Yeah, I agree 100% with those points. I just wanted to bring that up so that if we DO end up confirming Bowser is capable of using the full power of the Grand Star, he'd almost certainly fully scale to it; it's just up in the air right now whether or not that's the caseBased on the bronze Grand Star thing Bowser’s definitely not “holding back”, but he also needs time to properly learn that power.
The issue though is that even with that argument Bowser should still be in the Tier 4 range. Even at his weakest in 64, he knew how to use Star power well enough to fight Mario with 8+ Power Stars. Bowser didn’t personally have all the Power Stars on him in 64 and was seemingly just drawing power from the ones under the control of his army, whereas in Galaxy 2 the Grand Star is literally in his body so he’s probably drawing on way more power than he was from a single Power Star in 64. There’s also the question of whether the 4-A calc actually applies to Bowser or not as I don’t think that was proven yet. If it was created by Bowser with the power of the Grand Star then he would be 4-A anyway, so that adds more complications.
