A wavedash is a technique in Super Smash Bros. Melee that is performed by air dodging diagonally into the ground, causing the character to slide a short distance.

Bowser is the heaviest character in the game, making him very tanky and hard to kill at low percents. His body is enormous though, making him prone to extended combos that usually would not work on any other character. Bowser has trouble dealing with any character with more range than him, or characters that can out-maneuver him.
