Ha Ha....Yeah!

[Medevenx]

Although the new Bowser also looks nice, he kinda' looks less fierce.

[Ton]

How so? He definitely looks more fierce with the new face.

[Koopaul]

No I see it. The face is too puffy like a stuffed animal. I depuffed it a little in the edit I made.

[mutantyoshi]

yeah you did, its just that they didn't use that one, they used the puffy faced one in the SSB Project topic.


Edit: just realized, will we make him slide across the ground for his running, because it doesn't make any sense, seeing him slide across the ground, and then I thought, why not make him roll up in a ball to move around a little faster, since he actually has done that in a few games.

[Bazzoka]

If other people agree, sure, we could use it. I personally don't see that ball move to be a running animation.

[Koopaul]

That's more like an attack.

[tsr moderation staff]

i agree. the sliding one never made sense, but it was always fun as hell.

[Kriven]

Maybe make him crawling quickly instead of sliding? Like he's running on all fours?

[Bazzoka]

Really, I bet they only did that sliding as the running is because all fours doesn't seem like Bowser at all. And personally, I don't think it should change at all. It seems fine as it is, regardless if it makes sense or not, since... this is Smash bros. A lot of things don't make sense.

I think it would be nice if Bowser, ya know, actually ran like the other characters. He's been shown to be able to do it just fine in the Mario games. Take Galaxy for example, when he's chasing you to perform that stomp attack.

This, and I think the slide makes Bowser look more sinister . He seems a bit "stiff" in the Smash games, too; it gives him that 'powerful character' feel. Physically running wouldn't make him look as cool as he would doing as little movement as possible.

[tsr moderation staff]

yeah, the only way bowser can really run is a sort of waddle, which really doesn't fit the beastly, powerful feel he has in smash bros

I still like the idea of the allfours-lunge he does (I think it's when he gets up from being knocked down?), but at the same time, we don't wanna make him an unbalanced character. :\
