    Bombs... :/

    No I'm not. Homing Missiles and Super Missiles have very different functions and situations for which they are useful. Bombs also have specific uses and techs but a more powerful version of them would essentially be almost exactly the same as regular bombs - just more powerful - and I don't see...

    Do you prefer one Samus over the other? If so, why?

    OG Samus. Been playing her since 64, before I'd ever heard of Metroid, mainly just because I liked her charge beam and screw attack. Only got good with her in Brawl. Playing Samus in Smash is the reason I got into the Metroid series and I'm now a diehard fan of Zero Mission and Super Metroid. I...

    What's your Samus'/Dark Samus' GSP?

    Around 3 million for both. 3.1 for regular Samus because I play that version more.

    Bombs... :/

    A power bomb alt sure would be cool for Metroid fans but indeed would break the balance of Samus's moveset. Look, you and a lot of people underestimate her bombs but they have a lot of uses for what they are. There doesnt need to be a beefed up version of them just because the base version does...

    UNcharged ShOtZ

    I've found that uncharged shots are useful, but the recovery time seems to be different than in Brawl and I still haven't fully adjusted to it. Like, I'm used to using uncharged shots and then running in for a follow up like in Brawl, but in this game I either end up using a smash attack instead...

    Why do you main Samus?

    I main Samus because I've played her since the original Smash. My main reasons for picking her to begin with was her charge shot and the fact that she was a cool looking robot and then later found out there was a woman in there. But I sucked with her through Melee and kept experimenting with...

    Application of Bomb Drop

    I've tried to argue for some uses of the bomb but Brawl pros keep shutting it down. But it's different enough in this game that it may be useful. The fact that it can explode when attacked by enemies has proven useful to me on some occasions. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that using bombs to...

    Are Sudden Deaths Even Good Tie-breakers?

    You and Nintendo are missing the point that for some people, the entertainment comes from winning on pure skill. It's not objectively funner for there to be a sudden death with bombs. That's about as true as saying playing with all items on is objectively funner. It's "fun" in the sense that...

    Are Sudden Deaths Even Good Tie-breakers?

    I think a normal one stock match on 2 minutes should be the tie breaker. And if they still can't get that kill, then go by percentage from that match. Also, keep in mind that this is for non-tournament competitive play. It's an informal match of skill. The current Sudden Death format is not...

    So... is Samus good?

    Utilt seems to have pretty good knockback against aerial opponents, it can kill below 150%

    So... is Samus good?

    Look, it's not that I'm praising, I'm just saying some people are being too dismissive here. The game has only been out for a week. Experiment some more. The bombs have been pretty helpful to me against opponents at or above my skill level so maybe there's something to it.

    So... is Samus good?

    Look. You said The fact that you're focusing so much on damage and knockback means you're thinking of using them in the wrong situations. This isn't Melee anymore. Use the timing of the explosions to your advantage rather than completely ignoring them just because they don't explode on contact.

    So... is Samus good?

    I guess you dont use bombs enough to know that they can be used that way.

    So... is Samus good?

    But that's exactly why they can disrupt, because they think they can just walk right through it but then the timer expires and it explodes right when they're about to attack. It's worked wonders for me. I'd hate to hear what you think of firing uncharged shots as a disruptor.
