Smash Ultimate: Art of Bowser 

Big bois back in season fellas

It feels so unreal that I've been a Bowser main since Melee first came out, it's been a long road through brawl and smash 4, then finally seeing him viable is so crazy to me in a good way I never thought I'd see the day

the best part of the art series is how theres so much about strategy and not just saying what the moves do. thanks izaw, i have literally no more art request at this point, luigi, bowser, sepheroth, miibrawler, fox, shiek, You've done it all!

If only Bowser had his fireball custom move from Smash 4 in this game...

I think browser's design is probably the best out of all the heavies as he has what every other heavy weight should have which is the threat of deadly ambiguity when he jumps at you ( he could Fair, Dair, Command grab ETC) which makes him feel like a boss as heavyweights should

I've recently picked Bowser up and I've been waiting for you to drop an "Art Of" for him Thank you so damn much Izaw! I've been following your content since Smash 4 (':

Glad to see a clip from my boi MELFOR at 4:52. It's awesome to see one of my best friends cementing himself into the community.

Yes!! I have been waiting for this! Thanks to Phy's guide, I was able to learn bowser fast. Now I have this amazing guide, too!

Fantastic video! I especially appreciate the recovery mix ups. I had no idea Bowser's recovery could be mixed up lol

Hey Izaw, love the content. I'd love to see some brief information in these videos about stage picks and bans for each character if that's something you're able to throw in. ♥

It was a pleasure having my clips in the video! Keep up the great content!!😍

This is gonna be so helpful! Bowser is my fav Nintendo character, feels like i can do so much better now i've seen how many options i haven't been using. Thanks man!

It's an honor to be a part of this! Thanks so much!

My absolute favorite smash series. I don't even play most of these characters, but I watch (and rewatch) all of them. Fantastic content; Thanks IzAw!

Was a pleasure working with ya. Glad to see the King get a proper character guide.

Thank you man I was thinking of maining Bowser and this helped me a lot❤

As a Bowser main since Brawl I’ll give some tips not mentioned in the video, Jab 1 to side B is a combo at any percent 50% of the time it only works if jab 1 sends inward instead of outward, Bowser’s ledge trapping is really good, shield halfway between the ledge as roll distance, from this distance up B can cover everything except jump if you move correctly on the ground which he can cover with forward air depending on what you’re predicting the opponent to do Forward tilt angled down is one of the best 2 frame options in the game, Not many characters can hit your shield safely without risk of being hit by up b that kills at about 150% regardless of weight, fall speed will be the thing that determines their survivability but it kills universally from about 170% anywhere on final destination You can use the non flinching part of flame breath to build the percent of an opponent after a shield break to kill them from a shield break at 0% You can get the opponent to shield a down B by using down air a lot until the last stock then bait them into shielding a down b

Bro I use the quick short hop side b to close out of distance grab situations and especially whiff punishes. It’s so fast and usually the opponent doesn’t expect it. Love that you put that option in there @izaw. You post such useful videos. Thank you.

Bro, I've been waiting for this one ever since the Art of Bowser you made for Smash 4 came back. Literally- the smash 4 Arts of Bowser and Ike are what got me into the right mindset to fighting games and improve. Thank you so much you absolute babe.

Love to see characters like Bowser in "art of" series! Good job keep it up ! If the next art of is Mewtwo I would instantly die 😍

I love how simple and in-depth these are, I would love to see an art of Ness. An extremely common character but few resources/guides

Niceeeeeee I didn't think you would make Ultimate's version of art of Bowser this early since you made one for smash 4 but I'm glad to have been surprised, I've watched smash 4's version a lot so I think it will be the same this time as well, great content as always

Well time to hop back on Smash again and lab my main once more lol. Absolutely love your content Izaw! Keep up the great work!

This video is amazing bro, hope to use it to finally make that last push into Elite Smash!

One thing to add is how good forward tilt can be for chasing down a grounded opponent at kill percent. The pivot cancel has great range, and it kills earlier that up tilt and forward air while being slightly faster than down smash

Great video as always my man

Great video, hopefully it helps me beat this big guy. I would love to see an Art of Terry video. I like your How to Terry but I'd love to see you do a deep dive like you do on your Art of series.

fantastic bowser video makes me wanna start playing him in tournaments again! thank you so much

love the level of in-depth review over both move and strategies; as a Game and watch player, I'd love to see a video done on him. He's such a weird and quirky character, I'd love to see what you have to say about him. Love these videos, keep it up!

Been waiting for this video for awhile now thanks, Izaw!

Superb guide, Zawman! Thanks a lot!

There’s gonna be a local tournament happening later today. I played Bowser a lot in previous Smashes, but never practiced anything or looked up guides for him because apparently, I could still compete with my siblings who did practice complex stuff. Hopefully this guide gives me an edge

Early smash ultimate i found a very fun game to play. Samus allways shot their charge shot to cover both jump and stand, because it didnt combo yet, and i figured out you could time an up smash to destroy it and the amount of times they say I was "gonna get hit" they ran towards me to begin ledgetraping and instead they got weak hot up smashed into back air was far to many

This has given me the motivation to keep playing this king. Thank you!

Great video! How did you get that bowser stage?

Really enjoyed the video. Good job!

