Mario

This is probably the reason why I believe the Bowser v. Mario match-up is in Mario's favor. Jugguling is what you should be going for a lot. Bowser's aerials aren't the quickest and because of having a really big hurt-box and being heavy, Mario's up-air strings are what you should be going for the most of the match, starting them off with up-throw or down-throw (at high percents). Bowser has some quick moves to get back to the ground, Mario could bait them out and punish. I belived Mario had the advantage here, but I guess statistics say otherwise

Mario

For Mario, its better to take characters to Battlefield. Battlefield is usually the better choice for Mario because the platforms help out his up-air strings. Bowser is pretty easy to combo to Battlefield is a great choice. If Bowser were to down-B during your strings, Mario could retreat under the platforms and continue them anyway. Personally, I believe the Bowser v. Mario match-up is in Mario's favor, but I guess the statistics proof otherwise.
