I said wow
RE: the ranbats, I think more brackets with fewer participants in each would make it easier to keep track of and thus easier for everyone to finish their matches in the time allotted.
Don't I know it... I learned that frustration long ago, and I never looked back.

GGs Shamrock. I probably also should've tried to make more use of the Luma warp and shooting star bit, but I don't use them that often even without customs so I kept forgetting I have them.

I think what I have to learn is to just stay back and not play aggressive. I probably pushed a little too much.

Dog just spewed on the carpet, so I had to clean it. Sorry guys!
Wtf why is Bowser glowing

Usually means equipment is on.
Upper Cutter is so awesome. Gives Kirby a KO move, a much better recovery, a combo ender, a good "Shoryuken"-ish/OoS move (I remember reading it has a couple invincibility frames at the beginning)...I really wish it was his default up special. Mostly been rocking 3231 for Kirby and it's a lot of fun.
You should play me again sometime.
The biggest things outside of the OoS option is how relatively safe it is since you can fast fall it and it makes his dair gimp much more feasible since he can go deeper and still make it back to the stage.

Ggs everyone. FFas are pretty fun because they are less stressful or something. And I have a higher chance of winning...
Naw just need to Falcon Punch more right?

Get some good reflexes too, trust me on this one.
Nothing like powershielding an attack into an immediate jump-cancel up-smash out of shield.

These guys'll be able to give you better advice with the match up than I can, for sure.
I will say that patience and power shielding will be your friend against any character with projectiles.
I've played a few Yoshi's here and they've all typically switched to the Egg throwing game, which is smart. You started there, so that was definitely good.
I would say maybe try to be a little less aggressive and wait for spacing opportunities. Yoshi's eggs are great because they allow you to dodge out of the way of MB/CB while at the same time tossing a projectile. And even if you aren't in the line of fire, you're able to curve the eggs around my projectiles to get them in. It can be a pretty frustrating game to play that will force me to approach you instead of the opposite.
You were doing some great stuff though! Just keep playing!

Alright, I'll play you without customs. Could you host?
Yeah sure, my Wii just had some weird kind of crash but I'm booting up again.
Edit: setting it up ranbats style, 3 stock 8 minutes. Will start with Jigglypuff, though that is not my final form.
Edit: Jiggs is annoying, I can appreciate that.
It can be tricky dealing with Jigglypuff in the air, yeah.
What am I even looking at here? Rocket rest?
Leaping Rest (Down B 2), only does 11% instead of 20%/35% (after flower stops) that normal Rest does.

I'm up for it if you want, you gonna host or should I?
Beaten.
Anyone else wanna 1v1? ID is HarimeNui.
Fine with or without customs.
Sorry, had to go afk for a bit there, though I was about done for tonight. GGs. Nice Bowser; probably the best I've faced so far.
Good games. Unfortunately a number of your characters are pretty poor matchups for Jiggs or Bowser. Namely Sonic, which is a pretty tough one.
Do me a favor though, if we play again try to stay as the same character for a few rounds in a row. Really discouraging to get my ass handed to me by your Little Mac and have to wait 4 matches for him to come up in your rotation again - staying the same character lets us figure out that specific match a bit more, patterns will emerge and get adapted to in a way that doesn't happen in a single match.
I'll try and stop SD'ing too :/
Karsticles is the best I know of. I haven't played Calmanimal or Oco le Troof, the two Bowsers who've probably had the most stream time in Smash 4 tourneys, but Kars rates among them IMO.
Ah, you should have told me to stick with a character if that's what you wanted. I pretty much never stay with a same character for long during a casual set, so that's always how I'll play. I'll keep it in mind for next time.
The last time I went against Karsticles was during season 1 of our ranbats, so it's been a while. Maybe he was less familiar with the Sonic MU back then.

I'm hurt, Flux. :-(
I actually have some new ideas for facing Sonic.
Thanks for the compliment, unlike FLUX, who is a doodie-head! >:-|
Also, one day someone will explain to me why 99% of the people who post here decide to cut my name off at the "s" for an abbreviation instead of the "t". :-O
:-D
Sonic is definitely a match-up where I just shrug my shoulders and wing it, but now that I reconfigured my controller for better OoS Fortresses, I think I might fare better. I wouldn't say my play has changed a ton, but Cronox might be better at handling the Sonic MU than me. Actually, if you saved any of the replays, I'd love to see them. If Cronox has good anti-Sonic tools, I want to steal them.

What was he doing?
I never get to see other Bowsers play unless it's against me, and Bowser vs. Bowser is a really weird matchup. I should look up the guys Cronox listed, because I've never seen anyone play Bowser but me. :-/

I could have been dead if you realeased it any time later thou lol
sad it's kinda laggy, but I can deal with it, also that upB custom is really good
nothing like a good ragnell in the face for dinner
Particularly, I believe it was the range and speed of his forward air attack that caught me off-guard. It's in line with underestimating Bowser's mobility, but I was surprised how strong and fast his air normals actually are. I really wasn't on the defensive after getting knocked off the stage, because I thought it was kind of like Little Mac and he'd have to stay grounded, instead of being able to chase me in the air and actually kill me off that way.

Ah. Up B early to get back on the stage to counter a ledge chase. Bowser can't recover onto the stage safely when he is facing away from the ledge. It's a weakness unique to him. Yay.
