(I couldn't find a good Dream Team Bowser, sue me!)

So I recently got back from the Pikmin 3 event, and oddly enough, what surprised/interested me the most had nothing to do with Pikmin 3 at all, but with how OP Bowser has become. The Nintendo rep was awesome enough to let us get our hands on Mario & Luigi Dream Team for the first time via demo. On the flipside, Bowser was not so awesome towards us, course that's to be expected hehe. Never before had I had this much trouble with a boss in the M&L series, let alone any Bowser boss from any Mario game! I always thought he was a pushover, ever since I beat him in Paper Mario even when he had the all powerful Star Rod. After that I've been beating him handily in like every game. However, today he finally showed me up!

I died not once, but twice, before I finally beat him on the third attempt. He was just too good! His flame attack radiates out from him in a semi-circle, so dodge timing varies depending on position, hence I screwed up a lot here. His punch attack is lightning quick and he'll even fake you out sometimes, so I got hit by this attack much more often than not. But his absolute worse attack, is when he starts rolling at you while you're running away trying to dodge walls of flame. What's ridiculous about this, is even if you dodge all the flame columns, he'll still wind-up crushing you. After the one time I actually dodged all the fire, I was just like wtf lol? I wasn't the only one having trouble either. Everyone died at their first attempt, no exceptions. The Nintendo rep even warned me of how difficult he was, but I was all like "pshaw, I pro at M&L!" ...I was uber wrong.

So what do you guys think of this? What was the hardest Bowser boss for you all? Answer below! ^_^
Oh, and yes I am planning on posting about how the event as a whole went down. I'm just a bit tired, hungry, and lazy right now so it'll have to come later. No promises though!

But getting hit by the flames slows you down also, so it's a lose lose situation. =/

It was a good fight. His roll attack took me a while to master, but when I did it was fairly simple.

How was Pikmin 3?

If only he could jump high enough.

What are we talking about here? Bowser being named? Because not only is he in the trailer, but this is really only the second or third boss, a few hours in. 

It's not spoiling anything.

Exactly, he´s spoiling a fight in the game that takes place a few hours in.

It was the other way around in the demo. Mostly tall flames with a few shorter one here and there to give you a way through the tall ones.

That same fight was in the trailers, and was most likely in the E3 demos aswell, a.k.a. it was already shown off, a.k.a. I'm not spoiling anything. Besides it's a Mario game, so of course you're gonna fight Bowser. This can be assumed whenever a new Mario game is announced.
