King K. Rool vs Bowser Jr.

When playing as King K. Rool against Bowser Jr., focus on using your armor and heavy hitting moves to absorb damage while punishing Bowser Jr.'s attempts to approach. Utilize your projectiles, like the Blunderbuss, to disrupt Bowser Jr.'s setups with Mecha-Koopas; ideally, you want them to latch onto him instead of you, creating openings for your attacks. Position yourself to punish his recovery with your down smash or forward tilt when he tries to return to stage, as Bowser Jr. can be vulnerable during that time. Remember to stay mindful of his side special, which can be used to initiate offensive pressure, but your belly armor can help you withstand some of his lighter attacks.
