Battle! Bowser vs. Ganondorf

Wouldn't that be considered a special situation somewhat similar to Samus using the super-uber-gun at the end of Super Metroid (which was not allowed)?

I think you are right Bob, but I'm not 1337, so we will see.

Eh, maybe. That sort of decision isn't up to me anymore, though. Personally, no, I wouldn't consider it the same. Why? Because all he's recieving is an increase in size and strength, not some wholly new instant-kill special attack that comes at no real cost. In order to become Giga Bowser, he has to get his ass kicked pretty badly.

I'd consider Bowser turning into Giga Bowser more acceptable than Ganondorf transforming into Ganon. In his demonic warthog form, Ganon recieves a whole assload of new attacks and abilities, in addition to a size and strength increase.

Or what about Dante transfroming into Devil Trigger mode? That was allowed in the last tournament, and Dante recieves all kinds of badass extra attacks in that form.

So, no, if it was still my call, I'd let Bowser have his Giga form.

the picture says it all.

the picture says it all.

Arena: Drowned Ruins - The monstrous corpse of an ancient castle. Partially destroyed walls, hole-riddled floors, five stories of eroded stone. Partially submerged in water. Surrounded on all sides by swampland of varying depth.

Bowsers fire breath will incinerate ganondorf in 2 seconds, but if ganondorf could just get behind him and grab his tail he could throw him of the building hoping it would do some damage to bowser, which unfortunatly for ganondorf is not the case because just like in super mario 64 he's capable of falling of platforms above botomless pits and jump back in a matter of seconds without getting hurt whatsoever.

why'd you have to ruin it? i was just making a joke.

Zombie brings up a good point, though. Bowser is capable of enduring some heavy firepower. His biggest disadvantage is mobility, and in that area, Ganondorf has got Bowser pretty much beat, considering he has levitation capabilities as is evidenced by Ocarina of Time.

I still have to say Bowser would take the win. He's just got a lot more abilities at his disposal, he can take enormous amounts of damage and he deals a wicked amount in return.