I recently got hooked on playing DDD and would love a video on how to play him, since I have been having a lot of fun with his ledge trapping

OMG Thank you for making this i was waiting for this lol😁😁😁

This was awesome! Great job. 👍

Wanted this for literal years

Damn I have been playing bowser for years and never thought of that up B loop at ledge.

i didnt know about the different ways of using up b, that is very fascinating

been waiting for this since the game came out, bowser is such a slept on character

The falling hit of Up smash can hit normal get up more than I'd like to admit, and then COMBO into back air !

Thank you sir… this was exceptional

very informative and detailed video! ik this sounds niche but maybe the next character you could do is mii sword fighter? he seems fun tbh

Havent played smash ult since sephy came out but bowser will always be in my heart mans carried me through tourneys, nair-> bair and dash cancel ftilt op............and upb. Hope the smash community is still good

Notes from a Recovering Bowser Addict: Jab 1 is also great mix on shield between jab 2 timing and side b, especially back of shield for many. Retreating fair using slingshot is also fairly good safe pressure, especially if you can autoslip, or even just go off platform or offstage. Offstage works best if you have a well developed game off ledge as bowser. For at ledge, these options cover so many cases that you can play slow and sturdy from ledge in some MUs, blocking your opponent into limited setups because you can cover most commitments from ledge. In specific MUs like Roy, all the FGC character, little mac, and anyone who needs reactable repositioning to hit ledge it can be incredibly strong. This even applies for characters with good ledge hang punishes, so long as they require reactable setup you can just play around them. Bowser's uniquely gross ledge toolkil -Firebreath(if they commit to anything on the ground near ledge this is FREE) -Side b -The biggest getup attack -Down b regrab mixups -One of fastest ledge drop fast fall double jump empty lands (not quite a NIL but enables similar options) -Autocancel Forward air from ledge (timing is tight but can be consistent) combos -Ledge hop Nair combos from ledge -Drop Up air to close stocks and shark with invincible head (great at calling out some ledge hang punishes) BONUS: You can actually autoslip ledge hop forward air from ledge to cancel the endlag and go back to ledge... Boxx only tho I hope this is helpful for those who are struggling on ledge or with safe pressure!

Love your videos!! I would love to see Mewtwo next!

As a bowser main Im excited to see your insights on the character and see what your thoughts on him are

Been Waiting On This Video For Years Now For Ultimate 💯 My Bowser Mains It's Our Time Now!!

Very excited I loved the sm4sh bowser art of

Bowsers fair can sometimes cross up and a nich combo is fair into bair at leadge for a kill

Very good video as always

Thanks for making this.

Thx for using a couple of my clips. Love the content o7

Man, that Bowser’s Castle stage! Wish it was base game, it’s funny how we don’t have a dedicated Bowser’s Castle stage yet

Finaly thanks

holy shit new quality smash content!!

Never stop this series 🙏

Love the dedication to this series. Would love to see Hero Next 34 out of 90 lol.

i didn't know about that whirling focus tech

awesome content ! I would love to see art of hero

I would love to see a Pichu one.

8:28 is definitely the best part of this video. To hell with Steve. 🌋

Absolutely insane video

16:13 the way he's approaching you is intimidating look at his face the ground must be shaking as well

I was caught by surprise that my clip made it in the video amazing video I sure love playing this turtle dragon

I'd love to see an Art of Aegis. Most rhe good info isnt complied in one place and it'd be nice to get matchup tips for fighting them too.

I'd love The Art of Joker, not the How to play, but now with the meta more developed, it has a lot to offer :) Love your content!!

FINALLY

Art of banjo

Art of Bowser Jr. next!!

O YEAH LETS GOOOO BOYSSS!!

Love it

Daddy penguin dedede next would make my year lol

Peak humanity right here

Making an Art of Isabelle would be really cool!

How can we get the scenario of that Bowser’s Castle?

Can you do an Art of Pit video next? He's a character with more depth than one might assume, so breaking him down and showing how he works might help with the learning curve.

What level is the training footage from?

Are you still planning on having an art of for every character?? I imagine there are some characters that would require some insane detail and would take forever to make videos for

Always baffled me we never had a proper Bowser’s Castle stage anywhere in the actual Smash series. Its such an iconic Mario location to the point that some people call August 4th, or 8-4, Bowser day.

PLEASE ART OF PICHU

Bowser is my all time favorite character in smash, tysm for this! 😆 Is it possible to get a "art of shiek"?

So many bowsers in queue tonight. Now I know why haha, another fantastic "art of" as always Izaw. Well done!

Was considering playing more bowser 45 mins ago lol the timing

ooh can you do the belmonts next pls?

For all you new and seasoned Bowser! I'm posting match up guides on every single character and how to beat them with Bowser. Currently I have one on Mario, Steve and DK. This series will feature all 89 characters!

It's finally here, I can't believe it It's enough to make a former bowser main cry

You should do Ridley next

Amazing video, waitting for the art of bayonetta

IZaw!!! Love love love your content!

Another banger vid IZAW ❤❤❤

I really like bowser lately. He might be my favorite heavy

Please do one of these for DK and DeDeDe!

At last, my main is next up on the list.

how do you get bowser castle stage????

As a Bowser main this video juggled me for 17 minutes
