Zebra, lern 2 counter. Bowser is hardly unstoppable, he just takes a different approach than other characters. Fox is his best matchup, supposedly 100/0 in bowser's favor, but I've beaten bowsers with fox B- is built to break the characters, or at least have them break their own limits. Generally giving each character a set of character specific techs. Peach, for example, makes much more use of her peach boomer in this game because she can cancel it with any Aerial attack move. This gives her Fair, Dair, Nair and Uair greater forward momentum and makes for quickly closing distances. Fox was given his wave dash and the ability to cancel out of his Side B into anything except another side B. DK can pluck barrels like in the old 1985 donkey kong games and throw them. Ike can now charge his sword up and shield cancel the charge, then release eruption just as samus or lucario would with their charged shots at any time he wants. Ivysaur's bullet seed can make him FLY. Like a Helicopter XD His razor leaf has a critical hit chance where some of his leaves do intense knock back and damage. and there are a ton more changes. I'm just mentioning the more noticeable ones. Each character is rebuilt to be a sort of tank or ninja in their own way. All of the characters got multiple changes, but a lot of them are subtle and take some looking at to really see them, but once you see them you know they're mega epic. As for bower's Heavy Armor (it's NOT Super Armor) - he doesn't flinch against attacks that do less than a certain amount of knock back damage. This only means that your typical jabs and lighter attacks don't take him out of his waiting animation into a damaged animation. He can attack you through weaker attacks. Still, smash attacks and strong tilt attacks work justtttt fine. They make him flinch. All you have to do is use projectiles and a grab approach against him. Once you've got him in the air, his heavy armor almost disappears completely. It's only when he's on the ground that he's a tank. I believe this is a great way to set bowser. He deserves it after being a sandbag in melee and brawl. I'd hardly say this game has a bunch of 0-deaths, but I do believe the hitstun is a little too high and could use a tweak. Other then that, its pretty sweet.
