Hitbox visualization showing Bowser's side special, Flying Slam, while falling.

Overview[edit]

Update History[edit]

3.1.0

Opponents that are hit during Flying Slam's initial grab now interrupt Flying Slam instead of it slamming without an opponent.

Throw[edit]

When falling for more than 10 frames with the grabbed opponent, the slam's damage increases in proportion to the distance covered after this point, up to a maximum of 23.4%, fully affecting knockback dealt as well. More specifically, the damage multiplier is equal to1 + 0.3 * (distance / 100), with Bowser falling at a speed of 5 units per frame.

Catch, jump, and fall[edit]

The falling portion starts when the collateral hitbox becomes active, and lasts indefinitely until Bowser lands, at which point it transitions into the slam.

Parameters[edit]

The jump's horizontal speed can be influenced by both Bowser and the grabbed opponent. The summarized formula from the parameters is[0.2235 - 0.0005b] - [0.22 - 0.0007t], withb andt being Bowser and the target's respective damage percents, and the resulting value being the jump's horizontal acceleration per frame. Bowser's speed influence cannot be lower than 0.02, while the target's cannot be lower than 0.024, and the total acceleration to either side cannot be higher than 1.

While Bowser has an opponent grabbed, hisblast line detection is extended downward by 10 units, usually causing him to get KO'd first inSacrificial KO attempts. Furthermore, from version6.0.0 onward, falling with a grabbed opponent for more than 100 frames forces a grab release.
