown it as a child. While Bowser's past acts have made him unredeemable, his actions are primarily from a childhood that he could not control. On a tragic note, Bowser truly never had a choice between good and evil. On a more sinister note though, Bowser knows that his actions are evil and even admits rather proudly that he is an evil villain. So, Bowser's actions can be seen as a combination of his past and his own inherently wicked personality.
Likes:
Peach, being a jerk, the idea of ruling the Mushroom Kingdom (and everything else if he can), fighting Mario, scaring Luigi, bossing people around, and generally just being in charge.
Dislikes:
Losing to Mario, getting ANOTHER of his castles blown up, losing Peach.
Appearance:
History: (copied from SmashWiki)
It's unspecified what Bowser was doing before the events of the Subspace Emissary, but it can be assumed he was kidnapping Princess Peach, and fighting Mario, as usual.
Bowser first appears after Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong chase down his troops, who had stolen their bananas in order to lure them to him. Bowser confronts the two and transforms DK into a trophy with a Dark Cannon, but not before DK punches Diddy away. Bowser chases him down, and has a Shadowbug clone of him fight Diddy and Fox. After defeating the clone, the real Bowser attempts to turn them into trophies, but they manage to dodge the shot. Although Diddy is eager to fight Bowser, Fox knows that they're no match, so he grabs Diddy and makes their escape. While continuing his chase, he is told by Ganondorf to hunt down King Dedede, who had stolen Wario's trophies. He also transforms Zelda/Peach into a trophy, and after having another Shadowbug clone of him copy her, orders her Shadowbug clone to attack Mario and Pit/Link and Yoshi. Bowser and his troops attack King Dedede's castle, where Dedede is hiding. Bowser steals Peach/Zelda's trophy and evades Mario and Pit's attacks. After this, he returns to the jungle and transforms Diddy into a trophy and sends his Shadowbug clone to clone the trophy. He flees after Falco Lombardi attacks him and destroys his Dark Cannon. He is next seen with Ganondorf on the Subspace Gunship. They destroy the Halberd, but fail to stop Kirby from destroying the Gunship with a Dragoon. Fleeing into the Subspace, Bowser is betrayed by Ganondorf and turned into a trophy. He is eventually brought back to life, and after being defeated by King Dedede, beats up Ganondorf's trophy for revenge. Bowser then notices the downed Master Hand, then decides to help the heroes take down Tabuu. The sight of Master Hand lying on the ground seems to trouble Bowser, showing that he may respect Master Hand.
After helping bring down Tabuu, the King of Koopas returned to his regular lifestyle, ruling from a volcanic realm bordering Sauria. He tends to enjoy the Smash Tournaments, though, so will most likely appear to sign up for this one, as well.
