Horrible projectiles still gives her a better long-range game than a lot of the cast, that have no projectiles, or just medium-range ones. I'm looking at the list of characters left .... Samus' long-range beats, IMO: Marth, Wario, DK, ICs, Kirby, Luigi, CF, ZSS, Bowser, Ike, Jiggs, PT, Sonic, and Mario. That's a good amount... and I think I'm being rather generous, ex. to skip Olimar whose "projectile" is medium-range... and has bizarre properties.
What good is a long range game if it doesn't phase anyone? How strong is a long range game if Marth'll power right through/over those projectiles?

I hope they actually give a character a bad review for once!

Unfortunately anything I write pales in comparison to Overswarm, so I just hope he is an angreh man on the day of the write up =P
They said they won't be giving negative reviews, or something along those lines.
It's probably Samus....she has one of the best projectile games in the game. Intelligent use of missiles and super missiles will keep the enemy at bay with an occasional well timed charged shot. A seasoned veteran will make excellent use of the grapple beam (SH-grapple beam=stops many approaches) at mid-range. Short range, she does struggle, but d-tilt and d-smash are good options.
BS. If Samus has the best projectile game in the game, then Yoshi is top tier.

not really.
missle game is one-dimensional, and once you get the timing down zair is nothing.
just powershieldslide right through it.
charge shot is not that great.

ZSS samus has beastly air's, but is she really under estimaated, if so thats news to me, cause everyone i know (like in real life, not just SWF) says shes awsome, and thats alot of people. she also has several good kill moves, being: back air, side-B, down-B, forward and up air in some situations, and forward smash is good at like 140% and higher if not spammed, which no decent ZSS would ever spam her forward smash, being as it sucks. and she has a decent close game, with up, and down tilts

i think yoshi, peach or samus, like every one else says

I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being Sheik, since Zelda was the previous discussion and a lot of this stuff fits Sheik quite well.

Underestimated because she's placed on low/bottom tier in every list, thus people think she sucks.

I thought most had her in Mid, and I don't think I've ever seen her in bottom. Are you looking at Tier Discussion?
Mid-low-bottom, i should have said. Anyways, the ZSS boards are painfully empty most of the time compared to almost all of the other boards (except maybe Bowser and the rest of the "uncool" characters.)

Oh well. It practically came to Either Samus or Yoshi at the end.

Next one is obviously Yoshi though. I mean, just look at that them Manly Shoes n Saddle!

Captain Falcon is emasculated by his scarf and new handling, Snake has already been discussed, Ike fights for his friends, Zero Suit is a chick, and spoilers it's not Marth, so next week is obviously Luigi.
