So... Bull. The triple barrel madman, the original bush camper, defies modern physics just as much as the other brawlers. Along with any other brawler, Bull has some pretty strong stereotypes associated with him. So, once again, I have to re-emphasize that stereotypes don't hold true to everyone, and anyone who tells you so can go suck a sour dill pickle. But regardless I hope you enjoy!
Playing Bull:
Bull probably has one of the strongest stereotypes about him. You know the one. Come on, say it with me. BUSH CAMPING BULLS THAT SIT IN A BUSH. I mean, I suppose he isn't the only one that can bush camp. Shelly, Rosa, El-Primo, and pretty much every brawler can do the same thing and can arguably do it better. It's just a lot easier to kill an enemy that isn't ready to shot back, and the shorter time you can give them to shoot back then the better. Surprisingly enough, I think Bull has this stereotype because he is one of the worse brawlers that can bush camp, since most people in high ranks bush check. Compare that to Dynamike with his stun gadget who doesn't even let you fight back, or Mortis who can dash on you from several tiles away with no warning, it kinda makes Bull redundant for bush camping in 500+. The proper way to play Bull is being an opportunist and sneak around the flanks or covers and use your super to get picks. The only showdown map that Bull is honestly good in in high ranks is just Cavern Churn and even then there're better options, and now it's gone!
That being said, Bull unlike Shelly is actually viable in more then just two game modes (that being Gem Grab and Brawl Ball). With his super and high damage potential, he's pretty decent in Heist.
Of course, similar to Shelly, he's pretty reliant on what the map is and how many bushes are in it. If you use Bull, you either "recently downloaded the game and still have little clue what you're doing", the "I play Bull because the map has a bunch of bushes and therefore he's automatically the best choice", and finally "I actually understand how to play around my own and the enemies walls." The last one is actually a bit scary to face off against while the first two aren't nearly as much, but let's be honest, he's just not the best choice. He's a better choice then Shelly, but not the best choice.
Stomper:
Okay this gadget is just plain solid. The only thing more deadly then a Bull charging towards you, is a Bull charging towards you and has the ability to stop. It even slows the enemy, making it even harder for them to escape! Similar to ShellShock to Bandaid, you'll often see this used whenever survivability doesn't matter, mainly Showdown.
T-Bone Injector:
This gadget doesn't coordinate well with his other star powers. I mean, they activate when he's low health, and this gadget heals him, not for very much either. That being said though, it can offer some pretty good survivability and definitely help out in a fight.
Berserker:
Speaking of being overshadowed, this thing exists. Similar to T-bone injector, the other star power for Bull is just better overall. If you use this, you probably just don't have the other one.
Tough Guy:
You use this because you have it. Like, is there really anything else to say?
Barbarian King Bull:
Similar to all things free, on the day of release all Bulls used this skin and eventually after some time stopped. If you're using it now, you probably are a F2P and don't have any better options.
Viking Bull:
With most archived skins, you don't see them very often, since the lack of people buying it is probably what caused it to be archived in the first place. It's not a bad skin it's just that better skins have existed and there were better brawlers to main, the pricing was increased, the reskin is only half decent, the inflation rates, yadayadayada, whatever. Point is, if you happen to have that one in a million chance to actually see someone use this, then they're either a true OG or they don't understand what's an actual good skin for it's cost.
Touchdown Bull:
Read the last chapter for the exact same stereotype.
Linebacker Bull:
If you see someone using this skin then chances are that they're high enough level that buying that mega box at the end of the season doesn't really matter to them, and even then they should probably spend their star powers on other skins. This stereotype probably means nothing though since with power 11 now, since no one will ever be 'maxed out'.
Space Ox Bull:
This is the skin that Bull mains should use. For a skin with custom voice lines, animation, texture, animation, this skin is cheap (*cough, cough* Virus 8-bit). For some reason though I never see it, which probably says something about how many Bull mains there are.
True Gold/True Silver:

B-800:
*sigh* y- *sigh* you know the drill. *gets a microphone* LOOK AT PAST CHAPTERS FOR THE SAME STEREOTYPES!
And surprisingly that's it. Huh, not much to say is there? Like always I'll be doing Jessie next. Feel free to leave any comments and I hope you enjoyed!
