Alright, I'll just skype you then if I'm having difficulty with an MU.

I do some MU research in my own time but I think the majority of it is possibly just getting from being able to play Samus skillfully to really getting under her skin and finding that psychological comfort in being able to play her.

Edit: Btw I was playing with her Usmash to see if it had ANY decent uses and around mid percents on heavies the last two hits I found could easily lead into a Uair. Sadly it doesn't help Usmash from being a weak option.

Edit2 (derp): Think you could start up a G&W MU thread? I feel like that MU should be touched upon for others.

i would destroy all of your garbage samus's, but alas i wont be in attendance at apex

Yea, I think I've got it, Its so cool I think ill upload another video.
This is the first : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iAYE6IRJbU

I have a theory now (perhaps you can confirm this Stealth Raptor, being a smash researcher and all) after playing around with Link (I originally skipped him because his jump is so short).

On Lylat cruise, Link apparently can't fullhop to reach the middle platform, he just doesn't quite reach it (poor fella). Now this is horribly sad, but apparently he CAN reach it if you platform cancel. So this means platform cancelling moves your character up without having to actually reach the platform's height?
while i have no exact data to say one way or another it does appear to pull the character up. i dont know the exact mechanics of platform canceling

Eh, it's not gonna make the daunting task of getting a lot of activity back in here happen faster.

But at least I'll be able to tweak the threads that need tweaking and stuff like that.

Yeah I agree, Samus has never been a popular character but getting some activity in here will be a start.

Btw feel free to get rid of that god-awful dash attack string thread I made if you can, it's all voided info and has no use sticking around.

I had another question maybe you can help me here. I know it seems a bit obvious, but I'm wondering can you platform cancel during any frame of zair? I've only been able to do it when I buffer the zair with my jump, but I'm wondering could a rising airdodge be done and then cancelled into a zair JUST because platform cancelling. That way you could rise while invincible, without the endlag of your airdodge.

Well I got the crap kicked out of me at a house tourney yesterday lol.

On the plus side when I played one of our PR'd Diddy mains he agreed with me that he didn't see how he hard counters Samus. I feel a little less crazy now lol.

Another addition to(if any) Samus Finder

Hello all! I'm new to Smashboards, but not necessarily to Smash. Samus, as you all know, is the main character of my favorite video game franchise so I wish to improve with her in Brawl. Was hoping to find someone or some people to help me improve my Smash game with Samus.

Come to think of it, many of the Samii still here to this day aren't on here. Tempted to just format the whole thing, and readd those who wish to/are still around to do stuff.

But I think we're still not not-dead enough for that. Ah well, for now I'll just play with it for a while, see if I can make it better or prettier.

I am currently a Gulp.....Freshman*shutter* in college, so when I have free time/am online might suddenly become.....hazardous.
Also, I just now though of something. I know it's from another game but hear me out on this. What if, somehow, Samus was able to acquire the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds to become Super Samus? Sorry bout the randomness, but I just wanted to tell someone before I forget it.

Welcome to college, your time won't be eaten up as badly unless you take a lot of credits or are an art major, like me.

After I realised my Falco has gotten garbage (mostly because I don't CG), I've recently picked Samus and ZSS, but I'm focusing more on using her Power Suit version because of the long learning curve of the latter. It's kind of odd to go like this, but that's just me. =p

While armoured Samus may have a low learning curve you're gonna have a lot of trouble for a long time getting her to a competitive level.


Also I'm calling her Armoured Samus from now on. Like a knight or something

That's fine by me, as I don't really play competitive that much =p

It doesn't seem to have a lot of people in those boards, is it always like this ?

Fair enough!

The boards have their moments. Most of the players have school/families/are busy in some regards. It's a shame but it's nice because the samus mains are mostly good people.

There is just not enough of us that MAIN samus and that are REGULAR competitors anymore. There are no rivalries and no hope in an age where camp/spam/defensive styles and horrible rulesets rule the streets
